I can’t argue with that being the case in Florida, where the “Democratic Party” (which, despite recent improvement, is neither) poobahs decided that we didn’t need a Dem presidential primary and gave Joe all our delegates.
BUT had I been allowed to vote – as I had in 2020 – I would’ve voted for Biden, knowing full well as I did 4 years ago that he probably wouldn’t finish his term and in essence I was voting for Harris. So the “nobody voted for her” isn’t quite that simple.
And on the flip side, considering that Orange Jailius is at least 78, obese, and eats like a teenager – not to mention his obvious mental decline – it’s very likely that Vance will become POTUS before 2028. How many people voted to put him on the ticket?
To each his own, but I’m sorry if you really feel that way. I could never tell anyone, even if I disagreed with their choices, not to register (though I might hope they’d forget to vote). I’ve always felt that to not vote would be spitting on the graves of everyone who fought for the right to do it, from Crispus Attucks (?) to today.
Although I’m white and it didn’t make a difference in MY right to vote, since it happened in my lifetime I particularly feel I owe it to the Freedom Riders who were killed, and civil rights leaders like MLK Jr, to cast sincere, informed, votes every time.
I’m not a Pollyanna, I realize that much needs to be improved – IMHO, starting with overturning the ruling that money equals speech, and rejecting the philosophy that corporations are actual people.
Still, my wife and I take caution not to speak ill of our refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, clothes washer, and even the 45-year-old microwave while in their presence.
“Head home about five… 8 1/2 hour drive, home by 9:30.”
Maybe I’m misreading that, but I hope there’s a typo in there somewhere. Otherwise you must have slingshotted around the sun to go back in time a few hours.
There’s one supposed “billionaire” convicted of taking money from at least one charity campaign.
