If You Vote, Vote Third Party. Vote For Freedom.
I casted my ballot early this year and I didn't vote for Donald J Trump or Kamala Harris. Neither of these candidates did anything to earn my vote. While I did like Trump's stance on Bitcoin and freeing Ross, it still wasn't enough to get me to vote for him. There were two distinct issues that prevented me from voting for Trump.
The first being is complete lack of a plan to get a handle on the debt or at least make an attempt at slowly defusing the debt bomb that is about to go off. I don't think he has made a single pledge to bring down the debt in his platform, which is extremely rare for a Republican candidate for president to do. He is campaigning on being tough on the border and raising tariffs on China and other countries. I'm sorry but that's not going to do anything to bring down the national debt or make Americans better off at home.
What is going to end up happening is the cost of the tariffs are going to be passed on to the consumer, companies will go out of business and we are going to have fewer choices when we go to the stores to shop. What company in their right mind would eat the cost of tariffs when they are already struggling to stay afloat. I don't understand how Trump and his economic advisors don't see this coming down the road.
Trump plans to spend as much as Biden/Kamala if not more. Trump lost my vote because of his lack of a plan for the national debt.
The second reason why both candidates lost my vote was their unbridedled support for Israel. I have nothing against the people of Israel but what their government is doing in their name is horrendous.
The images coming out of Gaza are horrific and disgusting. Civilians should not be caught up in this senseless violence. What makes matters worse is the American weapons being used to massacre these people. It just isn't right in my book and I could not rest my head at night knowing that I consented to this with my vote.
I know on Nov.6 we will have a new president and it won't be the person that I voted for but at least I can go to bed knowing I voted for the right candidate. By running a Bitcoin node, using nostr, promoting Bitcoin as much as possible and voting for candidates that have integrity to do what is right regardless of party politics or personal fortunes is one of the best things you can do.
I urge everyone to vote third party and vote on principals that align with Bitcoin and not the war machine and big government.
