Competition makes us better. It’s why monopolies are banned if they “are established or maintained through improper conduct, such as exclusionary or predatory acts.” Without a reason to get better… we don’t. It’s why so many people work better under pressure. Competition keeps us moving.
So, no matter what the original intention, Democrats and Republicans are constantly competing. Ideally, it should keep one side from monopolizing politics in the US and due to the a wide span of ideals and opinions, but there shouldn’t ever be a winning team. These two parties should be pushing each other to make this country better. We don’t need petty fights and laws passed out of spite. We need people for what we elected them to do, which is to fight for us. To fight for the everydayers on the street, the people paying it forward and living whatever life we are living. Big issues are important, but small legislation can affect thousands so fast. The so-called “competition” in Congress should be there to make our legislators work harder, to motivate the growth of ever better ideas. It should not be the thing tearing our nation apart. If your only response is that, “This is how politics always is,” then, I don’t want to hear it. Politicians have a hard job because they chose it. Competition seems to be a common excuse, the reason behind mistakes. I still believe that healthy competition makes us better. If you keep having to remind the players that they playing for the same team, then something isn’t working.

Are you already thinking about it? It’s a word that will change the atmosphere in the room in a split-second. Let it leave your lips and nobody is listening anymore. Hear it and see disgust scatter across the group. Call yourself one and you might be hit rapid-fire with questions completely irrelevant to the conversation. Your very morality is vulnerable to be questioned. “When are you guys going to grow up and face the real world?” “So, you believe in killing innocent babies?” “Are you, like, vegan?” “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Do you know the word? Are you ready? Oh, I can’t even say it…. *whispers* democrat
