issues about a horse race

This is a passage from a post about the 2024 POTUS race that I responded to:

“Only FIVE states will determine if 2024 will be stolen and during his CNN Town Hall, Trump revealed his plans. 

Wisconsin is the most important swing state in the country and will be the key to keeping the White House and Senate blue in 2024. 

In the last three years, Republicans have sought to remove state officials who wouldn’t manufacture votes and falsely declare Donald Trump the winner. 

Trump not only repeated his election lies, but he laid the groundwork to continue to erode our systems.

Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, will determine who will make election decisions in states where the White House is won or lost.” 

My Comment:

[This point] is close enough to my home to give some validity to my assertion that I cross to Tijuana for travel to fly through, my dentist, our dogs' vet, shop and see in-laws. I see...
🔹 3 states that are ignorant and indifferent to the lives of people who cross the border
🔹 a state pretending that it isn't becoming more Latino that thinks it is the same as the previous 3
🔹 a state on the border which is coming to terms with its demographic diversity and the complexities of having a foreign nation on its southern border.

Rooftop solar is scant in California. There is even less in desert cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix for some reason. 😒

Speaking of Nevada and Arizona, I'm sure that they [would] stick a knife into California for Colorado River water if they got a chance.

I left out the other part of my usual border rant about how dumb, cruel and short sited the U.S. policy is towards refugees and migrants who are queueing up to cross the border from Mexico as I compose this piece and how that is a bi-partisan failure.

The original comment hasn't received a 👍 from anyone in the original post. That might have to do with it being the public (business) page of a comedian on Facebook. That might also have to do with addressing some issues about the horse race instead of the horse race itself.
