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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingRasta Posted January 23 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted January 24 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
