Next Election

Storming castles aside, hopefully the next United State election has more meaning. I want the ability to say or ask, "I wonder which one is best for our situation. Who can I vote for". As an independent voter, America does not need to be first (inventions, space, immunizations), but America can be the main focal point for our government.

I wish we could join both main parties along with some other third parties. Progression can be a topic for debate, with security, finances and good morals. Society can do its part also, outside voting. Don't always rely on every other entity.

Essentially, the whole part of being proud of your country is because of what that country stands for, what it has done for you and others and then what it has done for the world; inclusive rather than exclusive, y'know?

Definitely. Level every topic to average and worry about what needs to be worried about with also having an ounce of prevention.@SammyJo

@SammyJo Quite true. But the values that drive today and Tomorrow need to be protected and kept safe. Things change. The Republicans were the anti Slavery party of Lincoln, back in the day.. Thats not a comment on politics, so much as a note on change..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I believe that I have read conflicting reports on Abe Lincoln and the whole Anti-Slavery movement; effectively he changed his views due to populist votes I seem to recall....

@openwater In the UK we have the two main parties - The Conservatives and Labour. I have more swung one way the the other but have also looked - and voted - for other parties, such as the Liberal Party and the Green Party.

Not all parties 'fit' the voter 100% - you go with the party which you feel fits the best on the topics that are dear to you....
