					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://lettersblogatory.com/2016/11/08/reflections-on-the-election/#comment-2694&quot;&gt;Ted Folkman&lt;/a&gt;.

I&#039;m sorry, but I can&#039;t.  I do not live in America so perhaps it doesn&#039;t matter anyway.

His performance as president can not erase his actions that have implicitly condoned hate, racism, sexism and discrimination even if he is not one of them.

People may chalk it up to much needed change in policy or to invigorate a stagnant economy or the ridding of a corrupt political system which (let&#039;s face it) is not working.  But at the root of it all, the western world utilizes democracy and the social systems that it has in place in order to allow for everyone to enjoy the same freedoms.  The motive goes to the root of protecting basic, fundamental human rights for all (politics, policy and economics aside).  

As far as I&#039;m concerned he has already failed humanity and America on this through his reckless actions.]]></description>

Please call me Ted! :-)

I will have thoughts about the election later today or tomorrow. My first thought, though, is that when an election is over, whatever happened in the past, it&#039;s important to give the winner a clean slate and a chance. So I will try to judge the President-elect by what he says and does now, not what he said or did then.]]></description>

Well, at 10:30 p.m. on this very distressing election night I don&#039;t think I ought to try to say anything useful or meaningful, since it seems apparent that I knew less about the country than I thought I did.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Watching from across the pond one wonders how it came down to a choice between two such poor candidates. Trump must have alienated so many people with his spiteful rhetoric, but still he is in the running. Hilary is flawed, and I can&#039;t help but speculate on where America would be if the infinitely more credible Bernie Sanders had emerged as the Democrat candidate.]]></description>
