TMM believes America needs TWO truthful, believable parties to balance each other and compete in the political marketplace. Unfortunately, while the once-proud GOP remains the newly-rebranded COT (Cult of Trump), that’s not the case. Moderates, consider that – and VOTE.

After two unconventional conventions in these unconventional times, the election sprint now begins. May the best man win; and then, as Melania says, "Be Best" as president. Moderates, you might decide which man wins – VOTE.

You may have heard people say, “this is one of the most consequential elections in recent history.” TMM certainly believes that’s true. President Trump won some states in the 2016 election by very slim margins. So YOUR VOTE MATTERS! In addition to voting, PLEASE share these important resources with your friends and family.

TMM hates to pee in the punchbowl during this week’s Democratic love-fest – but somebody needs to. Alert: This post contains many colloquialisms. Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls. If you remember that line from a classic TV show*, you might be a Baby Boomer – and you might decide this election.

TMM urges readers: do whatever you must do to stay sane, vigilant, determined – and hopeful. It’s going to be a wild ride this Fall; but no matter how wild, ugly, and discouraging it gets, we must resolve to do our part for our beloved country. Donate, volunteer – and VOTE.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you. If you remember that 1973 song by Stealers Wheel, and identify with its chorus, you might be a Moderate Baby Boomer – and you might decide this election.

Moderates, post your scores in our Comments section and use those scores to help determine your vote. Then sock it to ‘em – VOTE.

If you knew that line came from the TV classic Mission Impossible and remember the original version (1966 – 1973), you might be a Baby Boomer – and you MIGHT decide this election. Last week, TMM’s Moderate Leadership Test (MLT) suggested candidates’ Vital Values help evaluate their character – asserting that’s as important as their positions on issues (if not more). MLT also compares candidates’ Basic Beliefs, so Moderates can decide which candidates’ align with theirs.

Moderates, if candidates’ Vital Values are important to you, TMM suggests using this test to compare them. That way, we can allow what’s in their HEARTS, as well as their HEADS, to help determine our votes. Please score them yourselves; in future posts, we’ll offer our scores. Boomers and Moderates, remember – we just might decide this election. VOTE.

Hopefully, John Lewis' spirit will never leave us. But now that his physical presence is gone, the words of St. Paul resonate: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day…" If anybody ever deserved those words, John Lewis did. Want to honor his legacy? Contribute to campaigns and organizations fighting “the good fight”. Volunteer for them. Above all, VOTE.
