While I have definite opinions on how many of the U.S. elections should come out, I’m not going to get into them here. But I am going to plead with my readers in the U.S.: if you haven’t already done so, please make sure you vote today (if your state has early voting) or tomorrow. We all tend to gritch about what our elected officials do, but if we don’t vote, we lose that right.
Perhaps you feel as though the two major presidential party candidates don’t represent your views, so you’re thinking of staying home. Please don’t. There are at least two minor party candidates who might be worthy of your vote. Even if you aren’t going to vote in the national election, there are countless local elections and ballot questions that will have an impact on your community. At least go vote in those races. Many of them are decided by a few votes.
We all claim to hold democracy as a sacred ideal, but we often do not act that way. This year can be the year to start walking the walk and not just talking the talk.
GO VOTE! If you don’t, your wine will go bad, your refrigerator will die, and your tastebuds will stop working. 
Seriously, just VOTE!
