When considering your vote this November…

One candidate is pro public education. The other wants to do away with it.

One supports the police. The other is a convicted felon (34 counts) who wants to free fellow convicts who beat up and killed police Jan 6.

One is pro choice (Let a woman decide what is done to her body). The other wants the government to decide for her.

One is proud of her accomplishments in life. The other says women need not be fearful anymore. He will be their “protector.”

One wants to pass a bipartisan bill to work on the border problem. The other ran on a promise of a wall built and paid for by “Mexico” (four years — never happened) opposes the bipartisan plan to deal with the border.

One believes in the sanctity of the office of presidency. The other uses it for personal gain, hocking everything from Bibles to sneakers to watches, all for personal gain.

One does not trust Russia or their allies, the other fawns all over Putin and says he believes him over our U.S intelligence.

One believes in a strong America. Working together we have a bright future. The other believes we are in decline and uses fear and lies to motivate. (Pets getting served for supper, FEMA not helping hurricane victims)

One is pro union/stands with labor — pro working class. The other hates unions. “Would rather fire someone than pay over time.”

One believes love is love. The other has strict rules and guidelines on marriage — family definition.

One supports strong family values. The other cheated on all of his many wives, demeans women, lied about/convicted of prostitution use.

One puts country first over party. The other puts himself first for everything.

One believes in science. The other says he knows more than all of the scientists.

One supports the military. The other is a draft dodger who calls military service, John McCain and others, suckers and losers.

One opposes hate groups. The other is supported by most all of them.

How do you measure a leader? One believes it is by who they lift up. The other believes by who you beat down.

One wants to debate for all of the U.S. to see. The other lies so much he is fearful of “fact checking.”

Ever notice the other is always the “victim.”

Don’t fall for the fear from the con man.

Vote for democracy, vote blue.
