It was announced last week that America will indeed have Presidential debates before the conventions. June 27th in Atlanta with no audience hosted by CNN the two will square off in an anticipated event for Indecision 2024. With almost 70% of voters cringing at the choices, this can only make matters worse. Sure, it will be hilarious but come on RNC and DNC, this is what passes for candidates?
43% of the electorate are registered independents and debates are geared towards them but do they care as much as Democrats? Unless President Trump is convicted of a felony his supporters are 100% ride or die regardless of the debate outcome. The incumbent as Bill Mahr put on Real Time, “needs to show proof of life.” His guest commented that a drug test was in-order for steroids and amphetamines, we want a clean match here, no performance enhancers. But the question remains will the Dems support a man clearly past his prime with VP Harris?
The DNC convention in Chicago is not until August 19th wait, Chicago! The 3rd largest city in the nation screams Obama, Michele, but a liberal can only dream. She would definitely beat Trump, a slam dunk but old man Joe still has some in the tank to tell the kids, “Stay off my goddamn lawn!”
Even with former President Trump convicted of sexual assault, rape, he remains bullet-proof awaiting the outcome in New York over his lightweight shenanigans. Election interference and classified documents will not see any rulings before November. But will Biden be able to slam him on his bullshit, quick on his feet? The bike incident, Air Force One, and so on; probably not.
Rescheduling Marijuana was long overdue and I don’t think that buys him votes, the states already acted. The student loan forgiveness also has not aided his polling with young people and the inflation especially on food and housing hurts. But it’s the wokeness of the left that has some friends saying, “fuck it, I’m voting Trump” to my surprise.
This is the perfect cycle for a 3rd party candidate but alas RFK is our only hope and he’s no Ross Perot. His lack of 15% and eligible ballot access has CNN not inviting him. Dr, Cornell West is also lacking ballot access and I’d assume nobody knows he’s even running. But for those brothers and sisters looking for courage through love might find his video on message with one they would like to embody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAZv9UZBDFg
The courage it takes to not vote two party is one Americans lack. The only way we make change is saying no, fuck no! These seniors do not represent the USA population, they represent Mar-a-Lago tee times, Jello, Diet Coke, and adult diapers. They represent the ego of right and wrong. They don’t unite, they divide. I don’t want Trump blazing X feeds or Biden stumbling as a Commander and Chief, do you?
Debates before the conventions raises questions like, can they please save us from Cavs V. Warriors 3? If 2 out of 3 voters don’t want these men to run can their voice be heard? Are they courageous to believe elections can be won by Reform candidate’s like Jesse Ventura in 1998’s Minnesota Governor race?
In 2016 Trump was elected President to his surprise over Hilary. Why? I believe Michael Moore hit it on the head saying, “People’s lives didn’t improve under Bush or Obama and they threw a Molotov Cocktail at the system.” The richest nation in the world has poisonous drinking water, a homeless epidemic, and debt. Debt that keeps the citizens working for what they can’t afford.
Housing has taken a dramatic turn as the American Dream of home ownership feels fleeting to those barely able to rent. The gap between rich and poor grows with AI on the horizon of cutting even more jobs from the bottom feeders. The future looks dim for the young, old, and everyone in between. That’s not the shining city on the hill the Gibber raved about, nor a New Deal from the only President to hold office for 3 terms.
I wish the candidates would remind us we hold the most valuable resource in the world, human capital! American’s are innovators, independent, and produce! We work longer hours than the rest of the 1st world and believe in entrepreneurship. You can be anything you want to be in America, until that thought is eroded by the road less traveled but it still exists.
This land is full of opportunity and rich game as our forefathers stated, just look around. Where one person is weak another is strong and we leverage one another for the sake of being United. With State’s rights along with county and city trickling down every voice deserves participation in the greatest experiment ever attempted.
Choosing sides and then waiting for the ‘I told you so,’ is not going to make one feel like a man or woman; only courage of loving one you disagree with over gun right’s, for example, while popping a beer and cooking out is a true win. “Are you hot?” “Me too. Let’s get in the pool.” If one still holds opinions of ‘I’m right’ there is a definite lack, a hole. Because when an individual is confident in themselves, their integrity, honor, and intentions; they need not to debate. Why? Because they are all good, whole.
A President doesn’t make or break a community, we do. Our neighbors are our links in the chain. Our co-workers, friends, and family, our immediate surroundings is what make us strong; united. Or we point the finger and then 3 back spoiling human capital, a shame.
The oldest constitution in world remains intact but election fraud talk, even back to 2016 debates threatens democracy, as well as wokeness. There is a war being fought by those living in separation. While in Florida a beautiful blonde woman, entrepreneur, and model said upsettingly, “I don’t care if he rapes 5 women” shows the anger from the emptiness. Talking with teachers in NC, “the parents are the worst but I love my kids.” Withholding pronouns from parents is unlawful in my opinion. Have we forgotten these are minors? How do they dictate?
But this is where they want us to live. Sorry I oppose that. I like to adhere to the Declaration of Independence, if you mess with my pursuit of happiness than we have a problem; otherwise do what you want. American’s shouldn’t be out to police people. They need that time to innovate, create, and aspire to greatness. We all our 100% responsible for our position and we can’t blame illegals, LGBT, comedians, pro athletes, movie stars, or politicians; we can only blame ourselves. To go to the dark corners of the self as Brother West stated is more difficult than a soldier fighting a war.
That sounds like something worthy of debate.
