here’s a response from a friend of mine to a “share” post of mine yesterday.
PLEASE do not say harsh or hostile things to him (or me) in the comments, though thoughts, ideas, perspectives, and personal feelings and experiences are welcomed. I just can’t endure attack or denigrating language because it hurts my heart. I understand people are triggered from all sorts of political trauma suffered in the last 8 years just putting up with reprehensible behavior on both sides…My bud is a libertarian / independent I think…viewing the two party system with skepticism as an empty facade for the powers that actually govern things globally. He’s a great friend. Read on if interested!
“In response to your political post:
Basically, the Democrats will have run 4 fake primaries in 3 election cycles. That's probably a record that will never be broken. We know the fix was in for Hillary in 2016 thanks to WikiLeaks. A congressman openly admitted that they forced Mayor Pete and others out and kept Warren in to make sure Biden won in.
Meanwhile, In 2016, the Republican specifically gamed their election system to try to keep outsiders like Trump from hanging around and distracting from their chosen candidate. Instead, it blew up in their face and Trump was the one who got out to an early, insurmountable lead. They ended up getting him three times in a row. So, for all of Trump's faults, the damage he has done to the neocon Republican establishment who gave us the Iraq War is kind of delicious.
We don't pick the president. We never really have in our lifetime.
Remember, none of these people care about you. But, I do.”
