Has the pandemic affected your political views in any way? If so, how?

After watching the debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence It's affected the way I think of my life and the conditions that I along with my family are in currently. I understand that my vote counts and it would help immensely to change the presidential tide by getting Trump out of office but honestly the democrats are no better than the republicans. This system was put in place not to help those in need or take of the needs of the people but to still keep black and brown bodies below or at the bottom. From what I've gathered it makes more sense for African Americans to create their own nation divided from all the other mess that American claims to provide. It's said that America is land of the free, but how when it was built off of the backs of enslaved black and brown bodies. So called the American dream and when African Americans are being racially profiled, murdered and disrespected on the daily. Now this COVID virus which is killing many of our friends and family. This is a continuation of years to come if their isn't actual change, and honestly it'll only become progress for us until we just leave and do what's right for us and our families.
