An Election Happens #1
1-6-21 T
____________________________
Kept thinking
about choices we had
choices
we
did
not
have
like
Howie Hawkins
Jo Jorgensen
William Mohr
The Constitution ,Green, and Libertarian Parties
were not on the ballot
were not on the ballot
in some states
Bernie Sanders,
again,
was not on any states’ Ballot
________________________________________
Why then
Bi den
couldn’t we have done better
from all the choices running
from all the choices running
but at least he won
on his third time running
on his third time running
do we always have to accept
at least we beat-
________________________________
In some unforeseen Presidential year
we may have
four or five National Parties
we may-
George Washinton opposed Political Parties
as they would lead to
“a spirit of revenge”
“a spirit of revenge”
luckily that never happened
____________________________________
don’t we need the best people to run
not the most Party electable
don’t we need
a better system
