Sorry for the delay.

I'm 61 years old, so I'm very sympathetic to what you say. I am really not sure how I am going to survive at this point: twice last year I got laid off, along with all or nearly all the people in the two companies, and now I have no job. I've been living off my retirement savings, and have burnt through over half of them.

And, like I said, in this election anyone in a non-swing state has to vote for Biden, because Trump is so bad.

But all my life, there have been two choices in America - center-right, and far-right. And each election, both parties move further right; and each election, anyone who is at all left-wing is told, "You can't even criticize the center-right candidate, but maybe next time..."

Then if the center-right/D candidate wins, or if they lose, either way there is never a chance to push back, and then four years later, the same thing happens.

I suggested to people I knew that after the 2016 debacle, that people should occupy DNC headquarters, demanding major change. I have written volumes about the arrogance and incompetence of the DNC that led the most hated Presidential candidate of all time to defeat the second-most hated.

The abuse I got!

Unless there is a radical reform of the DNC, doom is certain for the US. And the only way that will happen is that voters take action en masse, because the DNC sure as shit ain't going to do nothing, nohow.

Very best wishes to you and good health!
