Yep. I’ve felt my vote has been worthless for a few years except for school bonds. I don’t support either party at this point.

Today is the anniversary of the publishing of Thomas Paine's "The American Crisis". Reading it might give people a refreshed perspective on why this experiment started. This system has its flaws, but I would rather 100% be a little unhappy about various things than 50% relish in screwing the other 50%.

Thomas Paine began this series of 16 essays in 1776 when he was serving in the Continental Army. The essays bolstered the morale of American troops in their fight with the British. General George Washington had the Crisis essays read to the troops at Valley Forge. They also strengthened...

Which is exactly why founders empowered Congress and SCOTUS to check and balance the Executive branch and each other. Anyone here old enough to remember those days?

Growing up I always viewed the Presidential election as choosing between 1st and 2nd. Took me into my late 20's to realize it's actually choosing 9th and 10th place with no choice given for the other 8. Now I'm thinking it's more like 99 and 100. Very frustrating. Where are the George Washingtons and great men of our day? As mentioned earlier I've never gotten an opportunity to vote for a candidate I would consider "great," despite MAGA's best efforts to tell me otherwise.

Can you imagine what social media would do to George Washington today given he had so little political acumen? Guy wouldn't have a chance on the Insta.

Look at what we do to every person in the running. We (the viewer-driven media) dig as deep as we can to vilify them as the ultimate idiot and enemy. I was absolutely convinced GW was a terrible human and a worse president. He damn sure wasn't either. What decent human would want that when you could go work in one of dozens of other fields and live an immensely more enjoyable life

I was disappointed when McCain lost in 08. Now I miss Obama.
1. They usually have zero relevance to a public land hunting forum.
2. They are usually started by the same small group of people.
3. The pot gets stirred by the same small group of people.
4. Some only want to start/interact on threads that are politically oriented with no relevance to politics that impact public land hunting. Obviously, they should be on a different site.
5. Some struggle to have a conversation with those who have a differing opinion, thus the person results to tags, labels, and false comparatives, in all reality, raising the surrender flag to rationale discourse. Those people are of the greatest likelihood to be those in #4 above.

Tons of wind and solar on private around my part of the world.
You counting those in your dead cat swinging? Or just wrongly assuming wind and solar is limited to public land?
Same. Much of it in cultivated fields (wind). My thought, if you are looking for a good place to put them, this would be it.
