I was sure we’d be having a discussion on the permissibility and advisability of men wearing straw hats to shul on the sweltering hot days of summer in the heavily frum NE US.
Instead I get a thread on one of my least favorite topics…
The CR might just not be the place for the fashionably inclined among us.
I just want to say that for many elections already, I decided the right candidate is not out there. Who says that among two people running, one is better?
Politics has come a long way from being defined as working for the will of the constituents. The political parties put together a sales pitch they think people will find appealing, but it is the backroom policies which are the priorities of all the candidates. The only difference is each party has their own band on “supporters” who will benefit from their candidate winning.
Tzad and Golfer a straw poll is something that is held in Iowa a few years before the election to gauge the interest in certain candidates i threw in the hat just cause its summer.
Between (not among) two candidates, one is nearly always better, even if only in the sense of “less bad”.
Even if you dislike both candidates exactly equally, most people do have a party preference, and when you vote for president, you are voting for a party, not just a candidate.
