Let’s talk about generations and a shift….
Why US elections only give you two choices
And it’s not that those things aren’t true. But there’s a much simpler explanation, and it’s the very basic rule governing almost every single one of our elections: Only one person can win. If you’re American, that probably sounds utterly reasonable: what the hell other kinds of elections even are there? But the answer is: lots. Winner-take-all elections (also called plurality voting, or “first past the post”) are actually a practice that most advanced democracies left behind long ago — and they’re what keep us from having more political options.
Even if you’re not sold on the need for more parties in the US, though, scratch the surface of “only one person can win” a little and you start to see how it actually produces perverse results within the two-party system as well. It’s a big part of why the political parties have moved farther apart from each other, and it leaves about half of the country without any political representation at all. Watch the video above to see how.
Don’t forget what tRump broke, and Biden had to rebuild.
Donald Trump’s State of the Party (if he were being honest).
Cognitively Impaired Man Slurs Through Rally Speeches
Even though the media won’t report on how badly tRump is failing, we must. The public must know before voting. Plus we must remind people that reports show that the White House was awash with drugs, speed, uppers, sleep pills, pain pills, cocaine, and Adderall. Yet tRump and the maga bunch act so holy and pure. Hugs. Scottie
Raw Story reports:
Donald Trump had several verbal slip-ups at his rally in North Carolina on Saturday, prompting the internet to go wild There were several instances in which the former reality TV star flubbed his lines, glitched, or otherwise slurred through his standard stump speech.
Conservative columnist Tom Nichols said the people in Trump’s audience “mostly know he’s beyond addled now.” “You can keep showing it to them, and they don’t care, because they think it’ll be a hilarious lib-own to put him back in the White House and hand him the codes to 1500 nuclear weapons.”

Looks pretty deferential to me…
I love that picture

I don’t know how many of our shared blogging community follow Steve. I have followed him for what seems a long time, through three blogs of my own. I started following him for his atheist content but have he has a great take on other topics. I strongly recommend following his blog. Hugs. Scottie
