The need for leadership has never been greater. Yet, the parties have never offered less.
Why?

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.

Each side (Red vs Blue) only has to offer the public just enough to get in, most of their allegiance is to their backers, the rich and powerful, corporations, corporate associations, interest groups, lobbying groups.
In 2016 Donald Trump had significant appeal to the older low income voters by promising to protect our jobs by building the wall and presumably restricting access by other means as well, and doing something to balance trade. Hillary appealed more to younger people by including a calculator of the amount of college debt they were be forgiven when she got in.
I think that netted Donald overall a few more votes, but our owners got the balance right and the election was so close it got a lot of people became very excited.
