    No - but DoveNET IS an unmoderated forum... I feel strongly about the upcoming elections and feel we have really been dealt a terrible hand to vote over - I cannot imagine a Harris POTUS; and hate that the republican party has bowed to Trump.

    I think your post was in the right place, but don't get too stoked about much change here - like all over the county, you have to divided camps here.

    What I want is for us all to come back to the dinner table, for it to be OK that we disagree, for us all to listen AND compromise - but... 2024 and all.

    There are some other candidates running this year. However, as some people say, 3rd-party candidates probably have little chance of winning. Ideally I still feel like it's good to vote for who you think would be the best candidate, but in all likelyhood, we'll have either Trump or Harris. I feel like the US is a bit stuck in the 2-party system, and I feel like something needs to change eventually so that there's a better chance of voting in a good candidate.

    I did vote Libertarian in 2012 and 2016 because in California, if the
    Democrat was an ax murderer, they would still vote for him or her.

    I agree - we certainly need something different, and I think the JFK thing is just gonna take votes from Trump.

    In this [particularly bad situation] I prefer Trump [record] over Harris [big fat nothing burger] but am concerned... what I WANT is a completely different option;

    So I hope people think, and make a vote that they might not want to... IMO, Harris would be a damn nightmare for another long 4 years.

    I agree. The two major parties have made it so difficult for a third-party
    candidate to win by making it nearly impossible for them to get on the
    ballot in all 50 states. Last I heard, RFK Jr was still not on the ballot
    in every state.

    Same here, and same here.

    True. I have been surprised at how quickly the last 4 years have gone by
    though.

    If you look at Harris record, it's not good at all. When she was Attorney

    General of California. She had 9 death row inmates die on her watch and those

    They had evidence to overturn a conviction, possibly innocent. She also made

    black criminals to stay long sentences because of cheap labor. That is just

    many of what I have a problem with. She also says she is against big drug

    companies, but 3 of her biggest donors to her campaign are big pharma. She also

    has one of the worst foreign policies. I fear if she's elected we will have

    world war 3 and I don't even think she would respond if we were attacked to be

    honest.

    Nor do I. If she did respond, I am not sure she'd know how to
    appropriately.
