Being a woman of a "certain age" my past voting experience has been to vote on issues. I have always considered myself an Independent. I don't align with a particular party ideology. (With the exception of human rights issues). It's getting harder and harder as we've become more and more divided as a country.
The Republican and Democrat parties are both awful! Years ago there was at least the pretense of "reaching across the aisle" or working together. What's happening in Washington now is a disgrace, by both parties IMO. The ugly partisanship came to a head (no pun intened!) during Clinton's term. How did we get to here and what are your thoughts for our future as a country and for the 2 party system? Discuss...
(Oh, and lets not turn this into more Trump bashing. Not that it's not deserved, but we have enought threads on that!)
