My agenda is guessing. I always do predictions, betting and won 3 times in the past... in VP choices.. Al Gore, Biden and Tim Kaine.

My sources are own guessing + filtering of news articles.

@St-Sinner I would have added that to the piece, but that's just me.

@St-Sinner I believe it is predictt.com where a friend of mine "invests" on his political speculations. He has made close to 2k "not gambling" legally. It may be another site. If I discover it, and you are interested I will post. Not my thing, although my lady friend says I should. Too late for this cycle to make any real cash without a big risk.

@Beowulfsfriend
I am interested. Thank you.

Lol, I am not although you think that because I am a truth teller on both sides.

@TheMiddleWay

I agree.
That is because people don't change although they change labels.

@TheMiddleWay everyone who invents anything thinks it will somehow "bring people tigether" or "establish world peace" or whatever. Google "Nobel Prize".

@TheMiddleWay This is obviously a real quote from him. Where did you find it, though?

@JeffMurray ummmm, "slug" is highly biased, and suspect.

@AnneWimsey You believe @admin didn't actually say that?

@JeffMurray Where? When? I ASSume nothing..."sounds like something....." is just BS

@AnneWimsey You said:

@JeffMurray ummmm, "slug" is highly biased, and suspect.

I was asking if your distrust of that website makes you think the admin didn't actually say what they attributed to him.

Right!

Absolutely, we need her to stay in the senate unless we would have a majority without her.

@starwatcher-al Possible, but even if, why would we narrow the margin if we could avoid it?

Got some baggage but then everyone does.

I agree, especially from toss up seats. But safe seats should be ok, right... like Warren in MA, another in California?

@creative51 Without proportional representation WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE ONLY TWO PARTIES. Belonging to a third party is just a more vocal way of abstaining from elections.

@creative51 You don't know me at all, yet you make assertions, and assumptions about me. That imho is also part of the problem.

I actually do a lot more that complain, especially in this case where I know a lot of people agree that the whole system it tarnished.

First off the whole notion of voting only for a party rather than for whom I agree with and on their merits. is also part of the problem.
I guess one of the key points there was that I do in fact vote. That IS doing something.

One of my main gripes about this broken system goes farther than just the politicians , it has to do with the people, the voters.
Far too many are so polarized as to not even come to 'the table' so to speak, and have a civil conversation. They rather post stupid memes on social media all day. Both side are guilty of this, and I'm up in their grill about that all the time. So in essence, I am a snowflake to some, and a Nazi to the others. And the kicker is that I get called that from the same comment.
That same thing applies to those that hold seats in every branch of our government, save a few here and there. Both of these need to change.

I also have, and will continue to support those who I do believe can make a difference.
Just because I don't have any admiration for the politics of either Trump, or Biden does not mean I do nothing.

@creative51, @JeffMurray Even with so called 'representation', our system is fairly fucked. I don't think adding a third party would be any solution. I honestly thing that the WAY the two party system is set up is what a once good thing gone horribly wrong. I don't just blame they system. I also blame the voters for not doing their share. And by share, I mean do some actual looking into the candidates. strengths, weaknesses, merits. Will they stand up for me, or just into it to make a paycheck etc.

@TristanNuvo Our system is DEFINITELY fucked; you don't need to temper that claim. But to be clear, I'm not saying we should or shouldn't add a third party, I'm saying without proportional representation, you CAN'T add a third party.

A common misconception about lawyers, on either side, is that they have some kind of choice in defending or prosecuting to the very best of their ability, regardless of their personal feelings. Like doctors, they have a Duty not to judge!
