      I agree with this one. My spouse is insane over politics. If he would just spend time with household needs, he would be much happier (and I would too). It's a distraction to avoid taking care of business in the home. My mother said my dad would have been a much happier man if he was never concerned about politics. We only get one vote and 99% of us don't have enough money to sway an election.

      Free education, Healthcare, housing and whatever gimmes government can hand out will still fail in the hands of an unmotivated poor decision-maker who takes no accountability.

      Both of my parents were children during the depression we were lead as children by their example to get out and make something of yourself and do Not depend on others to do it for you!! I wore a badge for 26 years of my life with the Air Force and then a career with my local sheriff's office, my Mom helped my wife pin on my badge, she could not have been more proud, bragging to her friends how her youngest son was a law enforcement officer and I retired as one from the same agency!!! Now some of these people blame officers for their arrest and being taken to jail. We all know how that goes, they do not accept responsibility for their actions. It was never fun to arrest and book anyone into jail!! I did not go home bragging to my family about an arrest, instead I went back to work hoping that I would not have to take anyone to jail that day much less display or use my firearm!!! My parents never complained about their lack of money, they were well Loved and did the same with us. My maternal grandfather was a fireman, my Paternal grandfather was a Corrections officer, those job present a risk to your life and that work ethic was carried down to my children.

    As a democrat, fully agree with everything Dave said. We can and will debate on ideas all day long, but it seems a lot of people have lost the ability to civil and treat each other with respect. I'm reminded of John McCain pushing back on someone insulting Obama and saying "he's a decent family man with whom I happen to disagree with on fundamental issues". We need more of that and I'm convinced that 95% of people who vote feel that way, we just end up seeing the 5% of both sides on TV all day.

      As a republican I think a lot of the problems we see boils down to personal values. Too much of people not being held accountable. That idea is the whole reason I have not liked Trump. Some republicans would say well you are a traitor or whatever. You don't have to be all or nothing you can choose whatever you want. Trump certainly should NEVER be put at risk of death or great bodily harm. Just like any politician should not be. We just live in a society that has gotten more and more divided, and less accountability. Crime right now is literally out of control. I have completely lost faith in the criminal justice system, and the idea that all people are equal. Because it's just not true when you look at what happens in the world. People in the US are supposed to be able to practice whatever religion they want, be able to own firearms, be safe, and follow the laws. When you see people like Trump who seem to play by a different rule book it makes me shake my head. I don't really care for Joe Biden's presidency as his term so far has been very underwhelming. At least Biden has some class though, and respects others. Trump has none, and only cares about himself. How people are duped by him and can't figure that out is beyond me. This election has hit an all time low for quality of candidates. I mean have we really fallen this far? Sad. My ideal candidate would be Condi Rice. She is well educated, intelligent, and has class.

    I'm sorry to see so many people praising this response. Elections are important because they affect the direction of our nation. It's not about expecting the government to make our lives perfect. If we take a self-absorbed approach to only caring about what's going on in our personal lives and ignore our nation, we may look up one day and find ourselves living in a country we don't recognize. Freedom isn't free. All Americans should be concerned about (and involved with) what's happening with governing bodies at all levels (federal, state, and local) in our nation.

Democrats use to say safe, legal, rare for abortion, now they say they will keep the baby on the table and the doctors and mother will discuss what they want to do. We now have MSM fully behind democrats saying Trump is Hitler, then ask the question if "you could go back in time to kill Hitler would you", and now saying "he missed". Yes both side are brainwashed, but one side has been brainwashed by pure evil powers, while the other is manipulated to think there are actually two different sides when the Republicans are just a speed bump.
