    If not Biden or Trump, then who?

    In this episode of Choices 2024 Owen and Tony discuss presidential candidate options beyond those who are likely to be nominated by the Democratic and Republican parties. A rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the likely nominees for their parties, is highly unappealing to most American voters. But given the stranglehold that the party apparatchik has on the primary process, it's also highly likely that those two former Presidents will in fact be the candidates for POTUS in 2024. However, there are other candidates running for President beyond those two. This includes folks like Robert Kennedy, but also other possibilities from organizations like No Labels. Providing a candidate that voters can support because they want that candidate to win, versus casting a vote for a candidate as vote against a more disfavored candidate, is the promise of the No Labels organization.

    Keeping Our Promises to Future Generations

    In this episode Owen and Tony discuss politics and concerns for the economic and societal well-being of younger Americans. The United States is tens of trillions of dollars in debt. Entitlement programs that older Americans depend on and which most Americans, younger and older, are paying into are on the brink of insolvency. And yet younger Americans seem to be an afterthought in American politics, even though the promises made in the campaign for POTUS by both candidates will likely be paid for out of those younger generations' pockets. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion as we seek answers and common ground on issues critical to the future of our country.
