Progressive. Grumpy. Confused that so many of us (still) embrace trump's lies & corruption. Retired, loving family & friends, dogs, wilderness, solitude, reading, singing.

Not with you on this. Americans do not get away with "cheating" in elections. Volunteer as an election worker. That'll clarify things for ya.
