My brother shared a bundle of pictures of Cecelia (4) and Colton (3) at the beach this summer and they made me think...they are why we take elections so seriously. We all detest the mud slinging and misdirection and the added level of discomfort in everyday conversations. But we suffer through this for them more than anything else. As Aaron Sorkin said in Westwing, "in a democracy, sometimes the other side wins." I hope we can re-learn this lesson this year, because an opposition party ought to be a loyal opposition, working together to fix the problems families face, for Cecelia and Colton, and for a strong democracy to protect their future wave riding.
