Dictatorial Decisions

 In the home stretch of the American Presidential election it becomes simple.  It is a matter of WHO votes.  Necessarily it is not for whom you vote.  The outcome of the election is determined by WHO votes.  If on the first day of early voting Trump supporters fervently swamp polling places and cast their votes, it is likely Trump will have an advantage.  If instead it was a racially diverse congregation of indigent, poor, or unemployed voters, but they made their ways to the polls and voted for Kamala Harris, she would have an advantage.  In North Carolina the General Assembly has exploited race and economic  status to manipulate the vote for the Republican Party and thus Donald Trump.  They gerrymandered voting districts in many ways making it more difficult for Democrats to vote.  Just voting, just making an effort to get to the polls and cast your vote is paramount.  It is one group against the other, and the more empowered constituency who dominates the voting process will win.  You have to fight, but unfortunately those who may vote for Kamala Harris could be the minority.  She is a black woman, and that is an unprecedented occurrence in American politics.  We have had strong, rich, talented women in power, but her name was Oprah Winfrey.  I do not feel there is anyone more capable of becoming the President of the United States considering the available field of candidates.  The bipolar metaphor of Harris versus Trump is stark and should be frightening.  Trump's last few weeks on the campaign trail have become nothing more than pep rally's, but these rallies serve a specific purpose.  They are motivating to vote.  It is momentum.  They are pep rallies, nothing more.  Surprisingly Trump has turned 180 degrees and is groveling below his chosen social status.  He has been told if he wants to win, he must appeal to the American people.  They have resorted to traditional stump methodology, and it is Grass Roots.  The problem is, it all is a lie like the rest of his campaign and policies.  It is for show, and he and his minions are hypocrites trying to collect votes.  It is pure manipulation, and tired people are likely to bite on his hook.  I think the American people know who should be the next President, but it comes down to voting.  You have to go out of your house, get to the polls, and cast your vote.  The most people that do this elect the next President.  Fortunately we have time left and an authentic voting day.  There is still time.  An aggressive team who swarms the field before play with enthusiasm won't necessarily win the game.  When you have the world's richest man pulling the strings, it becomes television.  This is with which the Trump Dynasty is familiar.  Real American life escapes them, but every American should know the results of having Trump reelected are brutal and consequential for the middle and lower classes.  All ready they took away a woman's right to have an abortion, if she doesn't want the child.  They made that decision for you.  These dictatorial decisions will continue and work against us if Trump wins.
