The way the people govern - the way we practice our Collective Sovereignty is our attention to all that good and bad stuff - the vicissitudes (haha) that we then psychologically 'formulate' into that choice. Voting is the effect. America's political status quo is perpetual Revolution ~ always forming a more perfect union.

or sliding backwards. Freeing the slaves, then reconstruction - Obama, then Trump. Two steps forward, one step back - like a pendulum.

Many of us are hoping she wins. It’s part of what we perceive as best for all of us. However, it’s up for grabs. You will find that more and more of your time can get taken to respond to this community. However, a variety of very interesting poets inhabit the space. So… welcome and smiles. Enjoy every day!

Every vote counts, either way. America is cool that way. Thanks for participating in freedom, AV. :o))

Those annoying invitations to rally's and pan-handling for Maga hats. This should've ended, as for me I'm still advocating for my party until the very end...Woman President! Good one Anais

The most clinical and truthful observation I have seen on the election Dr Vionet. You’ve done your bit, (the end) whatever happens now happens, cheers David

Exactly, Dear David - though those who fail to understand the system will never accept that their votes are not the only ones that count.
