57. I hope you will be able to be O.K. with the rules you've laid out.
I can relate to your problem.

If they are all the same, as she says,

Does she feel the division in this country?

Clearly, Nader is against outsourcing, but

Is she aware of the debt created by this administration and
who we are in debt to?
As long as other nations like Japan, China, Saudi, whoever hold the notes on the U.S. we will have to outsource to them or else they can demand payment.

Does she have children? The decision she makes today, will affect them.

Currently on HBO is a documentary called Chernobyl Heart. Understanding the condition to the heart of children born right after the Chernobyl disaster, is part of the story. Sadly, most of these children are turned away at the hospitals. The group presenting the documentary raises funds for the surgery performed by American doctors and their teams, who are donating their services. They do show many children disfigured by mutating genes. It is painful to watch. Beyond that.....
It is a sad statement about the country formerly known as the Soviet Union.
Explaining to her the similarity we share with the former superpower, spending money we/they don't have on military build up. Going into Afghanistan and going broke. Poor leadership. Shoddy workmanship. No accountability. No respect for the people suffering. Poverty everywhere. I'm sure there are the rich, but this is a story of victims. Little to no medical care. Doctors make $100 a month. Too bad for the children, no hope.
There are differences yes. They aren't/weren't being overrun with illegal immigration. France has that problem.

If we have 4 more years of the same disastrous policies, we are not going to recognize this as the United States.
We need to have real changes. Ralph is not real. A vote for non candidate.

This is what I did with my brother. I'm sorry he doesn't see it. But between now and election day, maybe he will. He does have grown children. You are doing your best. This maybe one that you will have to let go.
