WE MAY NEED A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE

For the past two presidential elections, most American’s voted against one candidate–not for.  Even Trump was surprised when he beat Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election.  But the fact is, lots of people didn’t like her at all, for various reasons.  Misogyny,  mainly.  But others disliked her defense of her husband’s affairs, and the way she threw the women he targeted under the bus. And  there was Benghazi, when our American ambassador was left hung out to dry while she was Secretary of State.  And then came election 2020.  By then, Trump had made so many ridiculous gaffes and mistakes with the Covid-19 pandemic, that people were willing to vote for anyone who opposed him.  Hence, we elected a 42 year political hack  who never had what it took to run for president—until now.   Seems the Democrats and Republicans are so mired in their own party politics that they can’t come up with a truly appealing candidate. Makes you wonder. We may need a third party  candidate.

We may need a third party for America to come to its senses.
We may need a third party candidate, since Democrats and Republicans can’t come up with an appealing one..

I’m an independent voter which has it’s disadvantages, because you can’t vote in the primaries.  But I’ll be darned if I will go all out for any politician I don’t think would do a good job, just because I want to be part of a crowd.  In the days before internet dating sites,  young people used to join politically active organizations as a way to meet members of the opposite sex.  Remember, those were the days when you were supposed to be a joiner if you were looking to find a spouse,   Churches and political parties were fertile mating grounds.

The majority of young people I know vote Democratic. They love causes, and joining protest groups.  Give them something to march about , and they’ll be there in rain, sleet and snow.  Most older people are fairly quiet about their opinions, which more often than not are conservative. Middle age  conservatives are a bit more vocal—driving around town with American flags and signs that say f*** Biden.  But the truth is, neither party has produced a truly dynamic, appealing candidate for the past two elections.

I don’t know how anyone could support either party’s platform 100%.  Do we really believe that all Republicans oppose abortion rights, and all Democrats want open borders?  I don’t think so.

It may be time for a  third party.   Call it  Common Sense, or  whatever you like, but let it be centrist.  And please, come up with an intelligent inspiring,  candidate

WHY DID RUSSIA DO IT, & HOW?

Now that we’ve endured endless hours of Mueller’s testimony before Congress,  we know for sure that Russia interfered in our election.  The question is: Why did Russia back Trump, and how ?  You have to dig pretty deep to find out.

why putin hated clinton
Putin hated Clinton for interfering in his 2011 election

Back in 2011 , when  Prime Minister Putin was running for President,  then Secretary of State Clinton interfered with his election bid against a guy named Medvedev.   It seems she bet on the wrong horse.  Putin won, and he’s held a grudge against Hillary ever since.  I think it’s important for Americans to understand why Putin didn’t want her to win. .    https://time.com/4422723/putin-russia-hillary-clinton/

Speaking from personal experience, I can remember many Facebook advertisements  slamming Clinton and supporting  Trump.  I saw them as spam.  I was annoyed when Facebook allowed  all of these unwanted posts on my page. Why aren’t they  now sharing some of the blame for what happened?  It was quite obvious that someone had it in for Clinton.  Are we supposed to believe Facebook executives  didn’t know the origin of these posts?

The media has led us to believe that Trump was doing something illegal by trying to establish a hotel in Moscow.  If that is true, what about the other 3,000  American companies that currently do business in Russia?  My former brother in law was with a big accounting firm that  had an office in Moscow over 30 years  ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2016/08/03/headline-halah-t/#6db933635f99

After listening to hours of tedious testimony by Mueller in the hearings this week, It seems to me that it was all much ado about nothing.  As FBI agent Peter Storzok said in his famous e mail, “ I’m afraid there’s no there , there.”

Let’s stop wasting money on this investigation that means very  little to the average American.   Why doesn’t Congress focus their efforts on lowering prescription drug prices,  cleaning up the mess at the border, improving our crumbling infrastructure, and changing the way we grant student loans?

Get to work, guys.
