133 days until the election (#4161)

     Nothing new on the cat front but I will be going to the shelter to see if they do have my cat this afternoon. They open just after noon. Anyway in the rest of life today is a big day in Kentucky where the primary is being held. The big problem there is the closing of polling stations in predominately black areas. However, because of Covid-19, absentee voting has been made available so to offset the blatant voter obstruction the citizens of Kentucky had a chance to avoid going out at all by requesting ballots either on line or in person. Let us hope that the absentee voting will well offset any long lines for disadvantaged voters.
     The obvious ploy by republicans for this election is to limit voter access to the polls. They have no message that resonates with the working middle poor class. It is unfortunate that the republican party has thrown the good of our society away in order for them to advance their own causes. This isn't a winner take all society. We serve the populace and when we stop serving the populace is when we become disposable. Thus that is what must happen in this election. No republican should see their time in public office extended beyond November and as well no new republican candidates should get a vote from any self respecting voter.
     But this election isn't just about what is damnable about the republican party. It is also about the hope of the democratic vision. When we reclaim power in November expect to see a drastic change in how our government views our society. The working middle poor class will be at the forefront of our discussions. Our planet will again become a priority. Our relations with our traditional allies will be mended and our adversaries had better retreat to whatever safe harbor they can find prior to trump. Leadership will become our nation's battle cry as we democrats resume the mantle of intelligence and humility. We are not a perfect political party but we actually do try to be. When the dust settles from this coming election a new hope for a better world will become more than a hope, it will become a reality.
