Since I have already voted early.....
.....and since I do not really like politics and the fighting that goes along with it, I have now set the whole thing aside until we have truly found out what we ended up with.

Unfortunately we are going through the same kind of thing here in Canada, although maybe not as bad...yet. In fact, it seems that insanity is throughout the countries in the whole world. Or maybe with such easy access to information, or disinformation, I am noticing it more.

I was taught as a child to not discuss family business, religion or politics in public - and I still don’t! 🌹

Re: Kabu,
This election will be decided by the undecideds, and that's why I put my opinions and perspectives out there. I don't expect to change minds that are already made up, though it may be that something they hadn't considered might actually make a difference. I can't afford to give money to all the candidates but speaking up and speaking out for them, that I can do. And to me, to my kids and their kids, it matters enough to take the chance of offending the ones who don't want to hear it.

I should be like our dear Sherri but truly I have to agree with you. I just read this morning that he has encouraged his Proud boys or whoever to go to north Carolina into the mountain areas and terrorize those trying to help clean up the mess and bring supplies. The idea is to then tell his mobs that the Dems. didn't go to anyone unless they were a Democrat. Nothing to do with me but he is evil and dangerous.

Ha! I have learned not to discuss politics. Instead, I keep my political views to myself and vote privately at the polling station.
