    The two candidates

    Yesterday I was privy to a conversation by a group of young, educated nerds..

    I was on a Zoom call with the Sound and Video technicians that I work with.

    Four are 20s-30s and four are 40s-50s.. and then me, the geezer..

    Three white guys.. two Latino guys and four black guys and a black woman.. all with technical degrees up to masters degrees..

    Before the call actually Began, they discussed politics.. I listened..

    There. are two candidates.. Trump and Not-Trump.. non of the issues were Trump issues, and Not-Trump will fix it..

    So... Minimal mention of Biden.. none, zero analysis or research as seen here.

    Just Trump and Not-Trump..

    Was an eye opener...

    Oh.. they all support Not-Trump

    Just FYI

    Yeah, I think many people will be voting for Biden/Harris (and others) as a reaction to Trump's failures - rather than supporting Biden/Harris successes. But, I'm sure there are just as many voting for Trump - who are doing so because they don't support Biden/Harris.

    What can we do about it? Nothing I can think of. For, we don't make voters justify why they vote the way they do. If we did, it'd be interesting - but wouldn't change the results.

    I keep asking for examples of “Biden/Harris successes”...OK, just one will do...and can’t prompt any yet...

    Shouldn’t a guy getting your vote have some indicia of a success somewhere in his/her background, especially when he’s been in the seats of power for nearly half a century?

    According to what I "overheard" yesterday.. With the young, educated nerd segment of society..

    One of the Biden/Harris team's major accomplishments is.. They are.. "Not-Trump".
