    Yep....I've decided I'm done voting for the lesser of two evils and so for the first time since I turned 18, I wont be voting in November. That goes for not only the Presidential choice, but the Senate race here in kentucky which will be McConnell vs an AOC type candidate. I just refuse to contribute to either side at this point.

    Instead of police reform, we need political reform. I think the VAST majority of cops are good people. Lets just say 2 out of 10 aren't ideal and right for the job.

    I think it's the total opposite with politicians. Hard to find a good, honest one.

    Yep, and then even if you find a good honest one, you may completely disagree with their political platform. Like cory booker who I think may win the democratic nomination and run against McConnell. He seems like a good honest man, but he is so far left (like aoc left) that I cant vote for him.

    What about Romney do you like from a public policy perspective?

    Cory Booker is the senator from New Jersey.

    Charles Booker is running for the democratic nomination for the senate in Kentucky.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    What the country needs, in order to really begin to have a third or more parties with a real chance, is ranked choice voting. It doesn't even require Congress as the states can make the decision to do this. Maine does it. It would allow us to pick the 3rd party candidate as our top choice and, if that person is not the top vote getter, then my vote goes to my next choice. This would REALLY allow a 3rd party to have a legitimate shot because no one would feel like their vote is being lost by using it on a 3rd party or other candidate. Imagine if there was a 3rd party candidate that a lot of people liked, but half hated Trump and half hated Biden. They could BOTH vote for the 3rd party candidate with either Biden or Trump as their second choice. They would not be "wasting" their vote, and we might actually get a decent candidate for the first time in ages
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    Instead of not voting I encourage you to vote third party or independent. Heck write in someone. Unless the D’s and the R’s see their percent vote drop, nothing will change.

    How about a campaign to write in David F West??? Yeah.

    Yes, I like Romney a lot - he’s the only Republican I’ve voted for President, and I would absolutely vote for him this year if by the grace of God, Trump bailed. I’m a big fan of business people leading the executive branch... just not Trump. I also think Romney has among the best moral characters of any political figure, but that doesn’t say much...

    I've crunched the numbers, and it turns out a lot of people do in fact believe those statements. To be fair the sample size is quite large for people with eyes and ears.
    Run the table.
