I recommend this book all the time. "Discover What You Are Best At." Linda Gail. I got it when I was about your age. It's a series of self tests you can finish in half a day, and then a list of jobs that use those skills. For example, a product demonstrator and a paramedic both need good social skills and good dexterity. Totally different jobs with a similar skill set.
I found that just taking the course was helpful, because I was interacting with the other students.
The Right always votes for the GOP candidate, and the GOP candidate is the guy who wins the primaries. Most folks don't vote in the primaries, so the most extreme guy almost always wins.
Meanwhile, there are people on the Left who hate AOC because she hasn't pistol whipped Nancy Pelosi.
The Village Voice was a weekly 'alternative' newspaper that covered politics, culture, and the arts.
The pot smoking hippies ran dozens of predictions of what would happen. that included two cartoons.
One showed Dubya as Mickey Mouse. the sorcerer's apprentice was chopping up a broom that looked like Sadam, and getting a million little brooms that looked like bin Ladn. The other was a buddy cop movie where Sadam and bin-Ladn are forced to work together, and eventually learn from each other
Tom Wolfe said that if a person goes from middle class to homeless in a shelter their life changes 50%. They still have the same clothes, watch the same TV shows, eat the same kind of food.
If someone goes from being a billionaire to middle class their life has changed 100%.
Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
You're middle class if you're still working for your money. You're rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a 'peace candidate.' He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn't want to raise taxes.
Today I learned anyone who voted for Bernie or AOC is a fascist collaborator.
Hold on.
First line "One method"
Last line "our last shot."
Pretty quick self contradiction.
Besides, the 2026 are about 17 months away. There's no way you could convene an Article V convention in that time.
Sounds like you just don't want to admit you haven't got anything practical to suggest.
Getting dirt on her was how J. Edgar Hoover first gained power.
He was the master of intelligence gathering and built giant files on all his enemies.

New York has a big Jewish population.
Please leave a detailed message explaining exactly how you propose to come up with a viable 3rd Party when the 2026 midterms are in sight?

Reminds me of a science fiction story. A regular type guy happens to look like a big star. The star sues the regular guy for copywrite infringement
Two groups that love to say "Both sides are the same."
People on the Left who have given up hope.
People on the Right when they get caught being evil.
Nothing makes the Right happier than when someone on the Left says that there's no hope.
Look at NYC. The Dem candidate for Mayor is being threatened with deportation and arrest for being a Communist.
The fight isn't over until we give up.
That Danny DeVito! Is there nothing that genius can't do???
Good answer!
Trump has said that his personality hasn't changed since first grade. He's on to the next shiny object...

Hitler came to power because the majority couldn't settle on a non-Hitler candidate. Now you're saying we should do the same thing.
I lived in New York City on 9/11/2001.
