Thanks. Fingers crossed.

The slide into cult of personality fascism versus status quo neoliberalism
are our choices. I begrudgingly opt for the latter. Did the same with the senator from MBNA who was instrumental in the superpredator crime bill and
the bankruptcy bill.

I already voted, but my vote doesn't count in Arkansas because of the electoral college.  Arkansas is an all or nothing state that takes away
the vote of the minority, and the majority of voters are fruity enough
to elect a governor that thinks Trump was picked by Jesus.

Note that, even in those places where one's vote will not count, their
*lack* of vote will. Politicians pay attention to who votes, and if they
see a particular demographic not voting, they know that they do not need
to do *anything* to help them in any way.
