The Conventions

Well the political conventions are over now and it is onward to Election Day.  Did you watch any or all of the conventions?  Did they change your mind about anything?  Was there anything during the proceeding that made you proud?  Yesterday I wrote here about hope, so what about it - did anything at the conventions give you hope?  

Every four years here in the United States these big political events take place, and even a pandemic didn't stop that.  (They certainly were different this time around though).  I wonder if any of what happened this month will become a regular part of these conventions, replacing the traditional features, or if it will be back to the old ways in four years.  I really did like the way they were able to include folks from various places, instead of needing to all be gathered together inside one big hall.  You'll have to forgive me, but news junkie that I am, I watched just about all of them.

Just over two months now until the elections take place.  There will be a lot of campaigning and a lot of ads between now and then.  What do you think of all of this?  Do we have a good system or could it use a few changes?  Let us hear your thoughts.  Oh and don't forget to VOTE!
