As a consistently registered independent since 1967, it is extremely disheartening to witness how we have permitted the deterioration of our government and legal system. This is, arguably, one of the lowest periods in our country’s development: deceit, lies, fraud, illegal actions, etc.
All talk show hosts and radio/ TV stations report the portion of the news that support their viewpoint and/or extrapolate a portion with their own interpretation of the balance. How often have you been subjected to “so-called” experts espousing the beliefs of a specific party ?
The two political parties are fanatical in the conviction that their philosophies are the only ones that matter. All others are deluded and, thus, the enemy. Many times, the defense/rationale is akin to 5-year-old kids fighting: He/she hit me first.
Some might feel we should vote for the “lesser of two evils.” A vote for either presidential candidate is unconscionable. If completely loyal to your party’s principles, then have at it. Should you be concerned about our country’s present and future, please contemplate writing in none of the above. Perhaps those creating the chaos and embarrassment will receive the message. Your consideration is appreciated.
