How it started...How it's going thread

One candidate was Kanye West.

Well there you go. Yeezy>Trump even though he's crazier.

Previously, unless I really liked the candidate, I would vote third party because the hope of more choice in the future was more important to me than which of the major party candidates won. But I voted for Harris. Even though I was in Oklahoma and it did not matter, I did it to protest the idea of Trump and hoping to avoid what happened, him getting a majority.

I think our founding fathers would have put more safeguards in the Constitution if they could have seen what is happening today. A maximum age. No felonies. No impeachments.

I suspect they trusted the voter to weed out any candidate harmful to the system. They could not have foreseen the misinformation age. They could not have foreseen a candidate who admits he lies to people because they will believe it. He does, and they still believe it.

One of the things I love about this board is it does a great job at inspiring thought and subsequently further research.

Your post is case in point and makes several great points.

The life expectancy in the US in 1776 was mid 30s for males. Several founding fathers lived into their 70s and 80s. The average life span of the signers of the declaration of independence was 66.

How much did that or could that have played into their debates on age issues?

He recently had "the talk." We might be in a very similar position anyway. I feel really bad him.

MTG: Republicans can't even fund homeland security. Yet they're going to pass another supplemental to fund the war in Iran. I'm still waiting on Mike Johnson to roll out that Republican health care plan that he boasted about because Americans can't even afford health insurance right now
