Don’t change the subject to for whom you won’t vote. For whom would you vote, and why? If you won’t vote at all, pfeh.
Oh I'm sorry for being ambiguous. I can't tell you who I would vote for but I can tell you the qualities I would look for and so and I would vote for. I would want to vote for someone who is a moderate. Someone who's concerned with our environment and recognizes that we are facing catastrophic events. I would want someone who would protect our country seal our borders up a little bit better certainly not deny immigration at all but at least control it or at least have a handle on it. Someone Who would allow women to have abortions legally. But I would not want to a vote for any extremist on one side or the other.. I believe in voting for people on Merit not on age race religion. And I also believe in not letting my emotions get the better of me. I believe that feelings are not facts and I don't want to make a emotional decision when I vote

If you don’t vote it doesn’t matter you have to vote to keep our democratic routes strong men and woman have suffered and died just for that single right
I very much agree with you about the men and women who have died for our right to vote. I was thinking about that all day long yesterday June 6th. Ten thousand Americans died on one single Beach on 6th June 1944. Pretty much it would be sacrilegious not to vote. However as sick as that makes me I cannot bring myself to vote for someone I have no faith or confidence in. I certainly weighs on me

names or bust. An abstract list of qualities is not a living candidate.

Trump recruits & deploys the Proud Boys on 1/6, making him part of the PB's seditious conspiracy
53,170 views Jun 7, 2022 Shortly after learning that a federal grand jury indicted members of the so-called Proud Boys group, charging them with the crime of seditious conspiracy, we then learned that the January 6 select committee public hearings will open on June 9 with a presentation about the Proud Boys plotting and planning to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6 public hearings. This video discusses: 1. the data points that support the conclusion that Donald Trump is criminally culpable as part of the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy, and 2. what we can glean from the two news stories about the Proud Boys regarding possible coordination between the Department of Justice and the Jan. 6 select committee.

Oil companies are using their experience and getting into geothermal power for residential heating as well. Standard resistance baseboard heating is 100% efficient, but heat pumps using ground loops alone can be 3 to 5 times more efficient! 1 watt in, 5 watts of heat out. The UK already produces an excess of wind power and energy storage is coming online soon to make renewables much more feasible and power grids far more efficient. The batteries are coming and there will be a lot of different kinds to choose from. I figure most of the cars in Europe will be EVs in a decade and 80% of new cars sold in Norway were electric last year. High gas prices will spur EV sales and in North America I figure they will be a second car for commuting to work from the suburbs and plugged in at home at night to top up. In a few years the second car most people have or use to go to work with will be an EV. ICE cars will be hard to find in a few years because few will be making them and gas stations will begin to shut down. In 20 years you might only be able to buy gas in a 5 gallon can, the gas stations will be mostly gone.

Hayes: Why Fox News Doesn’t Want To Air The Truth About Jan. 6
37,116 views Jun 7, 2022 Chris Hayes: “Trump has what Nixon and Joe McCarthy did not: A major news network that will run interference for the ex-president in real time. And Fox has apparently decided that the best way to shield Trump from the embarrassing truth the Jan. 6 committee will reveal in its hearings is to simply not cover them at all.”

I very much agree about Donald Trump is no good. I agree that storming the capital was idiotic and useless. I ts just I detest Biden/Harris. That absolutely does not mean that I am a trump supporter or ever was a trump supporter. It is shocking to me those that if one speaks badly about biden-harris that instantly means that they're a trump supporter..
Elections are about making a choice. Are you going to vote for the people who are saying outright that the majority must defer to the minority? The who will maintain the status quo of patriarchal white power? If the Republicans don't succeed, government will look a lot more like the majority -- a little more brown, more women in power, more diversity. Look at what the militant right are doing in Florida, stirring up fake issues and culture wars rather than address the real problems in this country. They and their billionaire backers are trying to force white conservative Christian ideology onto an unwilling super majority.

So, next election, you get to choose. Do you want fascists in charge? People who by their actions show they oppose democracy and support the leaders who orchestrated the Jan 6 attack on our democracy? Do you want that?

Biden won't last more than another term and maybe not that long. He's not a threat to you. Harris? Can she really win the nomination? If she does, you will have to choose. Do you think Democrats are the same threat to our democracy and freedom that Republicans are? Myself, I vote for who I want in the primary and vote tactically in the general election. I will never vote for the party that tried to disenfranchise the majority on Jan 6 2021 and still are trying to disenfranchise us.

Biden wasn't my first choice, btw. Still, he's leagues better than Trump was.

That's just it. I absolutely do not care about "diversity". I can not understand how people are giving positions based on gender or skin color and not merit. That is acting on emotion and totally dysfunctional. Also it is totally biased. Also just because someone dose not agree with how I think does not make them evil. However I believe these problems have gone way being solved by elections. For the most part people are thinking emotionally like bleeding hearts rather then thinking rationale. Instead of giving people positions because they are fit for the job they are giving positions because say it's a man dressed like a women and oh isn't that wonderful. Or a position is giving to someone beof the color of there skin yet totally incompetent. Incredible. I have to say us going back and forth is not going to solve a thing. Unbelievable

Sam, that is a weird take on diversity. Do you really think I would want to hire a man dressed as a woman? That's utterly ridiculous. Your post reminds of the joke about the argument that men tend to choose higher paying jobs like doctor, lawyer, engineer whereas women tend to chooe the lower paying jobs like female doctor, female lawyer, and female engineer.

I don't think it's fair or wise to hire people based on skin color or gender. I think people should b hired for there ability weather they b Man, Women, Black ,White or purple I think people should b hired based on there qualifications. For instance the new White house spoke women. First thing she says is I am the first black gay women to hold this position. As if that has any bearing whatsoever on the qualifications for the job. That makes no sense to me.
