Remember that "journalist" who admitted, in an interview on iirc "Joe Rogan" or something, that CNN+NYT++ systemically "shut down" progressive issues, & progressive voices, in that election..

I'd been wondering what the hell was wrong, but .. propaganda "journalism" won a "battle" I hadn't even known was being waged..

Now, of course, the deck is getting stacked,.

the economic house-of-cards still is being propped-up by China & the US ( different parts of it: the fake-economy of China, & the issue 7x as much currency, but pretend that that doesn't cause 700% inflation idiocy in the US ).. but it must come down.

IF that economic house-of-cards comes down before the election, then the incumbent is hosed.

Period.

It's a slam dunk election for the outsider, then.

You'd better pray, successfully, for that economic-collapse not happening, until after the election, then, eh?


Being the old cynic that I am, I'm expecting the republicans to win, to revert the US to Jim Crow's "reality", & to finish the Civil War that they pretended to surrender in, so long ago.

Gutting NATO, backing Russia, the whole everything that Trump promised..


I'd be preparing, not praying.

( & am, tbh: health's improving.. )
