(#5014) 2 weeks from today folks is our destiny

      The time is almost upon us and if there is any doubt about what the outcomes will be then surely you are not paying attention. The republican party wants to tear apart our democracy while the democratic party wants to strengthen it. That is it in a nutshell. There is no ambiguity here! So you have to ask yourself what is it you want from your vote? Do you want to give up 235 years of living under our constitution with it's freedoms and liberty, or do you want to keep it and make it more modern to fit with our evolving society? If you want to let it go then join the ranks of republican voters who cherish a more dictatorial form of government like the one putin and xi are forcing on their nations.
     If you want to keep our constitution and work to improve it where it is outdated then vote with democrats and lots of independents. The choice isn't difficult to understand if you are at all paying even a little attention. There is no embellishment here at all. The republican candidates have made clear that they are not going to keep democracy as a ruling function of our constitution. They will eliminate the need for us to vote so as to keep power for themselves. The democratic candidates are also clear in their message. They want all of us to vote so as to give the people the authority to decide the fate of the people, which makes sense correct? We democrats are not greedy about keeping power for ourselves, all we want is for all of us to keep power.
     So in 14 days we will find out. Hopefully all of us who are eligible to vote will actually vote so we can have a crystal clear idea about the direction for all of us toward the future. When only some of us vote we don't get a good indicator of how we want our society to operate. Now is the time for all to vote who are eligible so that we can say without a doubt a true signal loud and clear has been sent. The mandate coming from this election will carry over for many years to come so the importance of this years election and the one in 2024 will cement whether we remain a democracy or are transformed into an autocracy where one or a few decide the fate for all of us. These are not the wisest nor most honest of people who are trying to rule our lives in the republican party so don't think for a minute that they have the best of intentions for what comes next.
