Why? You're life has no meaning without being a wage slave and believing your identity is what you do, and not who you are?

Good luck when you retire. I've seen people like you go to drink, drugs, off themselves.

I have Jesus. I invite you to come to the table. It’s never too late.

In a significant win for Alaska voters, the state Supreme Court has decisively ruled in favor of allowing a measure aimed at repealing the controversial ranked choice voting system to remain on the November ballot.

The ruling affirms that Alaskans will have the opportunity to reject this confusing system that has muddled the state’s electoral process and left many voters frustrated.

In 2022, Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola “won” reelection in Alaska to a full term in the House in November after she defeated Sarah Palin in a special election to replace Rep. Don Young.


Peltola was the FIRST DEMOCRAT to win the House seat in solid red Alaska in 50 Years! She was only able to win the seat in the deep red state because of the conspiracy known as ranked-choice voting.

I’m voting for a person, not a political party

I’m tired as I write this. It’s been another long day at work. Some days, I feel like a slave doing shift work five days a week; other days, I’m just grateful to have a job. I want to work very badly; I made up my mind about that long ago. As someone who has a severe disability, I firmly believe that if I can work, anyone can. It’s been almost ten years, that I have been with my current company and I never want to leave. Not only do they offer great retirement investment opportunities, but they treat me right. Above all, I meet and interact with many fantastic people each day. Talking to others is part of my job. I probably speak with as many as two hundred folks a day. I don’t have to work, mind you - family is rich. They would take care of me, if necessary. I choose to work, because it’s all about making a difference in the community. I love my job, even on days like this - when I feel like I could sleep for two weeks straight. By grit, grace, sweat and a little luck, I have clawed my way to a respectable place in my community and society. I go to church every Sunday and thank the Lord, because I must remember to be grateful. It’s not about me; it’s about serving Jesus. Even though I am disabled, my disability has nothing to do with the individual I have become. I’m proud of where I am and want everyone out there who struggles to have the same opportunities I have had. I take nothing for granted these days. Furthermore, I firmly believe anyone can overcome their struggles, if given a chance. In the past two presidential elections, I have voted for Donald Trump. He sold me on making America great again - on us all doing our part. I had voted for Bush, McCain and Romney. Why stop, or leave the party? That was my reasoning. Around the time Trump began to rise, I went out and got a job. Trump was magnetic, powerfully articulate and spoke to me. Ten years later, here I am, still employed there. I sometimes feel like Trump saved my life. After all, had I bought into the Democrats’ typical spiel, I might have become a permanent basement dweller - living on social security, with no Hope or future.


Fast forward to the present. In the past ten years, I’ve spoken with many people at my job and gotten to know them. Trump supporters and Democrats, disabled vs. able bodied, young people vs. old. Black and white people, Immigrants vs. natural born citizens. You know what the common thread I see is? Everyone out there is struggling in some way and all have something in common. America is hurting right now and this is probably the most critical election we have ever seen - at least in modern times. I’m not here to build anyone up or tear anyone down anymore. Both major party’s candidates seem to be doing a great job of that themselves. If anything, I may go listen to “Rich Men North of Richmond” for the umpteenth time, after I post this. That song sums up my struggles and is an excellent theme for all who struggle.

I’m here to urge you to vote for the best person, not necessarily along party lines. A person, not a party - I’m committed to doing just that this year.

Thanks so much for reading.

I'm voting for Kamala cause tv said she got a black vagina ....and freedom abortions !

[rampart]

I'm voting for people in a party whose policies are in my best interest.

we don't really know any of these people, most will go along with their party leadership anyway.

I’m not going to say you are wrong, we all have our own reasons for why we vote for who we vote for, but I will say, I’m the opposite. I don’t vote for a person, I vote for the party. A “person” will come and go, and their positions will wax and wain, but a good strong party with solid ideals won’t change..or they shouldn’t.

I think the person should try to uphold the party’s values, not the party trying to adopt the persons values. It’s why I don’t like the notion that any person in the “leader” of their party, because the way I see it, they are supposed to be there to serve US, not the other way around. And as such, that one person doesn’t speak for me. I expect them to hold up the values of the party as a whole, not try to bring them down or change them to his own values.

So when people call me a “trumper”, that is incorrect. I don’t care who which Republican is in office, as long as they are doing the work upholding Republican ideals.


Something along those lines.

I tend to agree. Ideas are more important than people.

But the two party system has afforded Democrats and Republicans entrenched power that they have abused. Neither party holds to consistent principles, neither has ideas. They've both learned that, with their privileged positions, fear is all they need. And that's all they're selling.

As the party stands right now, Republican ideas are not good for the country.

Thanks for your post and I can appreciate that - it’s important, first and foremost, to vote. We all do indeed have our reasons for why we vote for who we do. I respect where you are coming from and am not really here to try and sway anyone. It’s important that we all vote our conscience - after all, voting is one of the greatest freedoms and privileges we have as Americans. I applaud the integrity of anyone who casts an honest and sincere vote - we all have different struggles, opinions and stories (that form our political beliefs) and I am not here to trash that.

I will be voting for Chase Oliver, for the opposite reason that you’re voting for Trump. I like Oliver, because he never went to college (yet is more intelligent and articulate than most career politicians). He’s sincere and genuine - he speaks to me. I believe he is the best person for the job. I don’t think voting for the presidency is a popularity contest, but a process which requires deep thought and consideration. No job is beneath Chase, either. He worked and slaved for over ten years in the restaurant business, before getting into politics. He’s young, refreshing to listen to and I agree with most, if not all of his positions. He’s the perfect candidate for me.

If I voted for a party, I would vote for Trump. I voted Libertarian in the Bush/Gore election, too - Harry Browne was a fantastic candidate and would have made a wonderful president, imo. This will be the first election since then, that I have departed from Republican Party lines.

But, to each his or her own. I won’t tear down the two major parties’ candidates any longer. After all, they are doing a great job of that themselves. Going forward, I will be plugging for the little guy; the underdogs and dark horses like Oliver. That’s because it’s my personal opinion that we have arrived at the present crisis because of career, do nothing politicians. That and bullies like Trump. Enough said.

Is deliberately letting in millions of illegals who receive better benefits (funded by the US taxpayer) than Americans in need good for the country?

Hint: No.
