Regardless of which party "wins", all but the top half percent or so lose: it's the nature of the game as it's been played for decades.
I know this won't be a popular stand, but I gave up participating in politics once I fully and deeply realized that no one can serve two masters (two Kingdoms), and my choice was for the King that reigns forever and doesn't need a vote. Besides, the Republic as intended was a faint history even then, and my continuing participation would legally make me an accessory to high crimes and treason. Yes, I've read the Constitution as written and amended, and more than I wanted to of the UCC.
While a lot of folks put a lot of energy into making sure "the right candidate" gets elected, my belief is that for any election of consequence, things are now fully rigged in advance. Why, after decades of party flip/flop in all branches of gov, have things gotten consistently worse? Because both Republicrats and Demicans are courting the same money (ie: sleeping with the enemies of We the People). By being a registered voter, whether you vote or not, you are accepting the deceits and the deficits they incur in "our names". My conscience refuses, my hands are now clean of that mess, and I sleep well knowing who is really in charge.
My hat is off to those who are at least trying to make things better on a local level, and I sincerely wish you well with your efforts. I used to be a volunteer firefighter (even a past chief), but got tired of others expecting me to be "the answer" to what they were unwilling to do for themselves. My observation is that it's only worse in the larger world. I'm now plenty busy doing the best I can to make a positive difference on this small patch of ground, and with the people I (figuratively) walk with. The task is often overwhelming.
God set Adam in the garden to till and keep it. Throughout history, most have followed those precepts and done ok "by The Book". Considering the source, I figure it's still good advice.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
