Obviously, I'm expressing frustration. I know I can only do what I can and then let go. I can't control the world, nor would I really want to. And I don't envy those who do. Even if we lost our democracy to d.t. and his minions, life would go on. It would nott be the end of the world. Not likely anyway. I'm not sure my life would even be directly impacted. But I do care about all the people who would suffer. And like most of us, I know a lot of people who would be harmed. Not to mention future generations. And I know this has been a long time in the making. I used to hear people say "Don't take democracy for granted." But I did. And that's possibly the gift donald gave us - he caused a whole lot of us to wake up and pay attention. And in reply to my last question, people see what they see for all kinds of reasons and we're all doing our best. But the self destruction is hard to watch.

I just saw John Bolton who said on MSNBC's Nicole Wallace that if trump won it would be catastrophic. She asked him who would he vote for and he said neither--that both candidates were unfit for the office and that he would do a write-in! It's Bolton who is dangerous--how can someone so influential spew about throwing votes away so that a dangerous ex would win??

He is an idiot. If he does a write-in that is like a vote for Trump. I think a lot of Republicans will do write-ins. They will be the blame for taking away our democracy. I believe Nicole was pretty upset with him after that statement!

I don't feel we have lost anything by having him do the Don Quixote thing... he wasn't going to vote for Biden. In fact, I feel Kennedy is less of a threat to Biden than most pundits project. I think the anti-vaxxers etc weren't Biden voters. let them splinter and throw away their votes.
