Yours is the first helpful response I've seen. Thank you. If I was more aware of the election cycle, I would take more care.

I'm certainly part of the un-engaged problem. I'm working on that.

What I'm learning is brutal, and doesn't make me hold any peraonal faith that the Democratic party is even a viable part of the solution. But I'll keep voting as my union representative urges me to. Until my union bails on the Democrats, I'll back them.

Your thoughtful response prompted me to edited my post above in an attempt to appeal to folks to vote against fascism, for what that's worth.
