Define "help". You need to stop talking in aspirations and start talking in actions. Especially when we look at what is happening here in the US.

Clearly geared to a regional area. Only a southerner is going to get that one.

No. We need to change Congress and that means convincing the independent voters who aren't R or D that you can do a better job. Rather than figuring out how to hurt the other side.

Trump promised to deport the illegals. Now work on the buyer remorse not revenge. Better elect an independent.

It's time for middle America to decide, do we want to keep it? Because participation isn't optional, it is required to keep it. 🧵5/5

Not happy with the Republicans or the Democrats - then vote for an Independent when you find one running.
Because otherwise as Benjamin Franklin said to a lady who asked him whether we had a monarchy or a republic during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 -“A republic, if you can keep it”. 🧵4/5

So - to all of middle America - start talking with your neighbors and start participating in the politics and elections. Attend the local meetings, the League of Women Voters debates, the civic groups and start caring about who goes to the state capital and Washington D.C. 🧵3/5

But, that leads into the second point - we have been living our lives hoping that smart caring people were running the government. Well now we need to wake up and realize the far left and far right are fighting over the levers of power and the people in the middle are nowhere to be seen. 🧵2/5

Take a moment and read this. It’s the analysis I did after the Nov 2024 election.

Election results and demographics revisited
So what happened on Election Day? A lot of people that voted for Joe Biden in 2020 stayed home or switched their votes to Donald Trump. The question is why.

No it isn’t. It’s time to put up independent moderates to run in Republican districts.

Already am. It’s called balancing the budget to stop running up the debt.

Remind the Congress, they can override a veto!! Would be a great time to do that.

Do not add to the number of conspiracy theories. Step away from edge, don’t go there.

Instead of disappointment, can we remind everyone of the level of incompetence being displayed by the human error.

Override the veto. Remind the congress, they can override a veto.

I got the mean income from the US Census profile for WA-5. And agree Mean and Median do nothing for the people on the bottom of the scale.
