Hateful and angry isn't a good place to be. Not a place anyone should hope for. Maybe best not to pick leaders who are hateful and angry.

We are going on 16 years of angry leaders and looks like guaranteed another 4, not much an individual common man/woman can do about it. 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

I think the answer is that the individual common man needs to start running for the positions rather than the idiots currently running. But that won't happen because the common man has to feed his and his family's face. Using man here as generic, could be man and/or woman. mspart

But I’ve said that politics is no longer a career for the noble who truly want to serve their community/state/etc.

WrestlingRasta Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 (edited) I’m not registered in either party, so she’d have to make the ballot first. Then we’ll see. Haven’t voted for a main party president in a bit. I will say she’s been my favorite of any candidate for ‘24 Edited January 23 by WrestlingRasta

Enough Dem & Ind would have to say this election is so important that I'm going to register Rep just so there's a chance to beat Biden with a reasonable candidate.

Bernie Pragle used to say that we all probably agree on much more than we disagree on. I suspect he was right. It's just that the parts we don't agree on get most of the focus (I'll call it the squeaky-wheel effect - why pay attention to the wheels that work fine?)

I've generally found when you talk to the actual people in organizations there is a lot you can agree on, when you talk to the leaders - not so much. 1 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC
flyingcement Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Both of the two major parties are so incredibly pathetic. Hopefully we don't see weak people who are bullied into the idea that votes only matter if for D or R. This is a braindead idea, and if you encounter someone that thinks that, you can probably discount most other things they have to say.
