Ah, gee, Lioux, thank you for the calender reminder! Pretty easy to keep track of the days of december, though, you know, with the commercialization of the birth of the son of god and the capitalist agenda.
Who cares about Decemeber 19th? I imagine any human being who has a beating heart, an active mind, practices any sort of reflective/introspective/compassionate thinking. Anyone who cares about the human condition. Echem. And folks who are aware of the finer details of our american oligarchy, I mean representative democracy. The thing is, Pres Elect Trumplethinskin wasn't elected president yet. Nope, not even that new day of infamy, November 8. The real election is November 19th, according to the United States Constitution. The electoral college process was designed, as with most things, to balance power. I am hardly a political scienctist or historian, but there is no shortage of places to learn (or jump start civics 101) about how American political systems were designed (and lots of dirty truths not highlighted in official texts). As always, you are responsible for educating yourself with factual information, being open to various opinions and perspectives and using your critical thinking skills and big beautiful heart and very wise guts to process it all and know where you stand. The National Archives and Records Administration was one place I started with to learn more.
