Pendulum Politics: Our Government is Not Broken, It’s Working Perfectly

[ghionjournal.com]

(More than 90% of Americans don’t approve of Congress, Trump’s approval rating is hovering around 40%. As abysmal as these numbers are, they don’t measure the true dissatisfaction of Americans since polling companies only canvass registered voters. If you include the nearly two thirds of Americans who are not registered to vote or sit out the elections on a regular basis, it becomes evident that we are being governed without consent. The minority of people who self-identify as Democrats or Republicans are giving a veneer of legitimacy to a government that is clearly illegitimate.)

In 2016 we had roughly 48% of the registered voters as independents or non affiliated. And 52% split between republican and democrat, at 26% each. 52% of voters are helping to hold the country back from real change with continued participation in a corrupt system.

(After four years of Trump behaving like a brutish oaf and normalizing puerility, the Democrat who will be pre-selected to run against him in 2020 will most likely be someone who is radically different. Why do you think so many women are seeking the presidency all the sudden? This is not an indication of progress, it’s another hoodwink being manufactured before us.)

It seems there will be about 15 Democrat candidates in the primaries this next election.

Here they are so far (I might have missed a couple):

Kamala Harris
Julian Castro
John Delaney
Tulsi Gabbard
Richard Ojeda
Elizabeth Warren

Probables:

Bernie Sanders
Beto O'Rourke
Joe Biden
Cory Booker

...and probably 5 to 10 more.

I'll have to look into 3 of those. All the others for me are a sure never. If they are in the democratic party, it's likely a no for the 3 also.

@William_Mary Sorry, Kamala Harris has confirmed she might run. So she's not a definite yet.

@Piece2YourPuzzle I just posted an article about her from the Ghion Journal. The dirt on her is already coming out.

@William_Mary I opened the link, but haven't read it yet. Looking forward to it.
