56 days left until the election (#4238)

      8 weeks now left until the election. Just 8 weeks out of the the 208 we were originally starting out with. So 200 weeks are now behind us. Historically we know a lot can happen in the final 8 weeks to change our minds on the direction of the country and the candidates that promise that direction. Yet we have had 200 weeks of knowing who trump is and since the republican convention we also know that republicans have no policies they are fighting for except those that benefit the wealthy. As a group I have little against the wealthy except that they have too much wealth. But for the republican party to dismiss we the working middle poor class as non existent is unforgivable.
     No amount of time left will resurrect any hope for trump to sway enough voters to keep him in his appointed presidency. We have all the evidence necessary to vote him out and any last minute gambit on his part will not change the years of neglect and harm he has put on our heads. So these last 8 weeks are we just marking time and for some already early voting. The die has been cast as it were and there is nothing to do about it. To many Americans trump was an unknown quantity and that plus some nefarious election interference from within and without trump was able to sneak into the presidency. That is no longer the case as we all know who he is and he has been found wanting!
     In about 11 days early voting kicks off in Minnesota and South Dakota who will join the already voting North Carolina. Then a slew of states follow immediately after. So it isn't just 8 weeks left until the election it is actually much shorter for the voting to begin. I remember how I felt going into election day in 2016 it was with some apprehension because I saw some signs that troubled me but never did I expect the weak turnout from we democrats that helped to usher in trump. I do not feel that this time. If anything I feel such a resolve from our democratic party to vote at all costs that the turnout may well be record setting. Yet time will be the arbiter and all we can do now is our best and make sure all of us can get our ballots counted.
