Everyone has been telling each other how important it is that they go out and vote&#8230; though I&#8217;m reasonably sure many of them wouldn&#8217;t actually want me to, because I&#8217;m not going to vote for who they would want me to vote for&#8230; I hope that everyone I disagree with politically decides to stay home.

Kudos to us.<\/p>\n<p>But really most people don&#8217;t know anything about anything, and vote based on subjects they know nothing or next to nothing about, and so we end up with bad policies.

With nary a break at all, we&#8217;re going to launch right into the 2020 Presidential campaign. Now, to be sure, there will be some bright moments on the way to 2020&#8230; any Democratic party primary debates are sure to be a hoot. But, by and large, we&#8217;re just going to continue along with all the insanity of the last&#8230; I&#8217;ll say 3 years. Remember when there used to be breaks from political strife? What happened to that?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, none of this is very eloquent, but I just felt like I should comment on it.<\/p>\n<p>Now you get out there and you vote in the people that will save us all from imminent destruction.
