61. That's been an issue.

I know it has, I've seen it, too. The people still acting like that are not a part of the solution, yet. Some will never be, because they're actively disrupting the process for other reasons.

I'm trying to remove emotion from the dialogue and just bring calm facts. I'm suspicious (hopeful) this is the secret to beating the knee jerk reactions where we can just discuss things we need to discuss. Without hides here, or bickering in our lives or on other discussion places online. I'm not suggesting people won't lash out, they definitely will. We just need to be the focused ones. Calm, clean facts. We've all been collecting them now for years trying to make sense of this nightmare. Now is the time to use all that information we've amassed in our dark days.

We've all had a tumultuous two years, we're stressed, angry and deeply worried about our futures. My concern here is we're going to react due to the stress we've all been under and lash out emotionally like we saw in 2016, except even worse. Much, much worse. That would be extremely bad for all of us.

I want us to remain calm, thoughtful and bring our "A" game to 2020. We need to be studious, factual and fight the propaganda, and the raw emotions it creates, with reality.

We also need to vet our nominee like we're trying to find that one perfect avocado to serve to an esteemed guest. A bruise we can shave off is acceptable, but any flaws that run to the core of the fruit makes it unacceptable to be presented at our table.
