Good morning! Coffee brewing.
Enjoying the morning "coolness" b4 it starts to melt the tarmac again. Off around the 'hood to inventory the chickens and cats.
I'll leave you with a positive note.
Dear US America, the kids are alright.
@FireMonkey That said, *imagine* the result if 70% of younger voters voted.
There would never be a GOP government again. 😁
And if the New American Majority that has been so disenfranchised they just don't register, let alone vote, we're to be so inspired, we'd have the goddang flying cars we were promised. 😉🤣
It couldn't be more clear, there IS a way out of this...
It's called VOTING
Will grant you now, there are issues with VOTING
But our only legitimate recourse is via VOTING
@Madken65 @stueytheround
And if we are able to take a strong majority it is imperative that we change election laws (eliminate electoral college, implement the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, overturn Citizens -United decision to eliminate money in politics), increase SCOTUS to 13, choose ranked choice voting wherever possible...then flying fscking cars!
@FireMonkey @Madken65 @stueytheround
We're going to need a more progressive and aggressive president than Uncle Joe to accomplish all that. As much as I like and admire him, Biden needs to be a one-term president. Then a younger and more dynamic Democrat needs to take over the reigns.
@Jeber @Madken65 @stueytheround
I concur, but in discussions with my political friends we're having a hard time identifying just who that might be.
As for me I will remain a Bernie DieHard. Newsome is making some interesting motions. I have a hard time coming up with any others who might stand a chance of running the gauntlet.
@FireMonkey
The trouble with Bernie now, is that while he is much more progressive, he is also part of the old-guard.
As @Jeber implied, there needs to be a generational shift in politics, worldwide.
@stueytheround @Jeber @Madken65
Yeah I guess my 2024 ticket would be a transitional Bernie / Newsome ticket.
But that's more than two years away - we need THIS election to go off well or we won't have anymore, that matter anyway.
