You are right. So to me the answer is, after being shamed into silence for years now, it is time to be ready to "confront" --- and, in the next month. Because early voting starts very soon.

Obviously the words "freedom" and "opportunity" won the focus groups' Words Beauty Contest after Pres. Joey was relieved of duty. I plan on getting ready to a) tell everybody I can run into to get registered and to go vote early, while also b) Arming myself with about five talking points on key issues, with back-up info sources if these people don't believe me.

Sure, that's not many votes, but those people know more people, and on and on. And I believe so many people don't have a clue as to what is going on with the federal government. Maybe like in the entertaining film "Independence Day," we can introduce a truth virus into the Mother Ship and take it down.

BTW, I thought RFK Jr.'s withdrawal address yesterday was melancholy meets nostalgia --- at least that is how it affected me. I was in high school when his father was murdered and remember it vividly to this day. He articulated yesterday why I was a Dem, but it was not because my parents were. And he perfectly articulated why I can't be a Dem anymore. Both parties have changed.
