I vote on the day of the election and I have never, ever, not voted. I long ago decided which presidential candidate I was going to vote for and am now perusing all of the propositions, etc on my ballot. Voting is a privilege and something everyone citizen should do.La Vie Quotidiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348063467803160245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-67622445800455787402016-10-27T07:20:31.100-07:002016-10-27T07:20:31.100-07:00i'm in 100% agreement about social media and i...i'm in 100% agreement about social media and its impact on the election...very interesting times we live in for sure. but I love the way you framed this...a different way to see things that has made me feel better about this election cycle. who knew that was even possible! ;)kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-80447284517838649592016-10-27T06:31:07.668-07:002016-10-27T06:31:07.668-07:00My name is Dotti and I'm a self-professed poli...My name is Dotti and I'm a self-professed political junkie. So is my daughter. Usually in a presidential cycle, the two of us will get so nerdy about the elections that it drives people around us nuts. This year we've been too disgusted to discuss it very much at all and I've actually curtailed my intake of news. I totally agree, Linda, that 24/7 news, Facebook, Twitter and social media in general are ruining the political/public arena. All that said, I 110% agree that we should all get out and vote, whatever our political persuasion. It's shameful that the US has such a poor turnout for election days, even in presidential years. As imperfect as it is, I love my country but one of the biggest dangers we face is voter apathy, the very core of a republic, which is what the US is. To safeguard our democratic system, even with all its warts, we must vote. We don't have early voting in my state (I so wish we did!) but I'll be there on November 8th to cast my votes. I hope all of you will be, too. Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.com
