Please vote for your candidate. If we don't show the world democracy in action, who will?
Great post. Well thought out, so I can understand how your vote is, also.
I was/am a Hillary supporter and when she was knocked out of the race I really had to put long thought into how I would vote. It wasn't an easy and clear decision like past years.
I am in India right now for work and the election is the first question that I am asked about and politics are a normal course of conversation here. It is more of a spirited debate than what I have experienced at home in Texas. There, you are either right or wrong in the choice being made. And are discounted if an opposing view is expressed.
I usually do not share my vote. It is my business, I don't even tell my husband (he can usually figure it out) but this year, I put a bumper sticker on my car. It was with trepidation and a bit of concern, though. Either candidate was bringing so much anger from people.
What I found was many, many people coming up to me in parking lots sharing with me that they too are supporting my candidate. It has been like a secret that only a unknown talkative person next you on a long airplane ride will share. They figure they will never see you again, so why not tell the inner most fear with a stranger.
I voted early, before flying to New Delhi. And, I just wonder if with all those parking lot secrets shared if Texas just might be a little less red and a little more blue.
Go Obama. I want the world to respect us/US again.
