Wasn't The Debate I Expected. And That Helped Me To See The Choice We Have In Clearer Light. [1]

I've refrained from posting so far this morning. My first response to last night's debate was disappointment in Biden's performance. So were my second and third and fourth responses. I'm a Dem. I think Biden is a decent man who wishes for all of us to have equal rights and freedoms to be. I voted for Biden in 2020 and plan to again in 2024. I just had to work through my disappointment to understand why.

Trump lied throughout The entire debate. He's a human machine gun for lies. It's not possible to fact check him in real time because by the time you finish one fact check he's told 10 more lies. He's a criminal. His wife does not show up to support him at his many criminal trials, his many campaign stops, or his debate last night. What kind of man can't earn the support of his wife? We can't trust this man to become anything other than America's nightmare if he becomes president again. You think losing Abortion as a right was a stunner? Wait till you lose contraception. Wait till your children are force fed Christianity at school every day. Wait till your very right to vote is removed because you are female, or the wrong color male, or the wrong religion.

I am essentially left a choice between a lying, evil, criminal intent on remaking America into a strict Christian version of medieval morals and a well meaning old man who wants me to succeed and enjoy America's freedoms but has obvious mental shortfalls due to his age.

Or am I? Dems seem pretty united on all of Biden's achievements and future goals. The entire party seems to back his view of America and Americans. Perhaps I vote Dem in Nov because that party provides a better path to the America I believe in. And perhaps because the lying, evil, and criminal Trump has no party to control him.

I'm voting Dem across the board in Nov. For president. For the House. For the Senate. And for any ballot initiative supported by the Democrats. I feel better in a united party that chases freedom than any mafia party run by Trump for his own personal benefit. I've worked it out. My disappointment remains. But my conviction about what America needs has been reinforced. VOTE BLUE.
