Todayโs America has become divided and it is disheartening. To me, our two Party system has made this possible. We elect representatives based on our Party affiliation even if the representative is not worthy of the honor we are bestowing on them.
My vision would be for all of us to ask to change our voter registration to Other. That would tell these Politicians that they serve us, we do not serve them. They would actually have to tell us what they believe in and whatโs they would do if elected instead of telling us how awful the โOther Partyโ is.
In Arizona, you can still vote in the Primaries if you donโt declare a Party affiliation. When you ask for a ballot, you can choose a Party at that time.
I never want to hear a President say they want โmy peopleโ to sit at attention like they do for another Authoritarian leader. We are not their people, they are our representatives.
