That's what happens when one party is constantly worked into a frenzy with messages of hate and anger. Not all voters are looking to the future. Many only look back to what they foolishly believe were better times. Unfortunately they want to pick & choose from those times. We've had 8 years of a progressive president and those folks are having a hard time adjusting. To make matters even worse we've had a black president and now it looks likely we'll have a woman president. God forbid! Personally I love it, I'm a progressive/liberal/Democrat.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-27187118715886614122016-10-19T09:35:19.754-07:002016-10-19T09:35:19.754-07:00Unfortunately we will just turn the page to more u...Unfortunately we will just turn the page to more ugliness on November 8 I believe.

If all Democrats and Democrat leaning voters cast votes every two years like the Republicans we wouldn't be in this mess. Democrats tend to vote every 4 years.

A young person who had a given male name, but went by Sarah, chained herself to her bicycle and rode into a lake. My heart breaks for those who struggle with this issue. It can't be easy. <br /><br />Can't wait for this election to be over. The only thing I've enjoyed about it is watching the comedians have a field day on the late night shows.

I think the seeds for dissension after the election have been being planted for several months, so I don't think the next four years, and maybe even longer, are going to be easy no matter who's elected, unfortunately.
