The People Matter More than the Candidate

about 2 months ago

IMHO, the people matter more than the president. The popularion in the United States usually moves in the opposite direction of the president.

This really hasn't happened in the last few years as Trump is such a blow hard. The people I know are so thoroughly against Trumnp that they are willing to forgive any of the transgressions of the Democrats.

Trump might win.

I am not looking forward to this as he really doesn't have any policies. The promise of no taxes on tips and no taxes on overtime are loopholes. People in power are adept at exploiting loopholes. Suddently we will start seeing billionaires receiving their pay in the form of tips and over time pay.

Trump does not have a health care plan. He doesn't have a cohesive aproach to crypto.

The only real issue he has is on closing borders, deporting illegal aliens and raising tarriffs.

The US needs border security. Sadly, it is necessary to export people for crossing borders illegal and visa overstays to create a working immigration system.

My Fear

I hold that the people matter more than the president. If Trump wins, we will see the people in the country lurch to the left. If Kamala wins, we might finally see people wake up to the deep corruption of Democratic party and the deep state.

Trump is a blowhard who suppresses debate. If he wins we will probably be plunged into an long period in which people are not free to discuss issues. If Kamala wins, we might see a willingness of people in the GOP to discuss issues.

It is really a sad state of affairs.

Voting in Utah

I live in Utah where the majority of people vote in the way that the local church dictates. So, I am used to losing every election.

I found this year's ballot quite troubling. IF you look at the ballot below you will see 8 candidates for president. The second is "Lucifer."

This has thrown me into a tizzy. I usually vote for one of Lucifer's minions. I now have to decide if I should vote for a minion or for the big guy himself?

I am not sure if I am confused but if he wins, people won’t discuss things? How is that something you think is going to happen? Progressive policies have been trying to shut down free speech - look at the massive tech censorship on the big platforms. That is largely sponsored by the current left. It was the right in the past, which goes to other issues in the country with the shifts that I think are intentional and confuse people. I am just very confused about how you think those things will unfold if he wins.

This is all as well a distraction against other nefarious topics of course. It’s the same song and dance every time - the lesser of two evils are the choices. I know that the WEF is really bent on agenda 2030 - I don’t know how trump fits into that but I sure as fuck know how Harris does. Soros is not shy about showing off how much he controls the current crop of left leaning politicians. That will only ramp up if she wins.

I am also unsure how he doesn’t have policies in your eyes. He has been pretty open about MAHA and his support for cleaning up the food and healthcare industry. I am not sure how much I support his tariff stance yet but I am open minded on it. We know that taxes are largely fucked - why not try higher tariffs for a bit? Taxes on tips is a pretty solid and easy one considering a lot of people are relying and living off tips.

Lastly - how can we get more left leaning than we are now? The country is embarrassingly far flung to the left at so many levels and we need to get that back to the center. I don’t love when we are too far either way as it’s not effective but in the center is where we belong. We do some of this and some of that and get a good balance.

The media has pushed so much hate and vitriol his way for so long, repeating it 24/7 that it’s no wonder so many people are terrified of him. They are programmed like a good subliminal pet and it’s pretty wild to see. MK Ultra and other MK programs seem to be culminating into the situation we find ourselves in now.

I've been working on the issue of health care reform since the 1990s.

Both Conservatives and Progressives have systematically shut down debates during that time.

You may not know this, but Trump was already president once.

In 2016, Trump campaigned on Health Care Reform ... but he did not have a plan. I was trying to support a debate. Everywhere I turned, Trump supporters would stop debates the moment people mentioned the term "Free Market."

MAHA is built on the premise that health flows from the government. All we need is a tweaking of the centralized government and the centralized government will Make American Healthy Again.

Free Market Reform starts with the premise that health is an attribute people. Thge best way to improve health is to give people control over their health.

Just as the last Trump administration suppressed debate about free market health care reform, the next Trump administration will focus on centralized control of health.

Trump will be replaced by a progressive administration. The centralized control that Trump advocates will be replaced by progressives seeking even more aggressive central control.

The question about whether or not centralized control is a good thing will never be addressed.

Yeah I think we’ve really messed up the healthcare in the country. Socialized medicine is just as fucked as this profit driven motive.

Socialized medicine gives assisted suicide and death pods - the primary goal of many of these sick fucks. Yes there are some decent aspects about it but the people in Canada and UK can certainly weigh in on how poor the care is they get, crazy wait lists and lines.

MAHA I need to look into further - I heard an overview of it and what they aim to do but I need to read their white paper or whatever in order to get better into it.

I sincerely hope we don’t ever get a “vote to approve it before you can read it” situation like we did back with the ACA.

At Bilpcoin, we're committed to helping and supporting people, not abusing them. We're burning as many BPC tokens as we can. We ask, why doesn't anyone do anything about these bad downvotes on Hive?

Very alarming situation on Hive: Misuse of power, fake interactions, and abuse of downvoting we've spoken up about the abuse of power on Hive, only to be downvoted and spoken to poorly.

Themarkymark and others are misusing their power, with Blocktrades delegating Hive power to Buildawhale and Usainvote.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources
