unless it is via some other method other than the voter - judicial system or voter suppression.

I am not attracted to anything about the GOP platform. However, I am finding very little differences in the Democratic platforms other than pandering to minority votes. The US foreign policy is terrible and I feel on a path that will lead us to terrible consequences. The left these days has moved so far to the right that it is almost indistinguishable from the GOP.

It will be a long and winding road before we see any difference and I doubt I will experience it in my lifetime. That's OK - I'm 63 and most of my adult life has been a political downward spiral and I've lowered my expectation.... I'm used to it.

I heard someone say today that "Apathy" is our biggest problem these days. The youth not interested in present day affairs. Maybe that is not so bad. It sure beats what my generation (baby boomers) have contributed.

Peace
