Dear America. Please stop. My sides are sore!!

In the entire history of democracy, there has never been a "perfect" candidate. You compromise and make choices based on what you see is the closest fit to your convictions. This is true for every democracy, no just the US.

Is our system corrupt? Yes. The demarcation point, was right about 1980, with trickle down economics. Prior to that, and while not everyone earned the same, government services, wages and price of goods, insured that the average WHITE person, lived well, and better than most countries.

There are plenty of reasonable middle ground candidates. These folks though, are not getting a lot of attention.

More than half the country is also laughing at the current situation, and most of us believe that American did not stop being great, so while we strive to make it a better place, we think that "Making America Great Again", is a misspelling of Make America White Again.

Would a middle ground have been acceptable in 1862? For example, a compromise, that would have allowed slavery to continue for another 50 years, and then gradually go away, as plantation owners converted their "properties" into cheap and indebted labor?

I don't think so. This is how fundamental I thought the 2016 election was.

What the Trump camp does not realize, is that China's rise, is not due to our negligence, it's the natural progression of things. The Chinese got themselves educated, and with 1/6th of the planet's population, it's no surprise that their technology, and manufacturing will kick our ass, within a couple of decades. This is not Obama's fault, or anyone else's fault. Are we not supposed to accept that the rest of the world, has the same dreams and aspirations?

In the meanwhile, it's imperative that we fight the Trump agenda, to dumb down country, roll back environmental protections, roll back personal freedoms, and roll back law enforcement reforms, that insured that law enforcement is a service for the people, and not a license to abuse.
