To do or not to do... OR To be or not to be... OR BOTH!?
Earlier I lost some good writing... and this is an attempt to get some back...
First --
DEMOCRACY...
As so many people vote for the least of the bad... OR they vote/don't-vote for a candidate based on Party while thinking both parties are essentially the same.
I think there have some basic differences in my lifetime. One difference I have asserted is the Democrats care about others in groups and as individuals while the Republicans care only care about individuals and each person for themselves. It may be the recent success of the Republicans is due to their addressing concerns that seem to be for groups such as males and/or whites and/or the wealthy.
There is a similarity when viewing the Democrats as caring about both individuals and diverse groups assertively. Democrats celebrate different groups and the individuals within those groups. Sort of equal concern for groups and individuals!
The groups addressed by the Republicans reach first towards individuals within groups. Be a man amongst men for example. Tolerate non-whites who behave as much as they can as whites. The goal is assimilation of the individual into the group.
AND there is ONE GROUP we are all part of in the USA and that is we are all USA Americans! Not "americans" because Latin Americans and Canadians and many others are also "americans". We in the USA are USA Americans and we have done very, very well!!!!
====================
cutting to a point:
As our political parties are viewed as being the same... and as one party - the Republicans - seems to be opposed to fascilitating voting and the fair participation of all people as they gerrymander arrogantly the time is not for ALL to vote for Demorcats for the sake of democracy. OR for the sake of democracy - vote for Democrats!
