While I am secure in my conviction that the Democratic Party is still a too pro-corporate party for my liking, there is still a difference between the two parties that should not (as I did in 2016) be ignored. In 2016, I did not, would not, could not believe that after two years of this insanity there would still be 40% of my countrymen who support the plain-for-all-to-see disaster of the current federal government. In other words, I had far too much faith in Americans. I wrongly thought that with this large a disaster, the Peeple would finally rise up and rebel against the ruling 1% and their minions in office.
That is never going to happen in this country. Decades of underfunding our educational system and the vast number of well attended churches have taken their toll. We are, at least 40% of us anyway, an irredeemable assembly of truly outstandingly despicable people. That 40% has crushed what little hope I had left for this country and its people.
In short, the Democratic Party is still horribly flawed but it is the best that can be done with the people of the United States. More is the pity. I vow to do my best to never forget that 4 of 10 Americans are unworthy of life and turn up at the polls to vote for the least bad candidate (whom will always be the Democratic candidate).
To that end, the wife has never registered to vote in her life. But I've convinced her to register and vote this year by asking her how long she was going to allow the idiots that surround us to outweigh her voice in how she is governed. I'm not taking credit for her making the decision to register, she had the reaction I expected all non-participating citizens would have to the Trump administration. In truth, it's far more likely that Trump convinced her to finally start voting than anything I said.
