And also passing a bill that will take one trillion dollars away from Medicaid and line the pockets of the superrich.

If Iā€™m being honest, I donā€™t believe in government welfare and believe in a private social security that is optional. But I know your democratic, so I see where youā€™re coming from, and I would agree that he has done it too quickly. Itā€™s just the debt that has me worried.

Yes, that same bill will add three trillion to the debt.

I agree completely, and that part had me opposing the bill.

The political climate is so volatile Iā€™ve become afraid to share my opinion and even to vote. Iā€™m very afraid of backlash against my family and myself.

Remember that no one can see what you do in the voting booth, and you have no obligation to tell anyone who you voted for.

I thought that your vote is actually recorded as how you voted so politicians and government officials can know that about you. @Ninjastar

No, it is not. If you are registered with a party, that is on record, but thatā€™s only because it allows you to vote in primary elections. Your actual vote is not recorded as being tied to you.

How do we always know how politicians voted for various things over the years if itā€™s not recorded somewhere @Ninjastar ? Is it just because thatā€™s what they previously said they did???

How a congressman votes on bills and measures is part of the public record that anyone can look up (if you know how). Who they vote for in a public election is as private as our vote.

I actually got a letter supposedly from an official office of elections that claimed I hadnā€™t voted in the last two elections so I should vote in this one.

I havenā€™t missed a single election in this state since my very first vote in 2008, so they were very wrong about this. It got me worried over whether or not my previous votes were counted.
