i swear this is the last of any thing remotely related to politics i will ever publish. i have given it up because it has ceased to make sense and relies on hate and personal and party ambition, NOT on how to do what is right for a diverse country, financially, culturally and in oh so many other ways. i’m not watching news except for local, sports and weather. i will vote but it will be difficult to choose because there simply no good choices on any political race. Just thought i should warn you.

i am 80, a year plus younger than Joe Biden, about a year and half older than Donald Trump. i recognized my synapses and thought processes no longer worked as well as they used to as i moved on from a decade ago. My ideas about things have been formed over 80 years of living, much of that is no longer relevant. The world has changed. The two major candidates share those things with me. Even if i had the backing, financial and public support, i would have difficulty in deciding what was best for my country, as in a number of situations, there isn’t a right answer, there are only choices of what could be the better answer. i would not run and if elected, i would not accept.

Having noted that, i am supposed to choose between two doddering, old, self-centered politicians more focused on their personal success backed by two parties who have nothing closely related to promote what is best for the country, but only to get the advantage politically. i have tried to make decisions on the parties’ platforms, but those platforms are only marketing bullshit bashing of the other side.

i certainly don’t have the experience to navigate the mined waters of no-quarter politics, but quite frankly, i would make a better president than the two old narcissistic farts with oversized egos. Just don’t vote for me.

All i ask is for you to consider what is your best choice between these two horrible choices. Unfortunately, voting for an alternative is like throwing your vote away.

George Washington was right.
