People are looking for a candidate that is the opposite of Trump these days and it tends to bring out extremism. In my youth, the draft, which personally affected young people the choices were clear. The Iranian war is dumb, dangerous, and antithetical to American values and morals (or should be) but it is just one example of things that are bad. The American government is being torn down internally and there is no room for any more irrationality in the Democratic Party. I'm hoping Bexar County Deputy Sheriff Johnny Garcia wins....it is a close contest.
