Too Far

Is it going too far to say we're officially a bullshit country now? Or, that the Constitution has become a bad meme? The rule of law is suspect, maybe gone? The powers in the backroom prevail? Government and media are complicit? Agencies function as political muscle?

Going back thirty years, never been a Donald Trump fan. Cannot imagine ever being one, given his personality. But, I'm disgusted with the mayhem his enemies have resorted to, so fearful he could win another election. The dopey Democrats are morally blinded by this fear, willing and able to violate every principle of legal sovereignty to ensure Trump can never again be a candidate. Without massive, proven and conceded vote harvesting, and other shenanigans, Democrats aren't confident at all. 

I'm afraid that the system may be broken beyond repair when political rivals are targets of wokely weaponized government goons following orders. It's highly likely the loony zealotry of Trump haters will destroy more than his chance to run, but also the trust in America's keenly balanced institutions. 

Nancy Pelosi has it exactly wrong, but it's also saying the quiet part outloud, when she says Trump will "have his chance to prove his innocence." Not how it works, Nancy, unless we're a bullshit country now, the new banana republic.

Binary

Binary choices are always ruthless by nature. One applicant, controlled and scripted, parsing every public word. The other, reflexively candid, never stops talking and self-promoting.  Love or loathe, or some pragmatic in-between view, the binary choice couldn't be simpler. With both candidates, prior agendas will continue, with one big contradiction.  Harris can not claim both realities: Harris can not say there is "no space" between Joe Biden, but also reversing now on so many issues. So far, there's no explanation with weeks remaining.  Methodical hiding is a strategy as Basement Biden successfully proved. But, it's the opposite of both transparency and credibility.

Be Wary

Be wary of smiling pundits. Disagree, if you can. But, the following is true by my experience: there is no longer a free and fair press in the US.  News platforms have become propaganda pushers of corporate and political policy. American investigative journalism is dead. Facts take a back seat to spin. Narrative is more crucial than accuracy of source.  News stories are too often headlined with brazenly misleading distortion, intentional inclusion and exclusion based on whatever supports their self-interest. What you accept as verified fact can greatly affect your life. Do your own research, check important stories of interest independently. Who's behind the message that is so ardently promoted?  News networks, today, cannot be trusted to adhere to codes of conduct that prioritize truth and impartiality. Power politics and their myopic, partisan agents are the information players on your screens, hoping to influence. Be wary of smiling pundits.

Strictly Opinion

360°, every view is a bad one in this election. The scripted, ugly political machinations are typical. It is continually painful and regrettable that crass personalities and openly flawed characters must be factored out with both starkly undesirable candidates.  Racial identity, gender, bombastic rhetoric, and shallow, transitory issue positions are all thoroughly irrelevant now. Capability does critically matter. The biggest picture voters must consider a singular, consequential question: Which presidential candidate do America's sworn archenemies clearly and desperately favor?
