@charlottecolley6966 I used to be a ney voter person. Always thought like many, that 1 vote wouldn't make the difference. I first voted for Barack, because I finally saw the possibility of real change. My wife is a Dem and our ideals are very much the same, so I signed up as a Democrat. Then I got a bit jaded because thru his 8 years, I didn't see any change much for us lower income folk. I'm a lifelong Floridian and a carpenter. Obamacare didn't really help us in our income bracket, we still couldn't afford insurance. So we'd still be going to low grade medical facilities. And seeing that he wasn't really able to get signed very many bills to help low income people, thanks to McConnell and his hate for anything with a Dem plan stamped on it. I switched to an independent. Seems both sides are the same when it comes to being greedy. Both want everything their own way. Only in the middle, working together would be a true democracy. But extreme members of both sides want what they want, rather than compromise. But now, with Trumpublicans , it's even worse.
I'm glad you are so well informed as to candidates. But I'll tell you, the kind of people running for office, the choice is almost made for you.
Personally we both voted for Hillary, and though I was trying to be positive, I think I thought down insde she may not win. I thought she'd kinda have the aid of Bill's popularity. But with all the propaganda against her it didn't happen. And as usual, Republicans worked the States with the most electoral college votes. Maybe we'll come thru the mid terms at least keeping what we have. Then Biden will have a chance to get his agenda fulfilled. We have to keep trump out of the white house. As well as Desantrump. Keep the faith Charlotte. Even in a red state, as long as Dems keep Congress and the white house, the trickle down will be positive.

@RealJackHQ I read a little of his proposal and laughed right away. The Republicans would have never, gone for it. Personally, I believe it was the Republicans that did, just what McConnell promised. Stand in the way of every decent proposal Obama brought to the table. The article I read went into great detail of the plan. And at every turn all i could hear was the right throwing up socialism in our faces.
I believe Obama had...a good plan back then. But just as now, the Republicans block or deny or start their socialism speak and block it. I believe I remember Obama apologizing for several points of his plan. High co-pays and deductibles. Everyone I spoke to said the same thing. Some points are very good but certain things still put it out of my reach. I remember. I'm a carpenter and my pay never allotted us the privilege of health insurance. I'm a vet, so I had the VA. But we paid out of pocket for everything my wife and our kids needed. Thankfully we were blessed with healthy kids. Same with my wife. Glasses doc visits, out of pocket. And I've been with people who have health care insurance through their company, and still they end up going to clinic style assembly line doctor's. Only people working for really good paying companies have good almost private doc visits. Even VA is like warehouse medical treatment.
I figure socialized systems are the same. 20 people to an hours call time. My mom had Obamacare. She needed to see a specialist, a neurologist. And had to wait two months, for an appointment. Because it wasn't deemed, an emergency. The good ole days of seeing your home practitioner , are gone. Unless you're rich and money is no object.
You're right. Medical service, is a right. Or should be. Not a, for profit, big lucrative business.

@hollycosta7394 Yes I totally understand and if,,,a certain type of offender gets released, they should be told certain things that they are allowed and not allowed to do.
But! According to laws and the constitution maybe, the time in prison, jail, hospital, is supposed to be their payment for their crime. Now child molesters go through continued checks, restrictions etc. Maybe they can vote, maybe not. Like I said, doing their time is supposed to be their punishment and payment to society.
I don't know where you draw the line on crimes that should omit the allowance of voting, but what do you think about ex presidents being charged with treason, derillition of duty, inciting an insurrection , amongst half a dozen other crimes? Do you think they should be allowed to vote? Them and their friends did unforgivable crimes too. But I'll bet Desantrump is fine with them... voting again.
Face it. Desantrump doesn't care about other people. Especially kids. And those parents that fought masks in school, and other prevention tools designed to keep their kids as safe from illness as possible, are full of crap too. THEY, have their agenda. And use their kids as an excuse for driving them. 80% of Americans were okay with abortion being the woman's right. Not the government or religious groups. But who did Desantrump give his backing too? Whomever will help him get his sorry ass into the white house.
But you are right. Certain crimes do need more scrutiny than others.
