[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Trump and Biden campaign workers will be quick to respond to this with the usual "No, Trump and Biden are the only choices. Shut up and pick one." The heck with those people. The futures of my children and grandchildren are much more of a concern for me than the feelings of campaign workers.[/quote]

Either Biden or Trump will win the election.[/quote]

Exactly.  Raging on DCUM is not going to change that.  Rage on or grow up but it is still going to be one or the other.[/quote]
You really, really think Americans are ignorant enough to vote in Trump or Biden again? Really? Maybe we aren't the ignorant ones and you are.[/quote]

You really really think there is an alternate scenario?  Have at it.  Please explain who and how.[/quote]
Here is one. Biden is convinced to back out of the 2024 race by his family, political network, and the many, many Americans that don't want Trump to be elected for a second term and vocal enough to convey this message to Biden and the DNC. One of the many Dem governors that would be viable POTUS candidates takes a commanding lead in the primary polls and forces the hand of the RNC and voters on the right to jump ship from Trump after they see that Trump stands absolutely no chance against any Dem candidate not named Biden. We end up with two normal candidates for the voters to choose from and most importantly, we are guaranteed a Trump-free White House. Or we can bend over, be quiet and flip a coin to decide if Trump retakes the White House. Which do you choose?[/quote]

I choose to replace Washington DC with a random number generator.  We'll get much better results than from what we have had there for the last three decades.[/quote]
I don't think extremes are necessary. We need just a few good leaders to step up and the dominoes will fall as needed in Washington.[/quote]

We've been on a bad path for a long long time.  Do you see something changing that I don't?  Do you see change with the vested interests we've had building in DC for a lifetime?[/quote]
That change isn't currently in plain sight but again, it just takes a few good leaders to surface. They are out there. We need to somehow recruit them and welcome them into our current toxic political landscape so that the detoxing can begin. [/quote]

First of all, you have to recruit people into a S storm that has been Waashington DC for thirty years.  It's like a torture chamber where half the country is discontent no matter what you do. Everyone is trying to overthrow everyone.
Then you have to get the monetary incentive out. Good luck with that. No legislation fixes that. I can assure you it just goes underground and becomes an all-cash with backroom deals situation.
What we have today in the USA are a bunch of spoiled brats who want everything, and they don't want to pay for it - they want "the other guy" to pay for it.

Detoxing is impossible - you end up with government edicts like the "Disinformation Governance Board".   Seriously, when we cite other countries for "democracy", "freedom" and other buzzwords, we have nothing to talk about.

Your turn.[/quote]
I don't disagree with most of what you're saying but I do still have hope. When our country's poor leadership eventually causes a deterioration in the quality of life for not just the poor but all classes of people, Americans will finally wake up and demand change with their voting habits. When all citizens get a taste of some of the hardships poor people experience everyday, we will no longer tolerate just such BS as POTUS general election match-ups of candidates as weak as Trump and Biden. We are, at are core, better than that.[/quote]
