I am happy to remain your friend, and would certainly not lose that over
an election. Thank you.

I snipped the content of your message, not out of disrespect but simply
for brevity and simplicity.
Certainly there is truth in some of what you stated, no argument from
me. The point I would like to make is that very similar things can be
said about the "other side". Look at what's happened to the USA in the
last four years - record setting inflation, weakened law enforcement,
pretty much "open borders", concessions to illegals and criminals, out
of control spending with more planned/hoped for, etc, etc.... Oh, and
regarding the Supreme Court, the exact same thing would have happened
with other issues if the Democrats would have happened to have been able
to appoint 3 Justices in a single term. Related to that is the way
Biden has threatened to "stack the court" by increasing the size of it
to 13-15 members, and appointing his hand-picked new members. How is
that any less threatening/damaging?
As to the international concerns/effects - Biden/Harris are
laughingstocks, very low respect by others, seen as weak and easily
manipulated. Sure, Ukraine likes them because they keep dumping money
over there. The whole Ukraine mess may not have happened if Putin knew
there was somebody here who would not have tolerated it.
We could go on and on, but there's really no point.
Honestly, many people here think that it really doesn't matter all that
much who wins. None of them are truly on the side of "the people" and
we all know that.
WD> I wish you a good 5th of November 2024.
Well, thank you, and the same to you. I'm mostly just glad that this
whole election circus will be over soon, hopefully by the end of the
week as they "count" the votes. At least then much of the BS will stop
and we can get back to our lives.
... A politican will double-cross that bridge when he comes to it.
