re: #107 Nyet

Think again.

Nope. My mother never voted in her life, because her principles (think Bernie Bros or Jill Stein voters) would not permit her as a veteran to vote. She was always of the opinion that a military member or a veteran should not meddle in the civilian government, even to the point of voting.

For other elections I did not care much, even when she chided me for running for my village board seat (she really holds to military doctrine concerning civilian oversight of the military).

I would indeed have not had anything to do with her had she chosen to sit this election out. John McCain, Robert Dole, George W. Bush, those men were matters of political difference.

Trump is a Nazi.

If she chose to do nothing, I would have chosen to metaphorically thrown her under a bus.

Fortunately, my mother doesn’t want a Nazi for President. She registered to vote for her first time specifically to vote against fascism (and Mark Kirk).
