Well I personally consider it smartening up, im sure half the population would consider it a "dumbing down" lol.

Honestly I just did some soul searching, a lot of studying and I realized that on most of the major issues I leaned to the left.

I still somewhat am conservative on fiscal issues, but I found that im pretty far to the left on most social issues.

Good to have you here.
I have never been a liberal but did vote Dem (shhhh ) for a spell. My first vote for POTUS was for JFK, then LBJ, he was such a thug that I just couldn't vote for another crook. My next POTUS vote was for Nixon. After that I decided to actually look at the candidate & not the party.
Voting is a hope & prayer thing anyway, pray that we're voting for the best person, hope that he/she doesn't disappoint. I have been disappointed. several times.

Oops, don't know what the (*)(*)(*) is but the word was "waters". Is that a no no?
