Election day nears
We have an obligation
To get out and vote
People have died for this right
So be sure not to waste it

Very true. Though I wish the options were better. What does one do when they hate every choice?
-
I guess we just need to pick the lesser of the two evils and then try our hardest to hold them accountable to do the right thing. I know it’s hard.
-
The only flaw I’ve seen with that is you still have evil. Kind of like choosing between getting shot or stabbed. One might be ‘better’ than the other in your mind, but you’re still going to get hurt by the decision. Maybe we should find people who don’t want to be politicians and put them in charge.

I have actually seen that. The town I grew up in had a mayor once who was also a minister and let me tell you he only lasted one term. He was a good man, but good men and politics typically don’t mix and the person doesn’t last.

That’s kind of a shame.

Thank you my friend.
3 days and counting right? good tanka, neither one party or the other, but yes, you made the great point of….vote!
-
You are right, I really don’t care particularly for either party, both are corrupt in my opinion, but it’s tough to complain if your don’t participate in the process.
-
You are damn right about that. They say they work for the people….go figure, but I do know this is that the people if they are educated in the issues and involved can have a saying on how they want or will like the country to go in this or that diraction. Democracy, different ways of thinking so as in everything i life you compromise, respecting each other with different ideas, but you have to be a participant.
-
You are absolutely right, it is all about education and participation, but too many people don’t take the time to learn about the issues and make informed decisions. Those that do learn about the issues then many times don’t even attempt to hold their elected officials accountable. Thank you Charly for the great comment, I really appreciate it.

I appreciate reading you. Not kidding i´m new to this thing so it´s great for me to read people that know how to write.
And yes, about the subject mater i agree completely.
-
Thanks Charly that is really nice of you to say. I love your writing as well, you tackle some serious topics with an element of humor which is something I’m not very good at. Keep doing what you are doing.

And not to sound to redundant but thanks again Don.
