I should be ecstatic for a process democratic in world where the common man has very little power.

But the truth of my situation in this part of my nation means the outlook for my views winning remains quite dour.

Today I aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam a Democrat.

.A sacrificial Lamb- a small blue dot in a sea of red. Some might tell me I shouldn't have gotten out of bed, I think that someone's in my head, yet still I am voting democrat!

Today I am, working up the stream salmon like, taking up a cross wind hike. Possibly getting glared at by a red hat wearer with a name like Mike. Today I am a Demooocrat!

Of course it's not like I am losing , it's the primaries we are choosing- I'm picking those will likely lose in fall!

It's not the party I adore, but I've held my nose before, and they seem saner than the other guys.

And every little lad or lady running might be shady, and on either side they've got their pack of lies.

But in comparing bad to worse, inside this doggerel verse

there's really no competition here for me

The nation has lurched so deeply to the right that I think if he were alive Reagan would be laughed out of his own party

So I'll try nudge things left, of hope I'm not bereft, of any sort of civic minded might

into the crimson coated mob I try to do my job, that makes me long for the sex appeal of game of thrones

I will make my selection for who will lead us into election, and watch the results come in at night

And hope to hell I am not alone!

Today I am, a donkey at a packaderm watering hole

trying to sip my share

hoping I don't get stepped on

hoping someone else here cares

for the issues that matter to me, as I float blue dot in this scarlet sea

for today I democraaaaaaaaaaat!
