I cannot decide but my skin is thin in this game...

I do not have a vote in this game. But I have deep ties in America – we have owned a family property in the States since the early 1990’s, so state and property taxes burn every year! Heh (Oh, and if Trump starts a world war we are all fucked). So, I want to throw my hat in the ring behind a democratic contender. Still sitting on the fence at this point seems a tad blah. BUT, as an outsider who sits inside sometimes I cannot come to a definitive choice. I think part of it stems from the UK general election result, there is a message there I believe about how far you can push social democratic policies in working class areas. Also, part of it comes from who I realistically think can change key votes in key states, and part of it comes from wanting to believe in better rather than settling for the status quo. I hate to say it, but settling could be a win, more than asking small c conservative and small d democrat to go big and go hard. I don’t know. I cannot decide. I just pray that whoever you all decide to vote for can get rid of the monster currently doing his best to destroy democracy in the White House.

The candidates all have their strengths. I will leave you with something I posted in October, cause really… whoever is nominated, as long as they kick his arse… it will be grand…

I hear the wave a comin', It's blowin' 'round the bend

I hear the wave a comin'
It's blowin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen compassion
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck inside Trumps Treason
And time keeps draggin' on
But that wave keeps a-rollin'
On down to Election Day 2020 when the wave is going to kick frigging arse!

Lyrics me. Apologies to Johnny Cash.. hehe
