DEMOCRATS ~
Assuming “nice” means positive, I have 2 things to say:
The Dems do stick together, they’re united all the way,
They also have Joe Manchin, who I think, is good and fair;
With unity, Repubs might note, you can go anywhere.
RPUBLICANS ~
Conservatives, by nature, usually are respectful folk
Who are for our Constitution, not a governmental yolk;
They’re inventors and investors, they build hospitals and parks,
They create jobs, they are patriots in their actions and remarks.
WHAT I WANT FOR THIS COUNTRY ~
What I pray for, every day, is change of heart in those who feel
They can tear down what we stand for, change our laws, and slowly steal
All the rights that we were given in our Constitution, bold;
Who use censorship of free speech ’til they have total control!

Author Notes
Merriam Webster describes â??niceâ?? as being polite and kind.
Dictionary.com says nice means pleasing, agreeable, delightful
Cambridge English dictionary explains nice as pleasant, enjoyable, satisfactory, kind, friendly.
Personally, I cannot associate any of these meanings with politics, thus my choice of picture. Political behavior is, to the naked eye, usually contentious. It is a daunting challenge to write poems about our political parties in the context of "nice" â?¦ unless itâ??s about what we wish them to be, not what they are. I have written what I think is factual and fair.
In â??what I want for this country,â?? I wrote as a concerned patriot who is proud to be an American, and who believes, unlike Big Tech, that freedom of speech means just that.
