The analogy between weddings and marriage and politics is very clever. Only you, Slyram, can write something like this. Actually, I wish I did:)

Augusta is currently going through a change process and there’s folks kicking and screaming. People living in the days of old where having one or two ‘political leaders’ to get information from, get permission to do certain things, etc. has slowly disappeared. There’s a struggle to create a new generation of ‘kingmakers’ so to speak. That way of doing business is antiquated. The ‘now’ generation is looking for fairness, diversity, inclusion, less bickering and more focus on issues, more working together versus working apart. And it’s a new day brewing in our city.
It’s almost like that marriage that you know is on it’s last leg, but you want to try (only one of you do) and maintain it or reignite the fire. Your spouse doesn’t want it. Your spouse wants to move on.

As it is in Augusta, one side wants to stay and the other wants to move on. Upcoming elections are going to be indicators of which of the spouses is going to prevail. And we shall see the results on Election Day on Tuesday.
