You may feel you have poor choices but by not voting you are in effect casting a vote for the one who is the worst choice.

In my Canadian view on your election, if you don't vote you are effectively voting for the worst possible candidate. I am not a "them or us" voter. I vote for the person who I think will best represent my community, with a secondary regard for the party they represent. In your 2 party system that entails voting for the "wrong party" at times. As I see it , I don't agree with some of the things Biden has done, but the main complaint against him is his age. He still has control of all his faculties, His running mate appears to me to be capable of doing the job if she has to take over part way through the term. I could fill a data bank listing tRump's faults and connections to Russia, his admiration of dictators and his immorality and flouting of commercial law and the tax system. He certainly doesn't represent "Christian values" as I know them, I find it appalling the support he has among the Evangelists. Kennedy is a nut case even his family doesn't support and warns against him. There is a huge difference between inadvertently possessing some "classified" documents from your administration and voluntarily handing them over and possessing and sharing with individuals who are not unauthorized to see them, and then hiding them to retain them. For what purpose is a big question you should ask? From statements his staff has made, he quite possibly still have some stashed away that were moved while the search of Mar-A-Lago was under way. Not voting may be a choice, but as I said, it is in effect a vote for the worst possible candidate. This is the time to vote for the best candidate(s) offered despite whether they belong to the "wrong party" or not.

I keep 1 or 2 amp maintainers on all my batteries that aren't used regularly . One is on my quad, one on my riding mower, one on a jump stater / air compressor pack and one on my 3/4 tom 4x4. They're far cheaper than replacing batteries that have lost capacity or completely failed because they sulphated up from self discharge while the machines sat idle for extended periods. A battery kept charged up on a maintainer can last several years while one allowed to sit at less than full charge may fail within a year or two.

I just finished watching a "Meet the Press" interview with Nikki Haley. Like all politicians she managed to talk a lot without ever giving a direct "Yes" or "No" answer to any question, but I can say President Biden best hope he has to run against tRump and not her in November. Haley stands head and shoulders above tRump in intellect and capability. Whether she would moderate some of the hard right stances she has taken on some issues if she gained the Presidency or not is a question but if she managed to take the GOP nomination she would be a very real threat to a Biden second term and most likely take it away from him. The man-child tRump is increasingly being seen as the disgusting loser he is; even among some of his old supporters on the far right.

The dimensions of that battery are shown in the amazon ad.Measure your battery box to see if it will fit .. If you search for a battery for the specific year and model it should take you to ads for compatible batteries .

Put the battery on a charger to charge it right up.. If it was left for a couple of months without a battery maintainer on it the charge on it could have been very low and a 20 minute charge from the quad's system would not likely bring it to anywhere near a full charge. I just did a search on your battery and the recommended battery for your quad. Your battery is woefully inadequate for that machine. It is rated for 120 cold cranking amps and likely only 9 amp hours reserve. Specs for your quad calls for a battery with 210 CCA and 14 Ah reserve. The little battery in your scrambler might start ok when the battery is full charged and in warm weather , but in the cold it is not likely going to do well even if fully charged.

Yes he is old- A year older than me; but he is still far more aware and capable than tRump. Fact is tRump first tried to use a run for the Presidential nomination as a ploy to put his name out there for business promotion. Remember his vow to spend his own money on his campaign? When he actually won the nomination, the GOP paid all the campaign expenses. When he actually won the real milking the presidency to line the pockets of himself and his family.. Whether you want to believe it or not, Biden is respected internationally and tRump is viewed as an incompetent laughing stock and a threat to your "democracy". I too would like to see younger contenders but as it is it looks like you are going to have the choice of an old , capable honest man and a 4 year "younger" grifter facing 91 felony charges.

Most of the world sees that in tRump, not Biden. But go ahead and enjoy your very misleading Youtube videos.

Yes a strong US is beneficial to Canada; but that is the only thing you got right. tRump will weaken the US, not strengthen it and by the way , you golden god is only 4 years younger than Biden physically. Mentally tRump is a spoiled brat 2 year old throwing tantrums every time he doesn't get his own way.

Bull sh** it was better. tRump was NOT a strong President. and the US has been far stronger economically and healthwise under Biden. Get off the extreme right misinformation sites and look up the real facts. He was a sucker to the likes of Putin and Xi. By the way , quadmaniac, I m Canadian, and last time I looked Canada is a lot larger part of North America physically but much smaller in population.

quadmaniac and johnii mistake bullshit and bluster for strength.. In fact they are signs of weakness. tRump would be a gift to Xi, Putin and Kim. All they have to do is stroke his ego and that narcissist wsill give them everything they want. Really listen to him. He wants to be a dictator; he has already praised the 3 big dicttors and made threats against everyone at home that appears to be any threat to him and said he wants to be "Dictator for a day" and take revenge on all who opposed him.. You accuse Biden of being addled but he is not the one that confused Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. He mixes up states , has claimed there were aircraft during the Civil War. Really listen to his rants at his rallies. Half of his babble is incomprehensible. In a way, I prefer to see tRump running against Biden. Nikki Haley would have a better chance of beating him. Despite what the right cliams, if you look at the economics of the tRump years and Biden's Biden's administration has posted far superior numbers for job creation , market levels and every other economic indicator. He is far more respected and capable dealing internationally than the sadly laughable tRump. Yes, like many others I would like to see younger contenders on both sides, but if the worst happens to Biden in the next 4 years , Kamala Harris is more than capable of doing a good job if she had to step into the Presidency. I shudder to think what toady tRump will nominate for a running mate. He certainly won't choose anyone he perceives to be capable of being a threat to him. I would like some other international members here speak up with their opinions.. It shouldn't be only Mech and me commenting. What happens in the US affects us all in the US's trading community.

There's a huge difference in 91 felony indictments and none. There's a difference between fomenting an insurrection because you lost an d a peaceful handover of power; and there's a difference between using both the Bible and Constitution as toilet paper and honoring them both. But despite all the evidence MAGAts refuse to believe any of it. Sorry Johnii, neither Jacinda nor Justin have anywhere near the dictatorial power over their parties or our nations that an American President has. You really need to learn the difference between a parliamentary democracy and your republican version.

I wonder how many are going to be able to see the truth through all the lies, misinformation and disinformation this election is going to be severely plastered with. The rise of AI generated crap is going to be even harder for far too many to sort through,especially for those that have great difficulty letting facts interfere with their beliefs.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS ! Happy and Safe HOLIDAYS everyone. !
