I do not think we are in
desperate times, calling for
desperate measures,
but I do see some peril,
creeping ever so sickly
over the Horizon.
There’s a grotesquerie that has
slithered across the heart
and soul of this Republic,
churning up the fear and division,
and that sickly and threatening
creep is Donald Trump.
It is not clear to me at all
what his appeal is to people;
he is not a strong leader,
he is not decisive or clear-minded,
he is neither charming nor decent,
he is a narcissist with an addiction
to perceived power.
He has never said the words,
“I’m sorry,”. Ever. He doesn’t believe
he’s ever done anything wrong in his
entire life. He thinks compassion, empathy and
civility is a weakness. He is incapable
of learning any lessons, because he
believes that he is always right.
And he’ll never, ever say he’s sorry.
Or that he learned something new.
He doesn’t like you,
he wouldn’t sit next to you at a Diner,
he is grossed out by the people of
this Country, but begs and pleads
for your money like a pimp in a
church courtyard. Feigning
religion,
while contemptuously sinning for profit.
He has no policies to help you,
to enrich your lives in any way,
only himself and his mega-rich
associates (let’s face it I don’t think
he’s ever had a real friend.) And
wouldn’t give you a second notice if
he saw you bleeding on the street.
Unless it was for a real estate deal.
He is mentally and socially incapable
of helping anyone but himself or his
own egomaniacal projection of who he thinks he is.
He is no Messiah.
He is no savior.
He is a misogynistic con man in bad suits.
Selling snake oil from a wagon to the
gullible and infirm.
He will not help you or your
kitchen table concerns,
He’d sell your kitchen table
right from under you if he
thought he could make a profit
from it.
His appeal is a mystery to me.
That being said; I am a liberal,
a Democrat, and have
been since
I have had the privilege of
voting for who I believe
has my best interests at heart.
I have a bias towards the Democratic
Party because I believe in their intentions
of unity, equality and intelligent compassion.
So excuse my clear and unedited endorsement of them.
Right now,
the people who have my
best interests at heart are
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,
and I fully endorse them
for President and Vice President
of the United States of America.
There’s virtue in their desire
to be a Civil Servant, to be a
voice for the voiceless in this
representational republic.
Kamala and Tim consider it an honor
to serve the People.
They understand the duty and
personal sacrifice that it takes
to be an elected official
and it is those traits that I respect
and fully endorse.
There’s sincere compassion they both
exude for the people they want to represent.
And to me, that is the best qualification
for leading this nation.
Empathy, understanding, and a
commitment to the betterment of
us all, regardless of background, are
the pillars of strong leadership.
When the least of us,
has the same opportunity as the
best of us, the same potential as
the most privileged, and a drive to
achieve and an opportunity to do so;
reflected in our elected officials
then we all do better.
So in 20 days, if you haven’t already,
vote your conscience, vote for the future
of this nation, a nation of integrity, decency,
equality, liberty and the rule of law.
Please resist the temptation
to vote for the boisterous braggart who would seriously
be the villain in a Bond movie,
or any political thriller.
Do better for us all.
Do better for the future.
Vote Blue to protect
the values of our Democratic Republic.
