Good post

This year it's truly about voting for the guy you dislike less.

That would be Biden for me dog

I wish either side ran a couple 40-55 year old adults

70+ is too old to be president in my opinion.

Policies are broken promises, campaign bs

- Boss34


Its been that way for about the last 3-4 elections.

Somehow out of this country of millions and millions of people we were relegated to

Trump/Clinton.
Trump/Biden.

Good Post, it's more about lining there pockets and getting a vote then doing what hopefully is good

Campaign donation law.

If you accepted donations form a company, industry, etc, or if you have stock in said industry, company etc you are not allowed to work on legislation that contains said company, industry.

Seems pretty easy.

I've voted for Perot , Bush. W. And Obama
So I'm hardly a liberal

Policies aside, for me it's about leadership.

Currently, it's an embarrassing situation.

Even trumpers cant be proud of shooting rubber bullets on American citizens and gassing a priest, to take a picture. Bible upside down, no prayer....

- Boss34

I wasn't trying to put a label on you.
Leadership is important, as well. That is where Trump's personality fails him. He's used to just saying what he wants and people jumping to see it's being done, so he doesn't work well with others. He's obnoxious, arrogant. Can behave childishly, is thin-skinned and spiteful. You'd think he'd be easy to beat, but Biden is a joke, imo. What has he ever done to show he's a leader? Biden has made a long career of being a part of the machine that helped create this current mess our country is in.
Ever wondered how many people dislike Trump but voted for him only because Hillary scared them more? Maybe Biden will similarly ride an anyone-but-Trump vote this time. Too often it seems like our choice comes down to the lesser of two evils. Neither side offers us much of a leader. Maybe that will change next time 🙄.

side note, just picked up 3 dozen 2020 diablo tour golf balls from Richards for $45.

Probably my favorite ball to use.

Does, I am pretty sure there is something close to that, but you see how much that has worked.

CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ETC ETC Should all be sued for mass hysteria for spreading misinformation.

They are all garbage networks that pander to the lowest of lows.

- ImThatGuy


They're not the lowest of lows. They're simply people who have difficulty thinking for themselves. You can't fault a person for not having the capacity to do so.

Never Trumpers and Trump Lickers share the same lack of understanding, and it's just the way it is. If you lack an ability to view the world outside of a box, or a willingness to learn, then that's on the individual. Let them be. Just stop spreading hate.

sadly thats what it is most years.. i kept waiting for a 3rd party to emerge as a real possibility last year.. but no one could gain traction
- SabresFaninIndiana



If there was a viable 3rd party candidate, I bet both sides would lose votes to said candidate.

Policies clearly are important, but both sides have flaws

Ross had a shot, until he dropped out and came back in for the 92 election


I wasted my vote on him, and proud of it

- homiedclown



I also used my vote for Ross. Wasn't/ still not a Bill Clinton fan.

It always seems odd that almost every policy is dem or conservative. Love it or hate it.

Bipartisan is a thing of the past
Also, voting along part lines, in my opinion

I wish votes were anonymous. I know how difficult it would be for votes to be anonymous, but at the very least, the congress could be people instead of defined by their party.

Seriously, one other big objection is president being old.
Vote for old or older?

I get that with age comes wisdom, but with age comes mental health issues. Also a basic lack of community feel. Lack of real current issues.

Probably going to be trump jr. Vs. Andrew Cuomo in 2024
If trump wins

Biden's v.p ( governor Gretchen) is my guess , cant believe Biden is going to be president until he's 80

I see two problems with this:

1. The practicality of it, like you suggested.

2. If you could make it work practically, there is no way for the constituents to know if the officer is voting for the interest/platforms he was elected to run on. A ridiculous example in order to not start a firestorm: you voted me into office because I would vote for Marvel movies becoming a mandatory part of national education, something you feel very strongly about. You vote for me on this premise. I turn around and vote against this the first chance I get. If my vote is anonymous, you have know way of knowing I voted against it, nor can you make an informed decision not to vote for me next election cycle.

You're dead to me.

But on a serious note, you're dead to me.




Of course it's impossible, it's a cake and eat it too scenario. You just can't do both. But the system is poison. If I'm a republican and I vote for a democratic policy that is extremely sensible, my own party blacklists me even though I did the right thing. This is the foundation of the failures in congress.

"Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed

I think he picks Grisham


she keeps the ticket away from far left and can rally hispanic voters


trump's going to get his 8 to 10 % from the African American vote anyhow, so picking a Harris or Abrams doesn't really help Biden

According to local news outlets, the man who shot him, a white local bar owner named Jake Gardner, was brought in for questioning then released. On Monday, law enforcement announced that Gardner would not be charged in the killing.

BuzzFeed News reports that, according to local news outlets, Scurlock allegedly broke a bar window during the protest on Saturday — though many on social media dispute this — and that Gardner used racial slurs before firing. Scurlock was transported to the Nebraska Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Floyd had landed five years behind bars in 2009 for an assault and robbery two years earlier, and before that, had been convicted of charges ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs, the Daily Mail reported.


and passing out fake 20's




and of course we know nothing about what happened before the video of his death



after saying that his death in that manor was wrong
