Only One Outcome?

In any other universe this might yield a good laugh.

Maybe a belly-shaking guffaw from some joke told at a bar counter.

In this one, apparently not.

In 4 days, Americans will go to the polls to elect a POTUS.

Given the primacy of our current 2-party system, there are only 2 viable candidates.

There are a few other candidates, but they have no realistic chance of winning the Presidency.

It is possible, however, that their presence could tilt the balance in favor of one candidate or another.

It has happened before.

And could happen again.

RFK Jr has thrown his support behind one candidate and has tried, without success, to remove his name from the running in all states so as to boost the candidacy of the one to whom he appears to have sold his soul.

What effect his continued presence on the ballot in certain states is unknown.

The world’s richest man has thrown his weight behind one candidate.

It seems he is prepared to try to buy the election.

One candidate clearly favors the affluent.

We know which one that is.

In 1986 Universalist Unitarian minister and author Robert Fulghum wrote a surprisingly successful little book called “ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN.”
