With the upcoming Presidential election, I observed many people all over the web displaying the internal Divide within themselves. Some vote against their party for the first time in decades for what they believe is right. Others vote against their identity and rights out of fear that the outcome of an incompetent leader would far exceed the negatives. It is much like the two sides of a Poker card: Which side is right, and which is wrong? The answer is hard to discern– either side can be upright, it all comes down to the perspective it is viewed from.
