Electoral Sports



The blog topics to be published next week have to do with electoral history.

As I had previously written, I intend to post a few electoral topics—but not excessively in their numbers or their frequency—in each of the six consecutive months leading up to the general election scheduled for November 3, 2020. (This covers the months May to October.)

One thing to keep in mind is this: Neither the United States’s Republican or Democratic political parties represent us—the have-nots—and that is intentional.

I cannot muster excitement over a 2020 general-election matchup of Trump-vs.-Biden.

At this point, the United States presidential election is merely Electoral Sports.

Historical voting pattern can be referenced, when making arguments for why Team Red or Team Blue will likely have the better year, but this may as well be, say, baseball.

A batter [for a team] steps up to the plate, is about to perform, but before he does the viewer is given historical and statistical information [about the batter and/or his team] which renders human beings like that batter to be, ultimately, less human and unimportant.

The United States presidential election of 2020 promises will be no different.
