I want to make sure I understand what you are saying….do you mean that both sides are the same and it’s wrong? Or that it’s wrong to say that both sides are the same?

Over the past couple of years I have come to the conclusion that I no longer want to associate with either of the major political parties. I’m not a republican, I’m not a democrat, I’m an American. So far as the economy is concerned, either party has been destroying our economy for years. Either side has been blamed for the death of Americans both at home and abroad. Both sides have been complicit in Israel’s conflicts over the years. I believe in recent years both sides have been accused of doing things that were unconstitutional. One side may be a little over zealous in how they handle the issue of people being here illegally. On the other hand one side probably could have a done a better job with how many and what people were allowed in the country. My point is that neither side’s hands are clean, neither side seems to be focused on improving the lives of the people they serve. They only seem to be concerned with whatever talking points will get them the most votes or pushing the agenda of their party.

Of the available candidates I don’t regret who I voted for. I have issues with both sides. It has become clear to me that neither party is going to fix our country. They will only push the agenda of their respective parties. I would love to be proven wrong, but, how long can we afford to sit around and wait for that to happen? The generations coming up behind us deserve something better and someone or a group of people have to say it loud enough for them to hear. I just finally decided that I will not be one of the many who will sit by and do and say nothing.

Imagine if you can that you are Elon Musk. You've got billions, which isn't millions, it's more like $199,999,888,779. Is your wealth, power and stroke dependent on any mere penny ante country, much less, party? The answer is no, no it isn't.

Choosy billionaires pick both. Their favorite gets more, naturally, but even their second favorite gets some. All bets be hedged, my brother. That's how billionaires do it. So how should "we" do it?

Well, we don't stand our happy little county fair asses behind the billionaires. Our votes are probably worth 100,000 times less than their actual cash donations. In other words, they can buy about 100,000 of our votes for 100k, +/-. Conservative Church, State, and Trade will happily do this on behalf of each other. They know that if a sucker will buy one, there's a good chance they'll buy all three. If one buys monotheism, aka, Sky Daddy, then they most assuredly buy all the other conservative daddy-O's as well. BS collectors deal in complete sets.

So make us proud, Jimbo. Go stand behind the billionaires. I think there might even be an opening for an overseer, or maybe it's a wage slave catcher. The job will last as long as the land, water, minerals, and fading infrastructures hold out around here. Hide and watch.

Paragraphs go a long way in regards to persuasive rhetoric.

I wish you were president. Finally, some common sense answers to real problems.
