    I truly wish we had more politicians that behave in this manner. It should never boil down to my political party versus yours. There shouldn’t be any sides to governing this country.

      Don’t you miss the days where presidentak candidates stood up for each other … When GOP McCain defended Obama against outlandish rumors he was a secret Muslim. Seems like those days are long gone.

        That’s because none of the candidates were Russian assets.

        In this election it’s almost as if all of them are Russian assets except one.

          Except RFK, right? Right? Or maybe except Bernie?

          I mean, OK, Kamala is not an asset, she’s an equal partner. Trump is an asset.

          And “Russian” should be replaced with some international network of thieves and murderers.

        Imagine if we banned parties. Made lobbying illegal and funded all of the campaigns for qualified members paid for by the government. Encouraging government figures to campaign less as it saves taxes for their constituates.

          No way that government will have a majority to make this happen anytime soon. Interesting idea though.
