We may got from 4 years of Russia Russia Russia to 4 years of Hunter Hunter Hunter. Or 4 more years of Russia Russia Russia. Depending on what the media company's think will sell best.
What's clear is that 2024 is already shaping up to be potentially worse than this one, I think. Will we be voting for Ivanka? Biden again? Kamala? Someone in these parts already has a giant JIM JORDAN 2024 sign under their equally overcompensatingly huge Drumpf sign. I'm already exhausted for future me.
Maybe you should spend less time telling us *who's* bad, and try and persuade us of your vision of what the world should look in the future, and how you think is the best way to achieve it. Just a thought.
I'd like to think that were an option, but I sincerely doubt the chance of anyone here having their mind changed through discussion, myself included. I'll stick to snarky comments and thinking about sammitches, thanks.
And this is the problem with this country and this election. Everybody wants to play identity politics. It's easier. No one wants to get down to the real dividing issues, because those are no fun. It's so much fun to demand stimulus and reparations and free healthcare, and when asked "how do you propose we pay for it?" to shout "Racism!" "You hate the poor!" "You're a libtard!" "You're a Nazi!" "Kill Mitch!" That's easy.
But it's true, trying to persuade me to accept a tax increase would be really, really hard. Just about as hard as trying to convince a Democrat to accept spending cuts.
Still, this is how deals are made. You can get me to give up short term profit for long term profit. That's how it's done. But you have to convince me what the long term gain is for me.
