I was annoyed, but not upset. Hard to get upset when you’re interests aren’t represented.
If we could just mush all of these guys together we’d get-—well, we’d get Fred with better oratory skills and more pep in his step. LOL
I have been a registered voter for 35 years and there was only ONE election where my first choice candidate actually became President. That was Reagan.
Every other time I was asked to settle for ? because it was all about party unity. Bad thing is, I am really not a Republican. I never vote a straight ticket. I have voted for Democrats, Independents, Republicans. Screw party affiliation. Has a political party really done much beyond raising money for a candidate? Does a college Fraternity improve a students grade point?
We have been locked in to this two party system of politics and I am finding little difference between the two choices. When I shop for a car, I look at models, colors options and brands. When shopping for a President, I get two bland choices, no options, and dependability is always a concern. How can anyone honestly say that a Republican and a DEmocrat running for office is really a choice we can live with. Neither is going to change much about the corruption of the system. All they are worried about is power and control. The agenda may be slightly a different package, but globalists dominate both partys so the outcome is predictable, except for the timing.
Smart people realize that we have few options and when we see a potential candidate that offers something way beyond the normal way politico’s do business, we have to grasp the opportunity. The sheeple mentality has people convinced we have no choice, just vote for D or R and shut up. Voting has almost become an exercise in futility because the process has lost it’s intellectual backing.
Now the pundits do the thinking and write columns that think for us instead of people actually taking time to do individual research on a candidate or an issue.
There is so much bad information around, how can anyone make an honest decision about who to vote for? But we merrily march to the polls, tongue in cheek. We are allowed to vote as our voice in the process. Then they tell us to shut up. We had our say and the debate is over.
So realistically, we are not participants in the Democratic process. We are spectators.
