Okay, this forum is getting way too one-sided.

The righties have better material, are funnier, sharper, and have an almost impregnable “leader” (Trump). The lefties are reduced to “I know you are but what am I”, shooting themselves in the foot, and plain old sniveling and screeching.

So.....I’m going to even things up and join the Blue team from time to time for a while.

My Blue posts will contain asterisks. My Red posts will not. My neutral posts will be self-evident.

(Besides — this way I can avoid working on the editing job I just started...)

Uh, why? They don’t need your help, not that it will matter.

Double negatives are always confusing. Do you mean it won’t matter if I offer help, that my help won’t matter, or that it won’t matter whether they need it or not?

Which political color do you lean more towards. I am Red-leaning.

Something toward red with some blue. I am in favor of conservative courts and the rejection of identity politics, but I also favor Medicare for all.

Maybe crimson or magenta.

Health insurance is an outlier political issue for many people.
