Purple

Some of us gonna throw red
Others are going to cast blue
We’ll have some shade of purple
Before this mess is all through

I’m a fiscal conservative
Likely a social one too
I haven’t had many options
In the past decade or two

Some of us gonna throw red
Others are going to cast blue
Donkeys and elephants going to vote
For who is in charge of the zoo

Love it, Jeff. As you know, I'm a liberal, but when I go into that voting booth, I put my X by the name of the person I believe will do the best job of representing his/her constituents. I also look for someone who is for the voter, not for him/herself, period. The party is just a label. Doesn't mean so much in the final analysis. There's good ones and bad ones on both sides of the fence!

Republican & Demarcates , I'll be honest I am tired of the bickering back and forth. One says do you want to stop crime vote "?" . My thing if one can not stop it what makes the other think they can... Like who is going to change Putin.... It is a zoo
