Whatever happens in November, the average citizen will lose. Neither party is good for the country. That's why it's so important to avoid having one party hold all the branches of government. Balance is crucial.

All encompassing power is too dangerous. People cannot be exposed to ultimate power and not become corrupt. Sometimes we have to give away something to gain more. Some have become seduced by what they have been told this Administration is doing and is going to do for them. They are being blinded by the trinkets they've been promised and do not see what they are sacrificing.
Are you talking about President Donald Trump or the Democratic Party for the last 50 years? Almost everything President Trump has promised has come to pass, almost nothing the Democrats have promised has except for the increased restrictions on our freedoms and a reduction in our national will.
BTW, this administration has not told us "what it will do for us", it has told us that it won't stand in our way to be able to do for ourselves, what we think best for ourselves. Surely you don't want others telling you under penalty of law how you can cut your hair or what kind of car you can drive. You think because the Democrats allow homosexuals to marry they have granted "power to the people". Look at what they have taken away in its stead.

When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
