It’s election day in the United States and its implications are huge. Races on every level will be on the ballot. Not to put it lightly we are voting for democracy, real individual rights and continuing to move the country forward. I’m voting today for those who want bodily autonomy, the freedom to love who they choose and to help those less fortunate. If you are registered get to your polling station and make your voice heard. It’s easy. Do it early today and get it done.
Empathy fuels democracy.
U.S. President Joe Biden
Democracy means filling out a ballot.
Today is election day in Tennessee where local and state races are on the ballot. Voting is a right and a duty that I take seriously.
Here in Hamilton County, Tennessee we are electing a new mayor, district attorney and sheriff. Let’s hope for the best that there will be fair minded people who will serve and lead our community.
We’ve become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that’s been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I’ve ever seen in my life.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
