Do you participate in Local Partisan Elections? It is obvious that you aren't given much of a choice if you register Democrat, even when someone throws their hat in the ring to close the primary you are limited. I understand your position but it seems we are at a stalemate. I find it a little funny that similar words are used by those who want me to vote Republican. So I guess there are commonalities in the Party's.

I've voted in every election in South Walton since 1983. I'm a life-long Democrat. I've change my affiliation twice just to be able to have some effect in the Republican Primaries in this county. It would never occur to me to not vote because I didn't like either candidate. Politics and governance is a game of slowly pulling the Titanic an inch or two to the left or right to avoid the iceberg. Sitting on my hands is not an option.

We can agree on the bold.

My feeling is many of them may truly be better able to do the job of leading the country. Many are unelectable in my opinion based on their policies. Could I vote for Biden or Klobuchar, sure. It would be easy for me to back my Union and support Biden but at this point I can't. I could say that I like Klobuchar for many reasons. My issue is that I have to know they can win or I would rather find a third party. For me it isn't always about the win, but about seeing a need for a choice. To that point, I know I will not vote for the President and as I said the one I am more than likely to vote for today may not make it out of the Primaries. As for explaining myself, I wish I could be as cut and dry as Leader, Poppa and you, but in the end it is my vote and I am not one to be bullied or shamed into something. I look at my options, I find someone I can believe, even if I don't agree with everything.

You're overthinking it.

This "Sharpie Incident", while chocked full of comedic content, is a scary reminder of just how insidious the Trump presidency is. He has managed to corrupt and instill doubt into another one of the most foundational institutions of our government, The National Hurricane Center. He has shown his blueprint for doing so. All he has to do is get leverage on one official in that department to lie for him, and he has successfully sown conflict and doubt inside that agency. He has already done it in FBI, CIA, DOJ, DOD. He now has the military doing personal errands for him and diverting huge sums of money, from Tyndall recovery funds among others, for his ego-wall, and who knows what else. The corruption is truly evil and heart-breaking.

Bob, I'm just curious. Do you consider Biden to be too progressive? Biden seems centrist to me. I think Warren's ideas of reforming the financial system are almost radical (but very, very needed). I think she would make a good president, but has some deficits in the karisma/likeability category. All the Democratic candidates seem very intelligent, thoughtful, and articulate. If you like coherent sentences, vote Blue!!

If you can't spell, vote Blue like me?? It's "charisma".

Thanks, but I don’t really care. That’s the new normal.
