Comment on Americans split on who they trust to do a better job as president: POLL

Hey finally! Representation in the media! I don’t like either of them.
I wish we had two better people running. I don’t see Trump as a “Republican”. He’s his own beast. I know people from all parties who jumped on his bandwagon.
I’m not overly thrilled with the current Republicans but I’m hoping the next generation will get us back on track. I want to see less religion in the party, less social conservatism and pro-business but not a slave to companies.
We already see the next generation of republicans as less socially conservative and more pro environment.
Hmm it’s an interesting use of the words “social conservatism” to describe people who would vote for someone with 91 criminal charges.
Most those charges are banana republic crap. They are attacks on his politics. That’s how scared the democrats are of Trump.
Social conservatives are more focused two adult males having sex than the trumped up charges.
I don’t care if two men have sex as long as I don’t have to see it. I believe the government should stay out of things that are not harmful.
Well it just goes to show the hypocrisy of evangelical and socially conservative voters. Jesus never said anything about gay people but there is a direct quote from Jesus in the book of Matthew about divorce. Trump is on his third wife and was unfaithful at least once if news reports are to be believed.
What a choice: The old and confused current president hands out bombs with one hand and humanitarian aid with the other. The other option is a rapist and criminal up to his eyeballs in debt for his misdeeds. These are symptoms of a system that is breaking down.
Trump was most recently indicted on 13 criminal counts by a Fulton County grand jury in Georgia state court related to his alleged attempts to overturn the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
Separately, Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury on 4 counts in a criminal proceeding in Washington, D.C., also related to his alleged attempts to overturn the will of the voters and interfere with the 2020 presidential election results.
Trump has also been indicted by a different federal grand jury in Florida on 40 counts in relation to both obstructing an investigation into, and his unlawful retention of classified documents after his presidential term.
Finally, Trump has been indicted on 34 counts in a criminal proceeding in New York State Court related to hush money payments made to an adult film star during the 2016 presidential campaign.
All of the grand juries that decided to indict Trump were are made up of local citizens randomly chosen from the jury pool.

Agreed. It is way past time to reform our electoral system to give third parties a chance through star and approval voting.

Would be cool if we had a universal rating system like yelp reviews, but for politicians. Ted Cruz sitting at a galactic 1.4 stars, Trump rocking 0.9 stars, Obama with like a 3.5, and then a ton of third party candidates with 4 or 5 stars, all with relevant written reviews. Economy’s shit? You voted in a 1-star fascist, so of course you got 1-star quality. Alabama became the second most educated state in the country? Those 5-stars are absolutely killing it. Keep it up Alabama. Feel like nothing’s getting done in your home state? Check those reviews, boot out the 3-stars and below. They’re not taking their job seriously enough. Remember to take the time to review your senator during midterms!

Reviews don’t even work well to judge restaurants and apps, why would they be any better for politicians?
