None of the Above?

Would a None of the Above choice be a blessing or a curse?
If a none of the above vote won a majority of the votes, it would clearly show the People's disgust with whom they are forced to vote for.
But then what would happen? A revolution? A new election?

Trump is not perfect
he is NOT a life-long politician
he brought Peace to the World with the Abraham Accords
we are NOT choosing a Saint
we want someone that will fight and he has shown that he will
he could have just walked away and avoid all these fake legal issues
name someone better or STFU
no democrat is qualified, none, not one, same goes for 3rd party fools (green commie, RFKjr)
being a democrat or ex-democrat means you were a member of the party of traitors, so not qualified for ANY position in government
He trusts all the wrong people.
Just look at how many people he trusted and put in his cabinet, only for them to turn around and stab him in the back.
I hope he's learned to be more discerning.
Yes, Trump isn't perfect, but his four years in office have proven one thing clearly, very clearly, he's the best man in the oval office in the 50 years I've been voting.
That's really all that should matter to us at this late hour.
If you have a better choice, man or woman, put their name forth.
But understand, the hour is getting late to field a new horse in this race.
The DemonRats have bet all their chips on a broken back mule. Great.
And to think, all their alternatives poll even worse!
Doesn't this define Galt's Gulch?
Anyone taking a look at this board can give points if memory serves old dino correctly before becoming a fully posting Gulcher 10-and-a-half years ago.
Can a newbie "-1" to a Gulcher? Don't think I even tried that way back when.
I'm 77 and have found I have trouble remembering stuff fro time to time.
Lately I've had a senior moment recalling the name of a grocery store I frequent and that it's fried oche that I like with a combo order at Church's Chicken.
If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous. So I think I'll be okay. Uh, did I just write "think?"
Then my father became so senile he could not recognize me his eldest along with the rest of my brothers. He died one day before his 99th birthday.
Biden just called to say you misspelled it :-)
I'm divorced. Listening to what I had to turned very bad. Now I don't have to.
Why am I thinking of that "Born Free" song?
How many, who work for the Federal government (elected or hired), are that strong?
you have been told millions could die if you do nothing
By very early April of 2020, I knew that it selectively targeted the ACE-2 receptor and that COVID was genetically modified to have more arginine amino acids and therefore be more likely to make COVID stick better to connective tissue. By then, I was selling an ultraviolet disinfection device. My company was promptly doxxed by search engines for promoting "disinformation". I was right, and the so-called experts were wrong. Although my wife, a nurse, caught COVID not long after that, I didn't catch it until after being forced to take a shot (not a vaccine) in July of 2020. I did not miss a day of my "day job" of being a professor during COVID, but got over it in two or three days not long before university re-started. There was plenty of evidence that Fauci and the Chinese were lying.
The only person in this forum that might know more about COVID is Abaco.
the POTUS needs to listen to what he is told and work with that
he is NOT God
he was given that millions would die
he acted on that
and he actions after, sending aid to New York shows what kind of person he is
Trump did fairly well given that the advisors he had, but it wasn't hard to figure out the Chinese and Fauci deceptions. Rand Paul figured it out almost as fast as I did.
Has America reached a tipping point at which the inhabitants of the three branches and three million Federal employees need to de-control or face Revolution?
Many looters and many moochers are encouraging each other (mostly via illegal immigration) to gaslight producers like us. We don't want an armed revolution, but will it ever get bad enough that it will be necessary?
Since the word "inability" is used I think the answer must be "yes". It indicates that something fundamental is broken. It would literally force the "power wielder's" hand.
All government positions are susceptible to corruption because they necessarily involve the "use of power". Thus I believe term limits must be applied uniformly throughout government (perhaps a maximum of 8 years, like the president). Perhaps these might be a good starting point: 1) Once a government position has been held no further government position may be held, elected or otherwise. 2) Government lobbying is not permitted once a government position has been held. 3) Hired government positions are selected from a qualified candidate list by lot.
Would your term limits apply to the 3,000,000 Federal Bureaucrats and employees also?
It would indeed apply to all of them. In fact I think that it must. I also think that it would naturally influence government bureaucracies to be kept as small as needed.
but i cheated, i read the end of the Bible
if and when something bad happens, the parasite among us are screwed
those that saw problems coming and prepared will weather the storm
It's a travesty that the American people let it get to this point, but there's little value in trying to put that genie back in the bottle.
What this country would need is a crisis, like another World War or an alien invasion (the OTHER aliens) where a strong, Constitutionally grounded, candidate might get us back on track.
Any question of Individual Rights, Limited Government, and Laissez Faire Capitalism would stump both of them.
Perhaps his intent is to make the election so one sided in his favor that cheating will be obvious even to the Traitors in the SCOTUS.
I do agree that there is no obvious candidate that is truly a defender of the Bill of Rights and constitutional limits on government power.
Ron Paul was a real gem.
Trump might be able to come close if he learns to listen to advisers who understand and support the constitution.
+1 for my new favorite nickname!
Also, his answer about the vaccine was MUCH better "I help get the vaccine done quickly. But THIS GUY MANDATED IT. And it's the MANDATES that people were upset about!"
I am sorry you did not notice those as direct answers. They were.
Where he could have done better: "Will you accept the results of the election?" (Certainly. Especially if the democrats accept the results of their Primaries!)
THAT would have been priceless!
The point of the "debate" was to get out the things he (and Biden too, had Biden been sentient) wanted the American people to know, whether or not it answered a direct question by the moderating parties. Why? Because the questions they asked were nothing special, and that format could have been used (whether it was or not) to ask questions that were prejudicial. Actually I don't remember the questions other than the ones you mention.
I do think he missed a HUGE bet when accused of "having sex with a porn star," not mentioning that not only did he not have sex with a porn star, but if he had, it'd be immeasurably better than taking a shower with his own pre-teen daughter.
OUCH. Yeah, I think Trump would see that as "Staining her"... For the same reason he never insults Bidens voters! Just my guess.
But yes, I don't think the job is to answer the questions, because this whole "Accepting the outcome" question is a trick. HOW MANY Republicans SWORE they would support whoever one the Primary. And then DENOUNCED Trump. The IDIOT in OHIO comes to mind. My answer. Just tell them what they want to hear. In the end, an EXCEPTION is just that!
Probably so. There IS a line too far....but it seems only the good guys are willing to not cross it.
If we just took away the ability of the government to take from one and give to another, it would simplify the process of democratic elections. That way, the vote would be for an administrator to run the powers of the government most efficiently. No more lobbyists, since the government people couldn't redistribute citizens' money to the preferred classes
The people need to Shrug or Revolt.
Al Capone and John Gotti would have loved to write the 16th Amendment "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.".
The Federal Government became a mobster in 1913 and its only gotten worse since.
If you don't vote, you have no say (one way or the other) in the outcome.
Apathy has it's cost.
A "none of the above" would be the last peaceful attempt to force the fools running the Federal Government to come to their senses before the bloodshed of a second bloody Revolution becomes necessary to bring them to their senses!!!
too many now vote themselves stuff at the expense of others, 100% unconstitutional, but it seems that ship sailed long ago.
welfare
medicare
medicaid
minimum wage (that being tied to government worker wages)
could be a long list
that vote was clearly stolen from me (and millions of others)
