A note to the UNDECIDED VOTER

Do you remember reading in high school history class about the beginning of our country?  When the Republicans were the Liberal ones and then the Democrats came along amidst a few new parties and eventually we settled into a two party system in which the Republicans are conservative.  Now we are involved in a similar phenomena:  Democracy has been sold and imported globally as the best game around and two-party cold war left Democrats on top, and now that democracy is arriving to the proxy parties elsewhere, our fine Democrats world over sometimes turn out to become dictators. The future of politics is global and who we elect this year sets our tone, represents us, and determines our position globally.

Does that mean we should support the solid manager who will run our country like a fine-tuned business and keep us afloat as a nation in a rising global sea?

Does that mean we should support the demonstrated leader who will run our country like a family and represent us honorably in a global arena?

Think of all the people on this planet and vote accordingly.

Don't be discouraged about how I showcase Democracy, though - and terrorism is a failed brand, too.
Something better - more inclusive, more transparent, more representative  - awaits us but we have to work together to get to it.
