I ask the same question everyday. The "missing votes" might have made a difference.
This vote was particularly difficult to understand given that the entire platform, and current performance was clearly laid out for anyone to read on Project 2025

@KunsanVeteran things are getting really frightening, while he and his family amass a vast fortune off of our backs?

I voted, but with the electoral system that we have, my vote in Texas never counts because it is a red state.
exexec · 70-79, C
@BrandNewMan Not exactly. In Texas, if you vote for the Democratic candidate for President, your vote is useless since all electoral votes will go to the Republican. I still vote. We don't have a true democracy when it comes to Presidential elections.
BrandNewMan · M
@exexec Thats not just Texas .. kinda my point. Its is the system and its not always working in your favor .. kinda like 2008 and 2020 for me

@exexec Yes. You got it

Obviously there's no difference in the results we get with our two parties, they're politically identical.
People don't care enough to like, understand politics and have a third party that's different - one that opposes the genocide or the wars or the lack of socialism. People are pretty okay with the endless wars, the high US death rate and the low quality of life. They're pretty much not okay with the alternatives.

@Roundandroundwego I don't know if you like him or not, but Jeffrey Sachs has laid out a fair amount of (real) truth in the past few months.... look it up on Youtube if you're interested.

@JollyRoger he's been at it since before the internet.
Not like people aren't educated! They're conservative. they're getting democracy.

@swirlie Thanks: How much do you charge for speaking at a university convocation venue?
Funny you should ask, J.R.! 💵
I am often invited as a guest speaker at business venues specifically targeting entrepreneurial young business women who are either in the process of starting their own business, or have been operating their own corporate enterprise from the basement of their home as a one-woman circus act.
There is absolutely no college or university course that a male or female student can take that will teach them how to start their own business, even if their business venture is a lemonade stand at the end of their parent's driveway.
This is because university business degrees and dedicated business colleges anywhere in the world including the USA, DO NOT teach their students how to start and operate a business from scratch.
What those learning institutions teach however, is HOW to become a good employee for some guy who owns the corporate business!
A business Degree therefore, teaches generalized specifics about corporate functioning, but does not ever teach you how to start a business yourself!
You can get your Masters in Business Administration and all you will know in the end when you're handed your Degree during convocation, is how to be an effective business administrator in the corporate world. In other words, you are now qualified to be a highly sought-after employee who holds an MBA as credential to one's ability to learn new things.
But a Masters or a PhD in business will never teach you 'how' to start that same corporate business that you're applying for employment at, which will successfully end with one being awarded the job from a long list of other MBA applicants, leaving you sitting in that 4x6 office cubicle from 9 to 5 with his or her MBA neatly framed and hanging on one of those 3 movable walls for everyone to see who walks past your cubicle behind you!
The woman or guy who started that business whom you went to university to get a Degree for to apply for the hourly wage job offered in their corporate office, doesn't likely even have their own office in that same building!
In fact, the corporate owner of that enterprise is likely sitting on her yacht using mobile satellite internet to conduct online business meetings with all those MBA's who occupy her office space in some expensive downtown location.
The objective is to own the business and become a great EMPLOYER to worthy employees, not to work for an hourly wage to become a great employee to a worthy EMPLOYER.
Lesson #2 is, do not waste your money on buying yourself an MBA because if you're using what your MBA taught you, then you my friend are micro-managing your own corporate business and it will fail. Therefore, one does not need a business degree to start and run their own corporate business, in fact it would be better if they held no university degree at all.

@Slicker24 I support your comments. I have great difficulty understanding why in a great country of 335 million people that there is such a void of candidates. Could it be that your national party system is broken and that the 'suits' who run them are stifling the process for open selection of candidates? Didn't James Madison pen that, "Every person in the United States of America has the right to compete for its Presidency."

Like having a dementia impaired President in Biden when people did object and democratic leaders lied about his state of ability? Like having his staff run the govt .. and his autopen? Like Biden illegally letting millions enter this country and not one "activist" judge did anything to stop it and "uphold the law" . . but now oversteps their power and intereferes with correcting the mess? A political party's entire policy platform driven more by trans gender ideology and commitment to use of illegals to sway voting maps than serving the citizens of this country?
Height of hypocrisy with your line of crap considering those 4 years here.

Why do you think your opinion matters to anyone in the US given that you do not live here and have no vote/say in what happens here?
Carla · 61-69, F
@BrandNewMan when you generalized by saying... "Why your opinion matters to *anyone* in the us", you included me, as i am someone in the us. Effectively telling him he hasnt the right to voice that opinion to me.
I would not have had an issue had you expressed how his opinion matters not to...you.

@Carla Yeah, I'm all tore up about that .. 🙄
You are again saying something different about my intent to fit your agenda. He can express it all he wants. His opinion as a non-citizen lacks a legal vote to go along with it. So .. in my opinion .. his opinion is irrelevent.
How is a Canadian citizen expressing opinions this way on our politics and elections any different than supposed Russian attempts to sway the 2016 election?? I'm sure you were all about that, werent you? Its a foreign national dedicated to affecting things here. No real American should welcome this crap .. from Russia or coordinated input from a bunch of Canadians. You are only supporting it here because its aligned with your own agenda to do the same thing.

@BrandNewMan Hey... your pRESIDENT (evil) keeps knocking on us up here.... so I have every right to express my opinion about him (I guess you missed that the last time I said it). Go get yourself a MAN (or WOMAN) who will represent your country to the world in a decent and respectful and respectable way. You have a criminal who is filling his pockets for his own gain and glory... I don't feel the least bit of remorse of stating what I think of him and of people (like you) who permit your country to be downtrodden and laughed at by the rest of the world. Yes, your country is strong (I didn't say it was weak), but it is getting weaker when it should be getting stronger. tRUMP has bluffed you into having a second term in office - his behaviour and policies were bad enough during his first term. You WILL come to realize this mistake eventually, but the sooner you do, the better! AND then ACT on it! Don't let him mock the US Constitution. Don't let him abuse minorities (you claim to be the land of the FREE?). Don't let him disable the institutions that give the American people financial, medical and educational access. BUT; You are - every day that he signs another of his ludicrous and spur-of-whim 'Executive Orders." What ever happened to your Congress? Does it still exist?

Every college grad (and grade-schooler) should understand the effects of 'abuse of power' - it's what the American Revolution sought to nullify. The American Constitution has set out the jurisprudence for the "separation of powers" and the means for dealing with miscreants: yet this current farce continues?

Now now, Portie calm down and be nice - I don't think (in your case) age can be applied as a measure of wisdom!
