Republicans & Democrats were once able to reach across the aisle to reach compromises. Personally, I dislike both Trump and Biden, but I will have no other choice than to vote for Biden. While there been talk about launching a third party (Joe Manchin hasn't ruled it out), it would simply drain support from the Democrats. Trump should probably check our site out because he is a stark, raving sociopath!
I'm sorry to write about politics because things are so polarized now. Please don't hate me because I'm a Democrat. There are probably folks who hate me already, as I've posted regretable things in the past!

Please don't hate me for being a progressive, either. I did vote Democrat, and surely will again, but then again Progressives are forced to run as Democrats. Else, they'd never have a chance to influence.
