There is a lot of "I won't be friends with this person because they voted for ___." Personally, I think that says more about that person's character than the voter and who they voted for. ]]> 2020-11-04 16:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890527348 https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890527732 knowing that everyone has their own opinion, and trying to understand where that person is coming from. ]]> 2020-11-04 16:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890527732 https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890528999 Help each other out and fight for our rights if they try to be taken away. If the government becomes corrupt and starts infringing on human rights, I have no problem fighting for what I believe in and fight until all humans are treated equally and fairly. ]]> 2020-11-04 16:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890528999 danny_decker https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890529248 Well, people who are invested in politics are going to have stronger beliefs than others. I think that people will be upset if they feel that they are going to lose some sort of right(s) and be happy if they see their candidate win. ]]> 2020-11-04 16:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890529248 https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890531843 I think Americans just need to accept that everyone has differing opinions. The fact that businesses across America have had to board up and prepare for mass chaos is baffling to me. Our country is so divided currently, but I think that comes down to a lack of acceptance and support.]]> 2020-11-04 16:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890531843 danny_decker https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890534712 I don't really believe that we can support each other on every issue/topic... since we vote for specific reasons. I think the best we can do is trying to have some sort of civil discourse to hash things out. For example, why would someone support another person who they believe is going to take rights away from them? ]]> 2020-11-04 16:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890534712 https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890536330 I think we can support one another by making sure we're listening to other people. Things aren't always black and white and judging people before even hearing them out doesn't benefit anyone. ]]> 2020-11-04 16:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890536330 gabbyparkos https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890536538 2020-11-04 16:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890536538 https://padlet.com/patricianorman1/278wwwcthpzk1co9/wish/890543363 We can support people to a certain extent. We should not support people if they think racial or homophobic  acts is okay. we should not support people who think its okay to deny people of their human rights
