You may be so unhappy with your major-party choices this year that you are voting for a third party, or not voting at all. Let’s examine what your choice actually means. Why people would rather not choose between Trump and Biden When offered two suboptimal choices, the mind rebels. You think, is there really no…
Donald Trump and Joe Biden participated in competing town hall broadcasts last week. I analyzed their speech. Trump talked about himself a lot more, but Biden talked about voters and what he would do for them. Just a reminder: these Rationalist Papers posts are for the group I call the deciders: conservative, moderate, undecided, and…
Today’s column is a personal story. But it’s pretty relevant to what we’re all experiencing right now — both citizens and presidential candidates. Just a reminder: these Rationalist Papers posts are for the group I call the deciders: conservative, moderate, undecided, and third-party voters considering their choices in the 2020 US Presidential election. Until recently, I have…
We are a divided nation. It’s clear to me that the job of the next president is to lead — to bring people together, and to create policies that reach across the aisle. I’ll explain why, and which of the two major candidates would be best at creating the deals that will heal the nation….

And you may be offended by what you read here. The purpose of this post is not to rehash the abortion debate, about which no…
Who is Donald Trump? Who is Joe Biden? What are their accomplishments, and how can we view their character? We may have more information about these two candidates than we’ve ever had in any other presidential election — especially with the recent information that the New York Times revealed about President Trump’s tax filings. Just…
Donald Trump has called Joe Biden a “Trojan horse for socialism” and constantly denigrates “Democrats and their socialist agenda.” Socialism, as a political term, is toxic in America — many moderates and conservatives would rather die than vote for a socialist. So let’s examine what socialism actually is, and whether Joe Biden and Kamala Harris…
This is the most consequential U.S. presidential election of our lifetimes. If you like what Trump is doing for (to?) the country, you can vote to reelect him. If you don’t, and you think Biden is a better choice, you can vote for him. You cannot sit this one out. I’m talking to you, Maine…
