Donald Trump. Joe Biden.

Neither is fit for office.

To paraphrase Lincoln, perhaps our honored dead have died in vain, if the presidency is being vied for by a convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist and a sundowner.

My question is to the American people: Are you tired of being taken advantage of?

In my lifetime, every election has had the same results, regardless of which party won: the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the only thing that changes every year is the list of poor grows longer.

Are these middling candidates truly the best any party has to offer? Are you satisfied being talked down to for the umpteenth time?

This election is a disgrace, and continues to make America the laughingstock of the world.

The absolute, utter idiocy of this election is completely avoidable. The political parties have revealed themselves as the useless cults that they are.

Enough.

I am DEMANDING the political parties dump Trump and Biden in favor of candidates who are not entitled, elected aristocrats, but public servants willing to undertake the solemn duty of public service.

There is nothing left to say.
