Election Eve 2020

Deep breath. I like to enact change for the overall good. I like kindness and mercy. I am about as imperfect as they come....ask my wife, kids, and coworkers they'll tell you - just don't ask or tell my grandchildren - they don't know. When Donald Trump won the Presidential Election in 2016 my wife and I had gone to bed confident that Hillary had won. I think most of the USA did....or at least those in the mid-Atlantic states did. Let's be clear - I am a life-long NJ resident. I am a registered "unafiliated" as we call it in NJ. Used to be called an Independent, but I'm guessing the two-party system figures no one wants to be unafiliated and they'd force me to choose a party. They couldn't be farther from the truth. I am not happy with either. I've never voted Repub or Dem in a Presidential race till this 2020 election. As you go forward reading - don't judge. Here are my stances - I cannot have an abortion and should not be able to decide if woman should or should not have abortions That is her choice. The baby can't make the choice and nor should you for another. A sin is a sin. Sins are equal. Lying is equivelant to murder according to the bible - research it so you learn it (if you believe in God). I am against the death penalty. I am for sharing; sharing my country, my home, my food, my money. I am for love being a driving force of my life. I am for the earth and aware that we are abusing earth's resources and causing serious damage to planet earth from our pollution. I am anti gun - I get hunting. Hunt away with your guns, keep your guns, but assault weapons and weapons that shoot multiple bullets in short times frames should not be able to be obtained by the average citizen. Our justice system which fuels our prison system needs reform. We incarcerate more people than anywhere else in the world. Why - because politicians sell you on "safety". Safety sells and you are buying. Clinton instilled the "three strike" rule which put a lot of people in prison. Police reform/defunding whatever you want to call it is just an examination and reallocation of funds to better serve the public and it can and should ALWAYS be rexamined and done. It's smart business. I say Black Lives Matter and am heartbroken by those who cannot or will not say it. I don't see a man with my best interests in mind in Donald Trump I see a man that is selling Evangelical desires to the masses and they are buying it. I see a man selling PRO LIFE to the people who have cried for it's resolve for decades. You aren't going to ever stop abortions. You may push them into the back alleys, but you are not going to stop them. You are not going to win souls to Jesus by shouting murderer to the woman who has an abortion! But when you hold her hand and don't judge her....you might. If we spent more time educating people and providing resources to people we would stop more abortions that way. Donald Trump says more lies than any public figure I've encountered yet y'all just look the other way. Donald makes fun of people incessantly, mocking them like a bully and yet his wife is working towards stopping cyber bullying....I guess she doesn't read his tweets. - Twenty Six woman have accused Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual misconduct - He has not denounced White Supremacy - He has and continues to mishandle the worldwide pandemic - He lies - He bullies So yeah, I totally get the Hillary thing. Trump winning over her. I understand. But look out your window right now - Our country is on the brink of an implosion. And who's been in charge? I forgot to mention homosexuality - It runs the same with abortion. I'm not the judge. I've got enough darkness in my own life that is between me and God that I don't want you to judge me on so therefore I am not called to judge others.
