Trump has GOT to change the way he speaks if he want to win. [from this afternoon]

[Neighbor]

Hi Sower, People state they are worse off or better off under certain administrations do they not? And then state that I must vote for this person or that one based upon that.

What I stated was if I did that I would certainly vote for Harris. Why? Because I am better off under Biden by far than I was under Trump.
BUT, BUT, BUT, I do not vote based upon that criteria.

That  voting your pocketbook is as old as Ronnie Reagan's use of it at least . R.R. whose policies left me in a lurch too.

I do hope to vote for some high level of personal integrity seen in a potential leader. In Trump I see a snake. In Harris, well really I haven't seen much, but saw more than enough of Biden. 

What I see of Kennedy Jr. is an honest presentation by a man that has dealt with many a real issue in his own life has  discipline, has a history of working for oppressed and for poor people, has a devotion to clean water, clean land, and small farmers.

So I am all in for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.   See more of why at Kennedy 2024.

Did you try the little quiz I posted to see if you actually agree with Kennedy?  I was writing to you at the time, but you never replied:

Hi Sparks, I probably missed it, sorry. I have really preferred not to keep posting on this thread, in fact stated I was not going to but several here  keep quoting me and I have felt like  oh geesh I will offend them if I don't acknowledge them.

Next thing we get to debating the candidates yet again. None of us are moving off the dime we are presently on. The world looking in must be ready to gag on all the USA political scene talk by now. I know I am.

Hopefully each of us really have our hope placed in Jesus and not on any man or nation. To that end might we rejoice together while showing the world of a better way that is our common hope,  our lord Jesus.

Let's talk Jesus to an unsaved world and encourage each other under his comforting eternal security given by his sacrifice at the cross at Calvary.

May God bless.

I thought the little quiz had a 'scientific tone' to it since you could compare your values to all candidates, and vote for the one who would most likely do things the way you would.  If the test revealed that you don't agree with any of them, then I suppose the answer would be not to vote (like George Carlin always did).

God Bless

I took the quiz.  Every 4 years some group or organization presents this fun little lure about answer these questions and we'll tell you who you align with.  Heaven forbid that I rely on this to base my vote.  As good or as faulty these quizzes are I consider them to be entertaining and nothing more.

Do your homework on each candidate and make your own informed decision.

Thanks. I didn’t find a source, but from what I understand much of it is plausible or even likely. A few years ago, she was rated the most liberal in the Senate.

In 2019 GovTrac said Harris was the most liberal senator of all...even more far left than Bernie Sanders.

And they said she missed voting a lot but introduced a lot of bills...which apparently went no where.

I understand.  Everyone knows that.  HE knows that.  Why the pretense that he doesn't?

Maybe he forgot.

I would have said, "I don't care what she is when it comes to ethnicity. I'd just say she's a human being I'm running against who is wanting America to keep going down the wrong road!"

I am not exactly a low information voter and when there are 35 candidates because there are primaries and caucuses going on, the quiz can be more than just entertainment.  If the main stream media were even remotely honest and they put together an accurate quiz like this, I think it would help all the super low information voters out there who either vote on party lines, or blindly. 

A person who cannot tell you about any current events, cannot even name the three branches of government and who don't understand what the electoral college is or does, or what policies are damaging to the country should just stay home on election day.  Just because a person can vote does not mean they necessarily should.  Since that is not possible, maybe they should just take the letter D off the side of each candidate's names, and see what happens to those who cannot even name a candidate.  Now that would be entertainment!

Yup….the Founders talked about a couple things required to hold this republic.

1. well informed

2. moral
