DEAR SOPHIA,

IT’S THE SILLY SEASON AGAIN. TIME TO VOTE. I SAY SILLY SEASON BECAUSE OUR CHOICES ARE AGAIN OBNOXIOUS AND RIDICULOUS. THERE IS ONE PRINCIPLE TO VOTE BY: POLICY OVER PERSONALITY. BOTH PERSONALITIES ARE OBNOXIOUS. THERE IS ONE POLICY THAT MAKES ANY SENSE AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS. IT BOILS DOWN TO YOUR POCKETBOOK AND THE FAILURE OF EXISTING POLICIES. ON THE ONE HAND, THE CURRENT VICE PRESIDENT HAS CHOSEN SOMEONE AS HER VICE PRESIDENT TO BE WHO IS OLD AS HER AND WHO NEVER WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. THE OTHER CHOICE IS SOMEONE WHO WILL BE A LAME DUCK BUT AT LEAST HAS CHOSEN SOMEONE WHO IS OF A YOUNGER GENERATION AND WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. THE POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION ARE AN ABYSMAL FAILURE. THERE WILL NOT BE ANY POSITIVE CHANGE IF SHE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT AND WORSE SHE MIGHT BE THERE FOR EIGHT YEARS AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE GOING TO GET AFTER THAT. WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT, THE POLICIES MAKE MORE SENSE. HE’S ONLY THERE FOR FOUR YEARS AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET AFTER THAT. AND IF YOU WANT, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO REALLY CHANGE DIRECTION, IT CAN BE FORCED TO RECONSIDER ITS DIRECTION IN THE ELECTION OF 2028 BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.SO THE WAY TO FORCE A CHANGE IN THE POLITICAL SYSTEM IS TO FORCE A MAJOR REALIGNMENT FOR 2028. LASTLY, ABORTION IS NOT THE ISSUE ON THE BALLOT AS MUCH AS THEY WANT IT TO BE. THE REAL ISSUE IS THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE COUNTRY AND THE ECONOMIC DEBT MONSTER THAT WE ARE FACING. THE CURRENT POLICIES IN EFFECT WILL ONLY LEAD TO MORE WAR, WHICH WE CAN NEITHER AFFORD AND ARE FAR TOO DANGEROUS TODAY.

I URGE YOU TO CRITICALLY THINK OVER ALL THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING THROWN AT YOU IN SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE ELECTION IN FRONT OF US. DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO NEOCON/VULCAN MACHIAVELLIAN THINKING (AND THAT IS COMING FROM YOUR FATHER – A STAUNCH REAGAN SUPPORTER.) EVEN REAGAN ALTERED POLICIES BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME DANGER POSED BY THE NEOCONS.
