A good read. I reflected on a bunch of stuff as I read. I live in daily dread and know that I will have a strong, viseral reaction if Harris doesn't win - wondering about my expat status. Please let decency and democracy prevail!
Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Ian. I feel similarly. The point of this piece was really to show that in normal politics, there would be room to support either of these candidates on policy. When I look at what I consider the problems we face, I'm not happy with the "solutions" of either candidate. But this election, that just seems like distraction. Truth, decency, and integrity must win this election!

Thanks for sharing your insights, Linda. I struggle with understanding the basis of our current polarization, and your analysis is food for thought.
Thank you, Gary. We all participate in discussion to move our country forward. I think thoughtfulness is helpful. I hope this is that.
