Voter turnout! (#3865)

     The messaging from both political parties has been narrated. The democrats want a fair just democratic society while republicans want an unfair dirty authoritarian society. Can it be any more simple to understand? So now all of those who are of voting age can easily decide what future we want. There is no mystery or complexity here just the basic choice between being a democratic society or being an authoritarian society. That we are even in a position to choose between the two is unfathomable to me. Our American democracy was and still could be thing of beauty for the whole world to admire and copy or we could shrink from that and become no better than the other cruel third world countries who make life arduous and lethal for their own citizens.
     Again I am amazed that we have to choose between these two polar opposite dynamics since we should never have had to change from our original design of being champions of equality, fairness and justice. Yet here we are as a wounded nation out of touch with our souls and trying like hell to find our way back from this brink. So all it will take is about 10 minutes of every souls life to look at both parties and see which one we want to be part of. That is all it will take to see the difference. Then the other part of that 10 minute learning lesson is to vote. Yes, vote! The time is coming upon us very soon this coming month of September in North Carolina. Then followed by several state elections in November.
     Then when we get to 2020, the primary elections for each party get underway and the whole year of 2020 will give us many opportunities to vote for the final general election candidates. No one who is registered to vote will have a valid excuse not to vote. Well at least no excuse not to try to vote. Everyone of us needs to be prepared to do whatever it takes to cast our ballots on or before November 3rd, 2020. If ever there were a doubt as to the necessity of voting just remember that trump was appointed to the presidency with his ability to manipulate the electoral college and minimal voting by our citizenry. The only way to eliminate the need for the electoral college is for everyone to vote so that there is no doubt as to the popular vote getter actually being our champion.
