I'm sorry I haven't been active. I had to come back and share this with you guys.

Please tell me there's no one here who still thinks Trump is a man of integrity.

I've never thought he's a man of integrity. I've been criticizing him here since 2015.

Also, what were people's reaction to the recent abortion laws in Georgia and other states?

A good start.

At the state level, there needs to be action to abolish abortion except in exceptional cases (mother's life).

At the federal level, Congress needs to ensure access to prenatal care through Medicaid and SCHIP.

I couldn't in good conscience vote for him in 2016, and I can't in 2020 either. Not with this kind of behavior. I've heard he's a very polite and well-spoken man in private, so this may just be a persona that he thinks is necessary to maintain support, but I still can't support it. Doesn't mean that he hasn't done good things though.

I really do wish the United States would adopt electoral reforms designed to increase choice at the ballot box. Instant-runoff voting (a.k.a. ranked-choice voting) would not be difficult to adopt, and it would preserve the same essential features of the current system that many Americans like -- geographic representation, clear winners and losers, stable two-party government, etc.
