Former Republican CIA, FBI heads and national security officials to
back Biden

I am getting resigned to the idea that we will get Biden and I just
say the same thing I usually do when people do something dumb

"Sometimes you need to let the baby touch the stove".

The republic will survive as long as the dollar does. The only
question is how long that will be. My predictions have a scary habit
of being right. I just think things will happen sooner than they do
(like the housing crash)
I just hope my prediction of the debt bubble crash outlives me.

If Biden wins and the Senate goes Democrat, I believe we'll see some drastic
changes to this country. By opening the borders, making citizens of the illegals
already here, buying more votes with welfare, we'll not see Republicans in
charge for a long time. Look at the cities and states with the big problems now.
They're not, for the most part, run by Republicans.

I am far more concerned with the Senate and the house than the
president but my real interest is the local elections where hundreds
of votes can carry the day and my personal interests are more at
stake.
I have gone out of my way to be sure the Council has heard me speak
and the town manager knows me. That is how I got our road fixed in a
day.


Of course. That would explain your non-voting for a potential president.

No matter who wins, Gregory can say "I didn't vote for him". I guess he
hates trump and Biden equally. There's no other explanation for why he
won't do his patriotic duty.


===

That's a bit harsh. His patriotic duty is to vote, not to vote for
someone you approve of.


I saw nothing in that comment suggesting Greg vote for someone Justan approved
of, only that he vote.

No, you both insist that I vote for "someone who can win" and at this
point that is Trump or Biden and if I really felt obligated to vote
for the winner, Biden is looking more likely every day.
As I said, I really tried to give Trump a chance but he is not
maturing.
I also can't vote for Biden, so what am I supposed to do? I will pick
someone I like, vote for her (if nothing changes Jo Jorgensen) and be
resigned I am going to lose.

You're reading in to it something that wasn't said. A Fat Harryism, as it

The way I see it, he's throwing his vote away. Like it or not one of the two
will be the next president. He should choose which he thinks will better
represent the country.


Roughly half the population throws their vote away in every election.
Hillary would point out it was far more than half in 2016.

For me the choice is easy. I am going to vote for the one who will act for
the country, not his party. Besides all the swamp dwellas smell pretty bad
to me.

Bull****.

Vote for the one with the least faults. Or just cop out. It's your choice.

The pros and cons of Biden and Trump are not identical.

Your vote for Jo, knowing she (he?) can't win is just another cop out.

Do your thing, but please don't try to justify a copout as something more than
what it is.
