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!

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 @FireMonkey @stueytheround
I think Uncle Joe would support that also...
Trouble is, who is waiting in the wings?
Right now, who is the Young, Vibrant New Leader of the DEMS?
I don't think I can answer that...
We are going to need bridges to build back better and I can't put my finger on who that 'BRIDGE PERSON' is going to be

If we weren't such a bigoted country I could see Pete Buttigieg as president. Intelligent, articulate, and a veteran. None of which counts against him. But being gay? That makes him unelectable on the national stage. The only thing worse would be if he came out as an atheist.

Colorado has Governor Jared Polis, a gay man who married his husband in office. Jared is more than wealthy, he founded ProFlowers. And ran as a Dem but he has more than a little bit of libertarian in him. He has been a good governor, and I could picture him running for president. Though he's given no clues that that's his goal.
