Yes, well, everybody wants your vote. The left, the right, and everybody in between. You need to be a bit careful about politics. It's never as it appears. It's a sales job. I've given up on subscribing to one political party (ideology) or another. Or fearing one over the other (that's precisely what they want you to do). Tribalism is the modern bane of politics. It's moderates vs. radicalism that concerns me most. And both the left and right are guilty of leaning too far into their ideology (just to spite the "other tribe"). And dragging the (gullible) electorate along with them. And politics isn't subject to the same rules of "Truth in advertising". Be keenly aware of that. I don't care what party you come from. Give me sensible, grounded ideas. Unfortunately, due to political tribalism and the increasingly radical nature of it, any *sensible* politician is unlikely to be elected. Much too boring. Well, I'll take boring any day...over some of the (crazy like a fox) extremist wackos that get all the attention these days. This isn't a football match, folks. It's your life you're voting on. Be sensible.
