Gary Markstein for July 29, 2022

Let me fix this:

Do you want Trump, a Republic (if you can keep it), or a root canal?

Snoopy for president!

Or the third option: A republican. I still take the root canal.

Uh oh, now even Markstein has turned on Dementia Joe.

Biden will announce after the midterms. “Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else. There’s an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. They are the future of this country.” March 9, 2020

Paul von Hindenburg won his reelection as president at age 84 and that turned out okay for his country, didn’t it?

If only root canals were free like voting is!

The poll points out the basic absurdity of the American form of choosing a president – ignoring for a moment the stupidity of the electoral college (stuck in the American political by shadow supporters of George III, I suspect), practically, Americans are given an “either/ or” choice which, recently has been a case of which kind of poison you’d prefer.

Until we get rid of this ridiculous way of electing our leaders and go to something better like the English “parliamentarian” system we’re screwed.

The “founding fathers” did not trust the great unwashed masses of the electorate to make proper decisions on their leaders, so they fixed it so that the “real” choices would rest with the powerful and the monied. The 17th Amendment attempted to correct this gross oversight but only went half-way.

Only for the mentally challenged.

Good answer. Giving us someone to vote for is not their job, that’s the job of the corporations and billionaires that own congress.

FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!

I think it should be a high colonic.

In 2024, there will be a new younger crop of political combatants!
