Decades of GOP gerrymandering and Reagan's failed trickle up deregulation and union busting has lead to their most vile candidate in our Nation's history. Trump is not just your standard mudslinger, but has piled on the day's of Jim Crow, McCarthyism and the demagoguery scapegoating, hyper nationalism of WW2 Germany.

He started his campaign insulting Hispanics and Latinos, called prisoners of war losers, praised the brutality of Saddam suggesting we lower ourselves to that standard. Has implied physical harm and arrest of political rivals. Has been condemned by REPUBLICAN Colin Powell on top of 50 REPUBLICAN former law agents as being dangerous to global and national stability.

And then there is the joking about sexual assault and misogyny on multiple occasions.

Trump is not a right or left issue. Trump is setting a very dangerous tone in politics that neither party should want to employ. He is undermining the concept of the western idea of peaceful transfer of power and doing so pandering to bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, and sexism.

All of this is really just the unmasking of tactics to protect corporate welfare, which was coded prior to Trump. To all those who know and accept the danger he is to western political pluralism and open societies, he MUST be defeated by the largest margin possible to send the message that scapegoating demagoguery has no place in a free civil west's politics.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Already did.  They didn't check my driver's license this time (the ID law got stuck down since the primaries) but I had to toss out an all-Republican voters' guide someone had "accidentally" left at my voting booth.

Voted (a few weeks back, as a matter of fact). Dem up and down the ballot. Of course.

I think most states allow some form of early voting.  CA is where I live and I signed up for an absentee ballot years ago.  I usually get the ballot 3 weeks prior to the election and I can take my time figuring out how I want to vote--and no lines!  In some states one can go to the polls early.  And I'm sure each state is a bit different in what they allow.  But early voting is being done more and more.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

The US elections are like The Simpsons.  It starts out okay, but it goes on forever and ever until you pray for a merciful end.

Huh, learn something new everyday.

I can vote early, tomorrow, Friday or Saturday.  I will do it tomorrow to get it over with.  Finished my research and final choices tonight.  The crush of lining up with thousands on Nov 8 ... or a few dozen tomorrow morning ... easy choice.  Some hate write-in or early ballots ... because I might change my vote at the last minute, due to last minute events (or mind fucking by the media) and regret how I voted ... bwahah

As I recall, the Simpsons started out brilliant, and then one day, I just realized I hadn't watched the show for two years.  I heard the show had deteriorated, but even though I had "mysteriously" lost interest, I refused to believe it had deteriorated.  How could that even happen?  I even refused to watch any later episodes for fear that it might confirm the unthinkable.
