2024 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

[username]

Ur still putting forth some perhaps reasonable criticisms of the US economic system without offering solutions. Trump has hinted that he’d like to control the Federal Reserve. I don’t think THAT’s a good idea. Is there a country that you think is “getting it right”? I’m trying to hear from you what ur for/not what ur against. Although I definitely think that trusting the basic moral integrity of our POTUS (and ideally other elected representatives) is essential. I’m not naive and I don’t totally trust any of them but until Trump, I’ve never felt as threatened by what a POTUS might do.

Based on what you've said I think the ideal solution for you is to vote for Harris and hope for the best. Good luck.

That’s a non answer to what YOU think is best or what you’ll do when it comes to voting for a POTUS in this election and given the current reality in the U.S.

I have a lot of wishes and complaints about our current system but it is what it is right now so I’m dealing with that reality (and yes, under these circumstances I’m definitely voting for Harris). 

I think I’ve already said a dozen times that I’d like to see major campaign finance reform and I’d include in that dollar limits for each candidate (so they all had an equal budget), get rid of PACs and generally take the monetary incentive (to the degree possible) out of politics. So no candidate(s) would be indebted to lobbyists and special interest groups. Fuck, I’d rather they get some small flat amount from tax dollars (each) vs constituents, corporate donors or special interest groups. I’d like a third or fourth party option.

But that’s not what we’re dealing with in 2024 by any stretch.

The only thing that might clean it up fast enough to save this country would be to pay for everything with public funds. Completely eliminate private money so that it's a contest of ideas rather than a fundraising contest.

It would take a revolution to do that because people do not relinquish power without a fight.

 We agree!!
