Demand better presidential candidates

There's got to be a better choice than that facing us for the 2024 presidential election. On the one hand, we have a candidate who is vindictive, dishonest, corrupt, a bully, incapable of working with others to achieve a common goal, accused of inciting the attack on our Capitol, the unauthorized acquisition of classified documents, and trying to enlist the aid of others to overturn the last election. Donald Trump.

Our other choice is a man who, already in his 80s, whose mental sharpness is being questioned and who we would be depending on in dealing with critical foreign policy matters. He has opened our southwestern borders to allow more than 8 million illegal immigrants to enter our country, may be complicit in corrupt practices used to enrich his family, who is soft on crime, with spending policies and actions which have increased the growth of our federal deficit and contributed to the inflation which hurts so much of our population and whose foreign policy decisions are questionable. Joe Biden

Supporting either of these two candidates will only perpetuate all of the problems we now face and continue the divisiveness and lack of accomplishment that exists in Washington now. We need to be heard, not passive or we'll have no one but ourselves to blame for the results.
