Election 2024 – American Voices

I know I have been focused on American politics to the nth degree of late. But it is a critical moment in our nation’s history, and frankly, the world’s. This election matters. I have listened to those who appear on various media outlets: the candidates, current and former government officials, those who served in the Trump administration and those who have observed the trends in our political winds. You know where I stand. But I wanted to highlight other American voices. Because it will be the American people who decide our future. So I have put together some clips for you. I have tried to include something from both sides.

I tried to stay away from videos showing the more extreme examples of either side, this is just a small sample of voices. There are others out there.

This first video speaks straight to my heart. It is a grandfather’s advice for his granddaughters.

This was just a small snippet, but I think it speaks to something deeper, the depth of animosity we are seeing today. And, yet, even here there is still some connection, humor.

I wanted to look at why some people have changed their minds about the Republican Party, which these next two videos portray.

Trump supporters who might be your relatives or friends. Their concerns are genuine.

It is unfortunate that so many people do not really do their own research. It is unfortunate that people do not always understand causation of problems and what it really takes to solve them. It is unfortunate that people do not always understand how economics works. It can lead to misjudgment.

I am considering voting early, as I don’t want to miss this election.
