#Decide Who Gets Your Vote in the #PresidentialElection, the #SenatorialElection, the #RepresentativeElection, the #MayoralElection, the #SheriffElection, etc.

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to iSideWith's program to measure your 'politcality') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

The word “Decide” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Cut-, |Strike |Off" (Make Up one's |Mind, |Settle a Dispute, be |Resolute (without Hesitation or Wavering)). #Decision #Deciding

a common marquee for this election (on the same model as marquees of past elections) is ...

... indicating that voters are not so much "sending a person to represent them among the government-officials" as they are "deciding which of the optional candidates should keep representing them."

How are voters supposed to decide? What are the main questions they ask in making their decision?

Many think (as I thought for a long time) that we vote for the candidate whom we believe will do the best job in fulfilling the duties of the office.

But--while we want our officials to do a high-quality performance--the actual qualification we're looking for is "that they are the most 'like us.'" (America is a "Republic"---literally 'governed by a group of people whom we think are "a microcosm of the population."' That's why I suggest you vote for the candidate that iSideWith tells you most-matches your profile there---the candidate whose policies most-match the ones you would use in making the decisions.)

But 'something in me' wants to be "practical." And 'voting for someone who doesn't get into office' seems impractical ... ever since I first asked my parents 'what voting is,' and their answer left me with the idea that you go into the voting-booth and "guess who everybody else is voting-for" (that's why I'll probably vote for Biden this November, although iSideWith is telling me that almost all the other candidates are actually closer representations of me).
