  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

CV NEWS FEED // A Pew Research Center poll released Monday found that former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris by five points among all Catholic voters, with 52% compared to her 47%.

The poll asked registered voters across many religious affiliations which candidate, Trump or Harris, they would vote for, or are leaning toward voting for, if the election was held on they day they were polled.

Specifically among white Catholics, Trump has a significant 23-point lead, polling at 61% against Harris’ 38%.

Harris leads Trump by just over 30 points among Hispanic Catholics, meanwhile, with 65% of support compared to the Republican nominee’s 34%.

According to Pew’s survey, Trump also enjoys a wide lead among white Protestants, especially those who identify as evangelical.

Among white evangelical Protestants, Trump leads Harris by a whopping 66% points: 82% to 16%.

The same poll also found Trump ahead by 17 points with non-evangelical white Protestants. Harris, however, maintains a commanding lead among black Protestants – 86% to 11%.

Harris’ lead with Jewish voters was identical to her lead with Hispanic Catholics: 65% to 34%.

Looks like in this poll zero percent prefer an actual Catholic candidate, Sonski, and only have eyes for Trump or Harris. I wonder if the polls even allowed for options other than Harris or Trump? Of course what should I expect. It's the 'Third Party Shutout' in action. We get the government that we deserve. Or the government the elites allow us to have.

Third parties are rarely considered if ever. It’s all about the 2 major parties.

When we have a two party system, it makes thinks rather difficult. In my opinion.

I think that's why we are so divided because our lack of choices.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Unfortunately Sonski is a write-in candidate in most states. I think I've done a write-in candidate for president twice. As I recall I was once in the less than two percent of the country who voted for a presidential candidate other than from the two major parties. We almost got initiative and referendum in our state, people were able to vote on it once many years ago, but the League of Women Voters stepped in at that last minute against it and it failed.

If we keep voting for the big failed parties it will only prolong the time until they utterly crash and burn.

I honestly don’t know how it would work out with 5 parties.
A lot more choices.
Maybe less haggling and more policy speaking.

Because the other parties are like off shoots of the 2.
Independent, Green, Reform, Libertarian, Socialist , Natural Law, Constitution..

I like some who have run Independent.

Anyway the politicians have to have 1million votes to get on the ballot and we don’t see them in debates.

Do check out the American Solidarity Party. Tiny, shut out, but worthy.
