You can ask them to count the jelly beans in the jar before you allow them to vote.

The video linked below is an excerpt from Lyndon Johnson's address to Congress urging the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. It is just over two minutes long, but addresses a number of important issues in that short amount of time. It's an example of leadership and empathy combined in a way that is currently sorely lacking.

I recommend taking the two minutes to watch it as a reminder of what we are missing today.

Below is a transcript of the full address to Congress...

Meanwhile Johnson got us into and escalated the Vietnam War that killed millions while Trump, who opposed that war, finished off wars and reduced fighting in other areas while he's president.

Which has nothing whatsoever to do with what Johnson, along with many others, accomplished in moving civil rights forward in the United States. It's just a statement designed to distract from a completely different subject; for what reason I can only guess.

58,220 Americans died in nearly two decades in Vietnam.
Coronavirus has killed far more Americans than Vietnam War! In what, 7 months. Thanks Trump.
How many of Trump's team has been infected this week? 11 at least, Stephan Miller just reported a few hours ago.
How many of Biden's team has been infected Alan?

Of course it doesn't. But it's to be expected when the absurd is the last refuge of a pundit without an argument.  ;)
Look what Trump has accomplished in moving civil rights backwards in the United States. Good people on both sides. Yeah.
Make America sick and racist again.  :'(

Short excerpts from the Frontline documentary that sheds light on the differences that we see today in the empathy and character between the candidates.

If you want a socialist left leaning country run by a physically challenged guy who is losing his mental faculties due to advancing age,  vote for Biden.  Nice guy but not up to the challenge.

There is no left in the US from a European standpoint. Biden would be considered centre-right in Europe.
Your L-R vision would call many European countries extreme left, and yet we are running well.
We even have the freedom to send lying and insulting presidents like Trump off, within a week.

YOU don't care about European politics.
Once again, you feel the need and ability to speak for others, in this case ALL Americans. It's why you're not to be taken seriously. Again.

I think the last time we stuck on nose in it was when we had to send the U.S. Air Force over to Serbia to stop the Serbs and the Croats from killing each other because their European neighbors didn't want to do anything about it.  Unfortunately,  America has to be your policeman to make sure you play nice.

Oh, so you do care after all. Why'd you say you didn't?

Every presidential election season since 1988, the PBS documentary series Frontline has produced an incredibly biased biographical documentary. This season is no different.

So you have viewed every such documentary since 1988 and can pinpoint for us, one specific example from each: Yes or no?

Or, you are a biased viewer.  A priori, either is possible. ;)

Criticism can be useful when there is something specific that informs the reader. When applied with a broad brush—or in this case simply sprayed on from a can—it is of no real value in making anyone better informed.

PBS is run by liberals pushing liberal concepts and paid for by everyone's tax money.  They should shut it down.

So you can't answer my question either.
You should really shut it down.

The current Board of Directors for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has eight members. Five of the current board members were appointed by that crazy radical liberal Donald Trump including the Chairman.

"The CPB is governed by a nine-member board of directors selected by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate; they serve six-year terms. As of May 2019, the board has eight members, with Bruce M. Ramer as the chair. Under the terms of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, the President cannot appoint persons of the same political party to more than five of the nine CPB board seats."

"The Board of Directors governs CPB, sets policy, and establishes programming priorities. The Board appoints the president and chief executive officer, who then names the other corporate officers."
