Americans are voting like their futures depend upon it.
It does.
Indeed it does.
I'll say.
And I think it does for every American who is not a Trump worshiper. But, it should be for them as well.
Although there are those who have been brainwashed into thinking Trump is the second coming of their Christ, one day they will find that what they have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into thinking by those who call themselves Christians, or the chosen ones, will wake up and find that they have been used by those people and made a fool of while falling for the lies they have been told all along.
I am voting on election day. Am ready to wait my turn to turn out the garbage.
I voted by mail in ballot, as I have done for over 10 years. I sign up for the ballot verification that lets me know when my ballot is received by the County Registrar, and when it has been counted. My ballot has already arrived at the Registrar and ready to be counted.
If Trump should win, there's a reason for it. Read this and weep.
We wouldn’t be in this mess had so many black voters lost interest in voting in 2016 just because Hillary didn’t excite them like Obama. Now they’ve seen and felt the damage they heavily contributed to. I hope this disastrous last four years has been learning experience for all who took that attitude last time around.
It wasn't only the black voters. Many minorities didn't turn out because of the democratic candidate.
No argument there, but the complacency from this specific demographic alone could have made a difference that outweighs complacency of other demographics. Obama supercharged this voting block and it is heartening to see him out on the attack at this moment, working hard to inspire those ballots in this time of need. Obama is clearly more appealing and inspiring to listen to than Biden. His delivery and humanity cuts across all demographics.
