Write-in Ballots for President

I'm beginning to think we've seen this movie before.

Don't bet the house.

That you buy into the empty suit rhetoric is sad. Indeed I challenge every one of your decscriptors of President Biden. Can you back your claims* up with facts?

If you challenge any of my descriptors of Trump, I can and will back them up.

* One of your claims, the 'no actual record of achievement' one, is a negative that can't be proved by citing facts, but can be disproved with only one counter-example. And there are many. Defeating Donald Trump in the 2020 election seems like a notable accomplishment to me. You of course know about the large bills pushed and passed under his administration, that finally got the rebuild of infrastructure under way, created industrial policy incentives that have resulted in major investment, and much much else. A very big accomplishment as far as I'm concerned is behind-the scenes and taken for granted, but a huge improvement over the last administration: he runs an efficient, get-down-to-business White House, that keeps him well-briefed, a result of excellent staff work. His comments on whatever comes up tend to be on-point and factual, as well as reflecting honesty, rationality, and solid values of care for the public interest. Moreover, through his excellent, stable cabinet, he leads an effective Federal Government as a whole. Many marked contrasts with his predecessor!

So far I've wagered about $200. I think I'll keep it there... for now.

I got it; you're a Biden supporter, and that is your right. Speaking for myself, I don't want to waste another minute of my life discussing Biden or Trump. I am on a different path. I wish you the best.

Good luck and by the way, you may want to look up the topics SEO and Google Analytics.

And I will tell you something else. To start a write-in campaign, your timing sucks. Put it simply, its the 11th hour and for all practical purposes, the parties and their candidates are entrenched and so are majority of donors and voters. Elections coming up next year, I would rather vote for Biden than write-in Newsom, especially as a resident of Nevada.

I would write in your morning bowel movement before voting for Newsom.

PS I'm quite familiar with SEO, Google Analytics, R-Studio, Tableau, SQL, Scilab, and a number of other analytical tools.

OK, I get it. Pretty much what I figured was going on here.

I've got a little problem, as you've no doubt noticed, with the 'one is as bad as another' trope. I consider the false equivalency harmful, and note it is a theme of the propagandists, who see it as a way to defuse opposition, replacing it with disengagement. Anyway, if you keep up with that line here, I'll keep disagreeing with it.

Other than that, good luck!

Cool experiment

Curious to see what your $200 gets you.
