I guess when the man in the white house is a racist, it enables these people. This president has dumbed down so many areas of our country it's hard to keep up. I've never seen the power of fear used in an election like it is now. I really dread 2020.

I’m going to do something I haven’t done since the very first time I voted: I’m voting straight party ticket for Dems. I’m doing it for only one reason: Trump. Every Republican running (probably everywhere, but I know in Alabama) supports Trump. I will not give my vote - or anything except derision- to anyone who supports that evil, puerile sociopath. Period.
As for the other items on the ballot, I honestly haven’t examined them closely, so I’m not sure how I’ll be voting on them yet.

WICHITA, KAN.
Access to the ballot box in November will be more difficult for some people in Dodge City, where Hispanics now make up 60 percent of its population and have remade an iconic Wild West town that once was the destination of cowboys and buffalo hunters who frequented the Long Branch Saloon.

...

But the city located 160 miles (257 kilometers) west of Wichita has only one polling site for its 27,000 residents. Since 2002, the lone site was at the civic center just blocks from the local country club — in the wealthy, white part of town. For this November’s election, local officials have moved it outside the city limits to a facility more than a mile from the nearest bus stop, citing road construction that blocked the previous site.

I have never done that since I started voting. But I will also be doing the same thing. Unless there is a complete and total shakeup of the Republican party they have pretty much lost my votes for life. It'll be Independent or Democrat. They aren't fit to govern and their ideas and actions are anathema to any form of functioning Democracy or free society.

I have a family member running for State Representative as a Republican. It caused me to think about the question of whether or not I would vote for someone based on a personal relationship. I came down on the side of not believing that he is intellectually capable of understanding Republican objectives to subvert the principal of one man one vote and other of the basic principals of our Constitution. For some years I have voted Democratic and this time will refuse to cast a vote for any Republican.

Americans' anger may help Democrats in Nov. 6 vote: Reuters/Ipsos poll

Here is an excerpt from the article that I found disturbing. The rabid screaming from the extremes of both sides is annoying.

‘CIVIL WAR’In Arizona and other states with competitive races, voters interviewed by Reuters bemoaned rampant partisan anger. Many said it makes them more eager to vote.Tim Leatherby, 57, a former Marine, said he was concerned the country was plunging toward a “civil war.”“I did my time in the fight and I don’t want to fight again here,” said Leatherby, who said he would vote for Republican Martha McSally in Arizona’s Senate race, one of the key battles that will decide control of that chamber.

I agree. But to be fair, Obama missed a golden opportunity in my opinion. I agreed with him on some positions, not so much on others, but one thing I was hopeful for was that he could bring us together. When he won in '08, even some of my most die hard republican friends thought he was going to be good for race relations.

Then the Trayvon, Michael Brown, Henry Gates, etc. cases came along and the narrative turned into Obama vs. the white judicial system. And whether by word or inaction, Obama did nothing to try and change the narrative.
