2020: Inflection Point for Both Parties
I voted today, two weeks before Election Day. I felt comfortable mailing in my ballot, but ended up dropping it off in a convenient secure ballot box. I can now (hopefully) tune out the incessant stream of political ads online and on TV. While I was very happy to vote...
Great Irony That Trump Has COVID-19
