QOTD: WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN THE CANDIDATES YOU VOTE FOR THIS YEAR?

Dirty politics are in play here in PA. With the primary election coming up next week, Richard Grenell and Greg Kelly have been trying to tear down MAGA candidate Kathy Barnette because she has a good chance of defeating Trump’s pick, Dr. Oz. They have been tweeting and texting videos of Barnette, cutting out full sentences and eliminating context to make it look like she is saying the total opposite of what she actually said. People in PA are receiving multiple anonymous texts with these videos and lies about Barnette.

What are they afraid of?

Question of the day: With primaries and midterms coming up, if you are planning to vote, what is the single most important qualification/top platform issue you are looking for in the candidates you vote for this year?

I’m from Pennsylvania, presently living in Ecuador and don’t plan to vote. I know what happens when the vote is cast in the US. Certainly have a good idea what will happen with an absentee vote.

Many local school boards have now been mostly wiped clean of Covidists and the trend must continue.

Hence my comment above.

But the single most important qualification would be… honestly and courageously anti-NWO

I’ll see it when I believe it.

Yeah the very low turnout for the recent french election certainly said something.

If we really cared about ‘the will of the people’ and all those other blandishments about our ‘sacred democracy’ you’d get to vote for a ‘none of these candidates’ option which would trigger a new election where all the previous candidates were barred. Colombia and several other countries do this.

But I’m with you that the only way to win is to not play the game.

The one with no prior political experience, has worked a real job, maybe owns a business, has a family and speaks a message with qualities I can agree with , not filthy rich. Most importantly, has no collage education what so ever, dirt under his finger nails would be a big selling feature for me. Can shoot a buzzard off a shit wagon at 600 yards with a lever action 30-30 with no scope, that will help garner my vote..

That’s why I am reluctant to waist my time voting. There is almost never a candidate like the one referenced above

Hence why I set the bar so high for elected officials and included the lever action 30-30 with no scope at 600 yards as a pre-req. You would have to be one lucky bastard.
You want my vote you better be a fucking saint after the 2020 elections, the main reason I swore off voting. I have been voting every election cycle for the last 40 years, I never really trusted it. When they crammed their lying , cheating, bullshit up my ass in 2020 that was the final straw for me

Favorable scores on the TriPM or ICU psychopathy screening tests, no clinically diagnosed psych disorders after an in-depth psych evaluation, raised by an intact traditional family, white, Christian, male, heterosexual, married with children. Preferably has experience operating a family owned business, farm, fishing vessel, trucking company, excavating firm etc.

OK, I can count, and I know that is more than one single thing.

Since psych evaluations are never done and such people are pretty much excluded from politics, I probably will not be voting.

One trait: like Andrew Jackson would do it. A real Conservative like Margi Taylor Greene who when elected doesn’t just turn the money tables over, breaks them off in the Oligarch’s asses and prosecutes them like a democrat would; and shreds the Federal Reserve Bank Charter to a million pieces. Who goes after the Vote Fraud criminals like Elliott Ness would. Who goes after the whole NWO Covid Genocide Mob with a Nuremberg scale trial, and hangs the worst murderers like Fauci, Gates, Soros, etc. Prosecutes the Biden’s Treasons with China and Ukraine; the Russia Gate Mob; the Pizza Gate Pedophiles et all; cleans house at the FBI, DOJ, State Dept, NIH, CIA, DHS, DoD, etc; investigates the food and fuel industry fires. Holds hearings on Censorship and demand Congress pass laws to protect the Free Speech of Intelligent comment. Everyone cannot speak at the same time; there have to be rules like Hoyles etc. Every stupid comment does not deserve to be printed but a balanced board could decide. Fix the Budget; that means fix the Welfare and Warfare waste and know where the dollars go. When there is a question, the Constitution is the guide; if a question remains, ask the Court; if the Court gets it wrong, get Congress to fix it. Don’t hesitate to fire incompetent or disloyal employees and hire the best.

I’ll vote for the first candidate who promises to end any and all federal involvement in both education and law enforcement (aside from border and customs services).

In other words, it is very unlikely that I will ever again vote in any federal election; voting at the state and local level is a defensible act, and occasionally perhaps even useful.

Voting is equivalent to turning Maggie’s steering wheel. Watch The Simpson’s intro if you don’t recognize the reference. It gives you the false impression of participation, the feeling of making a difference and having fulfilled your civic duty, while diverting you from participating in things and taking actions that actually would make a difference.
