Today reports of loyalty of Jews to the United States was questioned by the President and really the question was about loyalty to That Man... That BOSS... This issue of loyalty arose early in his life and his presidency and was likened to the loyalty oaths of Crime Bosses... Go figure?
Today we have surveys before and after people vote ... asking them who they will vote for and who they have voted for so when the official results come in it is possible to understand something about the voters and the candidates and the issues. In fact the official results are all that are necessary and all that we had for the early years of our democracy and now the additional information seems to be coincident with lower and lower voter turnout. Hmmm???
HOWEVER, to my point - the official results are what matter MOST and the voting we do is a SECRET BALLOT. In this day of privacy issues the secret ballot is important for us to preserve and we should all vote officially while especially not responding to exit polls. Once we have decided and voted ... so be it!
To me it is a no-brainer as to who I will vote for... ANYONE except Donald Trump. The reasons against him in my mind are many and while I have seen some people shrug off this or that because they agree with some narrow, specific issue - if we ignore morality and honesty and truth and justice... then really we are ignoring The American Way. Yes -- that sounds like Superman's motto and he is fictional and not real AND YET ... he was good and meant to be good and tried to be good and that was, is, and may again be: The American Way.
Back to The Secret Ballot --- no one is required to reveal who they voted for and why. We all are entitled to our privacy and personal thoughts. I simply hope - people will be thoughtful and look at the bigger picture then small, special, narrow interests. We CAN BE CONQUERED if we are DIVIDED.
I have thoughts to share in future about The Middle and about BRAVERY... and I think it is time to bravely find and strengthen and hold The Middle.
