29 days left until the election (#4265)

      Yay! Ballots are coming in the mail for early voting in California! Early voting in person locations open on October 24, and October 31, in Sacramento County. Check your local zip code for where and when you can in person vote if that is your preference. If not and you are voting by mail, as soon as you get your ballot in the mail and fill it out you can then send it right back out in the mail or find a local drop box in your area to deposit it. However we do our voting here in Sacramento County, just vote. Other California Counties have their own requirements for in person, time and place voting, so check with your California County to find out what your options are, https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/county-elections-offices.
     I have no doubt that at least half of our electorate here in California will vote early in some form. At least half and likely more than I claim here. The stakes for this election are not only intense but will define the future of our working middle poor class as to social norms and economic opportunity. The future of our planet is also on the ballot as we continue to build toward the worst climate crisis in the history of our human civilization. Without a change in vision toward cohabiting with our planet in efficient and healthy ways we are steadily dooming our race to a planet that will be merciless to our existence. This is not some hyperbole to scare or frighten, the destruction of climate norms are already under way and to stop them and eventually reverse them we need new leadership throughout our nation.
     The rest of the world who are civilized and believe in our democracy are anxious about the future of our nation as well. They generally see us as the pillar of hope and equality for the world and since we have abdicated that position after the 2016 election they have been as fearful of a world collapse as we the many have been here in America. But the time for anxious and worry are over. Instead the time for casting our ballots for our new president and down ballot democrats is upon us and nothing is more satisfying and enjoyable than participating in the coming blue wave election that will soothe the hearts of the fearful and encourage the hearts of the brave.
