I was walking through the city when I saw this written in chalk across the sidewalk:
“We are more creative than a two party system.”
No signature. No hashtags. Just facts.
That line hit me instantly. Not because it was wild or aggressive—but because it was obvious. It was something I already felt but hadn’t put into words. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to stop and take a photo. It felt like a piece of street art that didn’t need a mural or gallery to mean something.
“We are more creative than a two party system.”
What that reminded me is that our politics don’t always show up in voting booths. Sometimes they show up in music, in streetwear, in protest signs, or the way we write on the pavement. Sometimes they show up in how we survive.
You can’t package up people’s struggle, identity, and creativity into just Democrat or Republican. That’s a lazy view of the world.
