After witnessing what we have over the past year, the moral fault line in America is crystal clear. If someone believes the federal government should be gunning down innocent citizens in the streets of Minneapolis, or anywhere else, he or she is not a good person.
If someone believes the president of the United States should be using his office to boost his own bank account while we and our neighbors struggle to pay for food and health care, he or she is not a good person.
If someone believes the federal government should be involved in an obvious cover-up of the most evil sex-trafficking ring in history, he or she is not a good person.
And, if someone supports any political party that enables all of the above, he or she is not a good person. As we vote this year, the choice is ours. And it’s a profoundly moral choice.
