We are too Advanced to have Simple Slogans!

Yes, that is my new slogan… 


Reading recently in ”The Week,” how the Democrats do not have a compelling message… 

Compared to the Republicans… 

Who seem to be totally behind the simple, and mostly false, slogans of Drumpf… 

Democrats do not have convincing slogans… 

My contention is… 

You cannot have convincing slogans, when the issues are so complicated…   

There is nothing simple about immigration, racism, our economy, international wars, atrocities, trade… 

We seem to be a country divided in half… 

Actually according to an October 2018 Gallup poll:  

Republicans 28%, Democrats 30%, and Independents 39%.   

This is not much change since 2004…  

And… 

Republicans + Republican leaners 40% and Democrats + Democratic leaners 48%
(2004, 48% and 46%, respectively…)

Yes, Drumpf lost the popular vote, yet is president… 

Blame it on the Electoral College… 

If you want to get into the argument of whether these United States are a Republic or a Democracy, read here:

As I have said before “every one is doing the best they can…” 

So my slogan:  “We are too Advanced to have Simple Slogans!” 

Is a paradox… 

Truth is best held within paradox… 

So, yes, I believe everyone is doing the best they can… 

That does not mean we cannot change… 

That does not mean we cannot change the world… 

Right here, right now, really what I am trying to do is ---    
 
I am trying to influence each and every one of you to get out there and VOTE!!!!! 

Vote for peace, hope, compassion… 

That is me trying to influence you… 

Without idiot compassion… 

About 60% of the US population votes in presidential elections, 40% in mid-year elections… 

Way below most European counties… 

Step up to the plate people!

Vote! Vote! Vote!

But, only once… 

Namaste
