Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
@Crash: It's true that the two options are not great, but they are the only ones actually available. Not the only ones conceivable, but actually available. Until that changes, if it ever does, that's the way it is. Box "a" or box "b". Pick your poison.
And THEY'RE not perfect, either. I find myself lately not becoming conservative, but keeping some distance between myself and some of the more nonsensical ultra-Left (and ultra-Right!) assertions and policies. I don't agree 100% with the Greens/Socialists, either. But they do represent REAL change, not some rearranging near the edges of the picture.
No surprise there. And I can vote Green/Socialist and not worry too very much at all that the Repugnants will win the State of Hawaii in the Nov. Election. Hawaii is deep, deep Blue. If the Dems take HI, it will be no surprise to anyone. If we could kill the stupid Electoral College, so that one person/one vote actually were the prevailing state of affairs, maybe I'd be persuaded to vote Dem. But only to prevent the Repugnants from winning. It would be a vote for the lesser of two evils, which is a truly suck-ass situation.
Old Skeet hit the nail on the head. The Left will do anything to try to defeat Trump including promoting the radical Left agenda. While Trump may not have polish and goes through a lot of executive staff, his ideas speak the truth. By the way, why isn't Biden ever shown speaking these days by the Democratic party and its supportive media? Has this Board gone liberal, or is it that the liberals like to shout out their outrage these days and the conservatives prefer to lie in weeds waiting for November?
"The Left will do anything to try to defeat Trump including promoting the radical Left agenda."
And the "right" won't do anything of the sort, of course, being righteous, pure as snow, and never having been caught doing anything underhanded or even the least bit slimy.
Once again: I posted a specific list of easily observable and well documented charges against the man currently posturing as "president". Could you please reciprocate so that we may make an informed comparison?

And the right's radical agenda? 'Own' the entire justice system, corrupt the democratic process through gerrymandering & voter suppression activities, let one fringe slice of religion dictate what a woman can do to her body and/or who can marry/sleep with who and tell anyone less-off than they are that their wellbeing doesn't matter. That's the "radical" agenda of the so-called 'right' ... and is more sinister and insidious than anything the 'left' is up to b/c much of their interest lies in simply obtaining and maintaing power at all costs, even if it means to 'rig' the system (ie, my first two points).
re: gerrymandering and voter suppression. I see it as the last gasp effort to remain in power... they see the future... packing the courts is their last stand which unfortunately will last a while.
I'm quite sure the presidential debates will reveal "documented" charges against Biden. I'd be more worried about his mental health at this point. But here are a couple of nuggets:
That's all you got redwing. Some meme laden twit feed? See why you're just not believable. Get real. Have a discussion. Oh wait, OJ has already tried that. Pretty sad when you can't come up with a list of talking points or accomplishments (excuse the joke) for your dear leader.
Redwing, I've given you a reasonably comprehensive itemized indictment against the current "president". Obviously you are unable to respond with a similar list against Mr. Biden. Lots of hat; no cattle.
Old Joe & David, do you mean comprehensive and documented evidence as presented by the liberal media? I would agree that the Democratic controlled House would consider their impeachment try as their greatest recent accomplishment. We will all see how America sees it in November.
If all of the reporting in the "liberal media" is "fake", as you appear to believe, please provide evidence from respected and believable alternative sources, that my list is incorrect. The Wall Street Journal might be a good place to start. (The actual news sections, not the editorials.)
The Trumpster is an immoral, narcissistic child, whose thoughts = childish, contemptible bullshit. Feces, plain and simple. That's all anyone needs to know.

One is fatal to the nation, that much is true.
