Thank you for your reply. I'm aware that PA is up for grabs and understand the tiresome choosing the lesser of two evils. It can be frustrating. But sometimes that must be done. When the greater of those two evils (Partys) intends to save you the trouble by deciding whom to choose because you will no longer have any say in who controls the nation under an autocratic government and the other at least gives you the chance to keep "choosing" to not vote. For me, the choice is clear. Democracy or authoritarianism
(Christo-fascism is in the lead).
Under a Democratic-led government, like them or not, they're not trying to take away your choice to participate.
Leave it blank if that's your choice but when Social Security retirement and Disability assistance is cut, then cut again, and again, starting with Medicare being eliminated, in this decade, then you will need to be able to afford to pay for good healthcare insurance, if you can't work or reach retirement age (which will increase as the first plank in dismantling Social Security retirements) Republicans have made no secret of their plans, yet have no plan to govern beyond "owning the libs", and you might find yourself wishing you had voted for the progressive (like the candidate or not) but by then it will be too late. With a few words changed, the quote below is applicable to America today:
"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."
- Martin Niemoeller, Berlin Lutheran pastor arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau concentration camp in 1938; the Allied forces freed him seven years later.
Thank you for your time, Glenn. Your vote or nonvote is private and for as long as you can still vote, it will be.
