Yes, Z51, and we need to convince more of them that a certain party wants to do away with their Social Security and Medicare. Maybe then they would vote for the other party.
Especially when I lived in Florida, it seemed like it was the Geritol for Lunch Bunch at the polls. You didn’t see a lot of young people standing in line to vote. Many people are beginning to catch on to early voting and avoid the long lines at the polls.
I vote an absentee ballot here in Ecuador for U.S. elections, but also I am able to vote in the Ecuadoran elections. The major difference here is the huge turnout and the ages of the voters. Many, many more young folks vote and whole families turn up at the polling places to vote. Voting is mandatory for citizens 18 – 65 and optional for those Senior Citizens. However, if you want to vote and are incapacitated or unable to reach the polling station, the poll workers will come to your home.
I served in the U.S. military, (Navy), and figured that I earned the right to vote. Unlike a bunch of people who tend to distain the military, (I served in the post-Vietnam era), and vote for the party of their parents or neighborhood, or something. I do think about who or what I’m voting for. And before someone starts calling me names. I think both parties are idiots or maybe insane. It all depends at the time which one is being more idiotic, (sometime that is hard to tell though).
If you look at the big picture, from city council chambers to school boards and up to Congress, the Rs gained in their majority in the Senate. And that’s about it. Remember those 900 or so state legislative seats the went from blue to red in the 8 years of President Obama’s tenure? More than 360 went back to blue on one night. More state houses went from red to blue than blue to red (0 went from blue to red) Say good bye to gerrymandering, or at least lay eyes on its last breaths. Governorships went from 35 – 15 to 25 – 25. Ds were hoping to pick up 25 seats in the House. They won 40 and there are more significant gains all over the country. Imagine if the elections in Georgia and Florida had been fair.

I have to admit that I felt at home at the polls since most of the workers there (those who still have hair) are just as white on top as I am.

A blue wave, or a blue light.

A blue wave? Then why do the Republicans have 3 more seats in the Senate?
