Member-only story
You, sir, are about to make a momentous decision. One that could alter the course of history.
Not only of the USA, but of the world at large.
I appeal to the better angels of your nature. The ones that sit on your right shoulder and, along with angels of the other side, whisper in your ear from time to time.
Decades ago, your uncle, JFK, in his inaugural address as 35th POTUS, had this to say: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
Despite your best efforts, given your paltry polling as candidate for the office of the highest job in this land (about 4–5%, at latest count), one might argue what you do in the here and now is inconsequential.
And that may be the case.
But it may not.
A few percentage points may decide the outcome of the forthcoming Presidential election.
It is that close.
I ask you to reconsider what I think you are about to do.
I ask that you either remain in the race for POTUS, as you currently are, or stand down and issue no endorsement of either major candidate.
Why do I ask that?
Since 1900, there have been potentially four times that a 3rd party candidate may have been a factor in the outcome of the Presidential election.
