It's Time For An American "Pivot to Jorgensen"
Despite-- or perhaps especially because of-- the ongoing current effort to neuter you politically.
TWO WEEKS AGO, I published my simple little list of ten acts or pledges to act that I require of either Donald Trump or Joe Biden's puppet-masters (see http://losthorizons.com/N/106.htm #2). Neither has responded, and I knew before I wrote the list that neither would agree to anything on it in a million years, anyway.
Really, my purpose was just to illustrate why no one should be hoping for another four years of Trump. The first four years of Trump's presidency has been a disaster in nearly every possible respect, with Neil Gorsuch and some regulatory reform being the only upticks in what otherwise was a 24/7 downward plummet. Four more would be likely worse, with Trump and his nutcase associated Pompeo, Haspel, Pence, and so on, freed from the constraints of re-election considerations.
Thus, everyone should be fearing such an outcome just as much as they wisely fear four years of Joe Biden's puppetmasters in power.
HOWEVER, I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT THIS YEAR, ESPECIALLY, no one need settle for either of these two bad choices. There are three reasons this is so.
First, as I pointed out at the beginning of the year (at https://losthorizons.com/N/80.htm ), CtC's revelations empower the American People to radically downsize the federal and state governments to the point that even if Attila the Hun were to take up residence in the White House or any statehouse, he would be incapable of doing great harm, as explained here.
Second, in this year of rampant and unsettling insanity in the form of Covidiocy scams and the race-and-"wokeness"-victims-hustle and assault on Western Civilization (that'd be the civilization that gave the hustlers the i-phones with which they organize their rioting), a whole lot of Americans are very ready to say, "A pox on both your houses" to the two major parties that have either brought this all on or at least whose fecklessness has prepared a fertile bed of soil in which it could flourish.
Third, Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen, PhD-- a person of far more impressive education and accomplishment than Trump and Biden combined-- is a pretty attractive and credible alternative to Trump or Biden, and on the ballot in all fifty states.
Put all three of those things together and it is impossible to say that a vote for Jorgensen would be wasted vote. Instead, there's every reason to expect that not only would a vote for Jorgensen be an honest vote-- that is, one genuinely for a candidate as opposed to a vote against another candidate (and perhaps the first one ever cast for a presidential candidate by many folks)-- but it might very well be a vote for the winning candidate.
Certainly it would be a vote for someone with people that can make a good warm-up video:
