Every four years our nation goes through a political paroxysm of (pick one): furious activity, anxiety, fear, or loathing. The Presidential election -- this year may be the worst ever. The nation has gone through a grueling time since the 2016 election. Now, not only must we choose our president & vice-president, 1/3 of all Senators, all members of the House of Representatives, countless governors and state legislators – we are faced with two very different philosophies of governance.
This SDG proposes to study Election 2020 in each of the three terms in 2020. While we will focus on the Presidential race, we’ll also discuss important local and national trends & issues as they emerge.
