10 days left until the election (#4284)

      The last block of 10 days are here. As well is the writing on the wall that trump is behind by all indicators. There is no indicator that he is ahead except his talking heads claiming so. Without proof I will add. However, nothing is taken for granted given the unbelievability of the 2016 outcome. So there will be no crowing nor arrogant pompousness from our democratic party! This thing has 10 days to go and if we all vote then we have done everything we need to have success. So let us continue to make the case for all of us voting without trying to be predictors of the present future.
     That time for beaming with delight should it happen is after this block of 10 days has passed, not before! 55 million of us have already early voted because we can and because of Covid-19. Yet the high turnout is emblematic of our desire to get our votes recorded as quickly as possible. For myriad reasons we are voting in mass and for the sake of democracy we are vibrant. A tell if you will about the passion on both sides for our candidates. Yet, this is more than about our candidates, this election is about who we are and who we want to be. It isn't easy even with the early voting the obstacles that have been placed in front of us are still working their ill to prevent voting for all. So it is especially significant that the many of us are turning out to vote.
     This vote this time is about so many things that will either remain broken and continue to become broken or it is about fixing our brokenness and improving on those things that are near broken. The stark difference is obvious and those who wish to remain in the broken America are voting for trump and all his like minded accomplices. Those who want the broken fixed are voting for Joe Biden and a new crop of leaders who feel like Joe. I will not predict what my fellow American citizens will do after having spent 4 years under the likes of trump but I know what I did in my vote and the votes around me in this domicile. We are not ready to give trump and his cronies anything more and the manifest destiny of our nation will be well placed if we are correct.
