Leaning Towards Common Sense

Thank you, Mr Dieken for warning people of my leanings, but you are not quite accurate. It gives me a chance to point out a few things. What does it matter how I lean? I definitely do not lean towards belonging to a political party, which I will never do again, simply because it keeps people from utilizing all of their brain. An example of this is the following. Voting is the cornerstone of Democracy. Information, due to a lawsuit, came out before the election that Oregon has the dirtiest voter rolls in the nation. For putting out this information I was called a “threat to Democracy”.
Can you explain this? Are there any Democrats in this area of Oregon who want to follow up on this, and assure those of us who care about democracy will get accurate voter rolls in Oregon? I doubt it!

People who belong to a political party lock their brains into a box and cannot think outside the box. I feel our country is on the brink of imploding
because of corruption. Corruption happens to all governments over time. My beautiful country, with the best constitution of all, is extraordinarily corrupt, and the state of Oregon is also, simply because it has been under one party control for a long time. It doesn’t matter what party it is. Majority party rule over time leads to corruption

I have been a Democrat most of my life and most all of my kids and grandkids are Democrats. I have been registered lately as a Republican, a Democrat, and an Independent so I can vote in the primary election for persons running on both sides of the aisle that I would like to see In our state legislature.

I would like to see our election process change, so that in the primary a person could vote for all who are running in their area. This would include all independents, all democrats and all republicans listed on one ballot. Then I wouldn’t have to change my party identity. I almost voted for rank choice voting but didn’t. I think there is a better way. In closing I would like to say I lean toward common sense, and I don’t see much of that in the current Democratic Party.
