Sorry guys, I'm out ...

... of politics, that is.

I'm so disgusted with my country's politics that I just can't. We are going to elect a president this autumn and the two best people we can put up there for consideration are Trump and Biden? Really? Sorry, but I am out.

This doesn't make me any less political as a person. I may continue to write about my passionate views on our individual rights as free persons, but I see this election as a chose between the lessor of two evils.

I grew up very engaged in electoral politics. I participated in mock government programs and even argued my positions in the well of the Massachusetts Senate Chamber. I'm NOT pulling back here out of apathy or indifference, but out of disgust.

I turned 18 in 2013 so my first presidential choice was 2016:
- 2016: Trump v Clinton
- 2020: Trump v Biden
- 2024: Trump v Biden, the sequel

I have friends here from every corner of the political map and I love you all, but I just can't. So, many of you may have noticed that I've already stopped hearting or replying to your political posts. Please don't take this as any kind of repudiation (or support) of one side or the other. I'm just out. 😐

Fully Understandable
New Zealand are still taking immigrants I think.
Refugees anyway 🤣

@KiwiBird The immigrant issue it's not even related to why I'm pulling out of the Presidential question.

The immigrant issue is easy to discuss and would be easy to resolve if either side really wanted it resolved.

@sarabee1995 I was meaning New Zealand would take you 🤗

It wasn't pointed at any issues in the US.

@KiwiBird Oh! I totally missed that. With everything going on right now in my life I think that would be perfect!!!

@sarabee1995 I realise you missed my intent and I didn't realise immigration was such an issue domestically in the US.
