324 Million plus or minus a few

Let’s just hypothetically assume that the US population is approximately 324 Million plus or minus a few here and there.

That would mean that Hillary and Donald either are just one, or depending on how you look at it, two in that number of + or so here in the US. If we have an approximate net gain of one person every 12 seconds regardless of where that gain comes from, they still are just two-no, one.

Now I would like to think that one person can make a difference, but in the reality of things one person is still just one person. So we have around 324 million + of these onesies running amuck. Some of these onesies are running for office. Some of these onesies are in the media. Some of these onesies are in government at the local, state and national levels. The vast majority of us onesies actually make this country what it is. Not the poster children of onesies.

So how is it that two people, influenced by a slightly larger albeit exceptionally small number of onesies out there can delude and herd us all into such a frenzy?

Me, I originally posted the graphic on 5 irrational thoughts awhile back and had someone tell me I was na?ve. That may be true, but I refuse to let all the BS of cat herding herd me where I do not desire to be. I am not a mindless automaton, and despite being only one of 324 million + I think that we actually live in a great country, I think we have so much to be thankful for, I also think we take so much for granted.  And yes, I will cast my one vote on November 8th and then will continue to press ahead reveling in my onesie-ness.

The Dutch have a more complicated multi-party leadership within their Parliamentary system, but they certainly must act like some sort of family in order to accomplish anything.

Joel Anderson Left, Right and Center. This is the way politics is played and democracy is determined. Irrespective one will be chosen. There will be no joint winner. Two cannot head a nation. But two is needed to make a family. So, two genders must be sitting as head and chosen by all citizen. Based on the popularity, one gender supersedes the other. Let us call this Genderism. Ultimately, politics is serving all people of the nation first. Thanks and regards
