I respect many throughout this site and the owner thereof. I also understand scruples. However if anyone is so disenchanted that they think not voting and allowing Marxist terrorists to regain control of the U.S. they need their heads examined. Itâs politics, which is essentially abhorrent, but there are degrees. Allowing the actions of Biden era insanity to show back up in the legislature makes me shake my head in disgust. Noting much agreement with, regarding this administration, the disappointments I cannot punish it by turning this country back to the lunatic fringe of 2000-2024. Though I always agree w/ Ms. Fitts and the battle to combat the aptly named beast system I have been aghast at her inability to see the Tucker/Massie et al operation to undermine Trump and usher back in these psychos. She canât be that naive. The left will usher in something exponentially worse financially but not before a complete EU style final destruction of all sovereignty here. Letâs just use AIPAC as a buzzword. If that is a driving force for this ant-Trump dyspepsia do you not think they own the left as well? Understanding the tremendous individual support of Solari fighting for those strengthening parallel systems for freedom the editorial tone had been quite off-putting. Just sayinâ honest appraisals are appreciated but it comes down to choosing sides. There is complete justification for the UNiparty, get it?, hatred but there is definitely more nuance to what protects Americans from EU-style fascism. The divide and conquer operation used for centuries because human are essentially chattel is alive and well today. Being as old as anyone here I know fixing things will take decades if they can be fixed at all. Itâs a political war that looks very ugly but I have no patience with political conscientious objectors in November. Be careful what you stay home for in November. You may have no idea of what you have enabled.

No⌠âhonest electionâ is a misnomer. Less corrupt could be a possibilityâŚusing programmed computers for voting âunites the left wing cyberpunks worldwideâ.
⌠at this point there is no reason to believe that entirely paper driven elections would be honest. Honest (as you say, less corrupt) elections belong to a world that no longer exits. The sooner the Apocalypse occurs the sooner the rebuilding can begin. There is no ability to âreformâ the system at this point.
Most respectfully, we are in complete disagreement.
Weâre in 'hold-what-ya-got" mode, and thatâs for the few of us lucky enough to indeed have any âgotsâ.
Itâs quite uncomfortable to accept the fact that it has progressed to this point, but we have to take reality on realityâs terms.
Geez, feels me with hope.
For me, an honest election would mean a viable 3rd party candidate is on the ballot and is capable of securing double digit+ of the electorate.
Both sides play games with vote redistricting, absentee balloting, etc. but the most egregious slam I can remember to the democratic (small d) process was, IIRC in 2016 the Dems went nuclear on the Green Party, and the Clintons and their henchmen had the Greens throw off the ballot in a number of states, maybe 8-12 states.
The Repubs are constantly watching and picking off their flanking contenders on the Right, the Austrian school economists, âHard Moneyâ/Mises followers, Ron Paul/Ross Perot independent types.
TL;DR
we need abolishment of the 2 party duopooly before weâll ever witness fair elections in this country.
