2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Count Down [View all]H2O Man
(73,536 posts)66. Very interesting.
I agree fully with your last paragraph, and that we must vote .....but I will suggest one modification: we have a year's worth of time between now and Election Day. Thus, we should be investing much of that time in voter registration and voter education.
It's curious how times change. In some places -- at least in rural, upstate New York -- I can help people register on-line to vote. Just one example is my youngest daughter; she turned 18 in June, registered, and was able to vote last week in our local elections. Thank you, internet. Now, she's active on campus, registering young Democrats, and participating in forums to educate her friends on the issues involved.
