Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Beth, what an awesome loop poem entry for the contest. I agree with you 100%. I'm voting for kamala harris as soon as I get my ballot. I always vote by mail and call to make sure my vote was counted.
I can't imagine Trump in the white house again, it would be 10 times worse because he has complete immunity. He wants to be a dictator and I know he would.
I grew up in Spain during dictator Francisco Franco. Dictators control everything for life, there is no voting or elections. It's a nightmare. That's why I moved to America when I was 16 years old and became an American citizen at 20. I'm proud to be an American. We have the best country in the world and best democracy, if we can keep it.
I like how neutral you wrote it but enough information to know who you are writing about. Well done! Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Gypsy, I appreciate you sharing with me you experience growing in Spain and what it means to you to be an American. We lucky to have people like you here. It seems we're on the same page when it comes to Trump. I appreciate the six stars.

Comment from Wendy G
An excellent Loop poem, both insightful and wise, and it would be good if this piece of poetry was very widely read and considered. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you Rhonda. The repetition was required for a loop poem. I'm not fond of them but I did the best I could with the format.

Comment from jim vecchio
I read this while NewsMax TV was on my TV. They just did a story where, in Vermont, a Republican politician got into trouble for habitually pouring water into her Democratic rival's bag. And these are people governing us!

Thank you, Jim. It is sad that some believe the best way to get their self in office is to pit people against each other and seek to divide us. I can't have a calm discussion with some members in my own family.

Last night was the debate. I expected exactly what I saw. One side says not to call names and then continued to call names while the narrators gang up against the candidate alongside her. Hardly a debate.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
I love your last line.
Indeed, we hope to vote for a winner, a person who represents the best in us who can work for all of us.
A wrong vote might very likely be a vote for many of the people to loose.
Well done.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Rachelle Allen
No matter who wins this time, we ALL lose. There is, sadly, no good candidate. Your loop poetry, though, IS a winner. Usually I cannot finish reading a loop poem; they're usually contrived and excruciating. Yours, though, was neither, and I enjoyed it very much. xoxo Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Rachelle. I was hoping people would focus on the loop poem rather that the contents because there are so many conflicting opinions. I appreciate that you did that. Most loop poem irritate me tool
Comment from Begin Again
Great job, Beth. Too bad that most won't listen to it and they will just believe whatever someone else is telling them to believe. I even can't understand how someof my family are standing up for one candidate or another ...it amazes me! Doesn't any one listen to all the lies?
Smiles and hugs, Carol

We all need to be very careful when we vote and we all need to be voting our values when we go to the polls. If we don't stand for something, we're abs absolutely prone to fall for anything the voters in this country I think are very uninformed and needs to be, educated. Patricia.
