PROTECTING THE VOTE


My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to The Christopher Peter Podcast, formerly The CRC Review. My podcast will continue to be your source for common sense analytical commentary on salient topics impacting our economy and society. 

The integrity of our elections is paramount to legitimacy of our American democracy, which has seen radical claims made after each of the last two presidential election cycles. As a result, changes and proposed changes will impact how we vote in future elections and how secure the elections are. 

In this podcast, I discuss how to protect the integrity of our elections as well as protecting access to voting. Additionally, I will touch on how political themes of inequity impact our public policy and accountability for government leaders.

THE END OF THE TRUMP ERA


President Donald Trump’s time in office officially ends and Joe Biden takes the reins. Another changing of the guard and a new era in American life. American life always moves forward to a new day, a new dawn. 
The Trump Era was as consequential and must see as a presidential administration could be. President Donald Trump had a strong personality, big ego, and great resolve to take on all combatants, which helped to make him a lightning rod for debate. 
President Donald Trump did not have to run for office. He has a great family, a successful business, and a great life. He did not need to subject himself or his family to the political hatred and harassment from his political opponents. He did not have a half a decade in public office in need of validation. 
In the above podcast, I discuss the high and lows and why the Trump Era was a net positive for our society, despite the chaos and tension at times. Also, I project forward to what America can expect in the next era of our great American story. Please click above to experience The Trump Era podcast.

THE CASE FOR BIPARTISANSHIP

 



America is in a crisis of our own making. There is a clear need for a national change of perspective. Change from a society that views our political opposition as an existential threat to our democracy. Change from a society that views the problem with our society simply being the existence of the other side. 


Our problems did not originate from one individual, one political party, or one group of people. Our underlying problems with political tribalism, ideological rigidity, hysteria, anger, and jealousy transitioned with past changes of administrations. Our political environment continues to move away from cooperation and compromise. Our society continues to allow political views to divide family and friends. Our media institutions continue to wedge society based on exaggerated differences, ignoring the many areas of agreement.


Our society needs to return to a point where compromise, cooperation, and consideration are acceptable aspects of government and daily life. A point where good faith negotiations craft solutions that benefit the broadest group of Americans.

THE YEAR 2O2O

 



The Year 2020 was a challenging year across the globe. A global pandemic impacted every nation in the world. Social unrest impacted many of our cities in a disturbing manner that went well beyond our democratic traditions. A contentious presidential election to cap it off. 

Many people struggled to deal with the situation not of their choosing. Others decided to make the most of it and found opportunity to help their fellow human rather than wallow in the emotions of the moments. Tough times breed tough people and it is the tough people that make it to the other side.

THE 2020 ELECTION

 

Joe Biden prevailed in the 2020 Presidential Election. Barring any changes related to contested ballots and possible recounts, Biden will become president on January 20, 2021. Biden will be inheriting a rebounding economy, a possible vaccine to Covid-19, and much more upon taking office.

Biden will most likely come into office with a gridlocked Congress, providing America with protection against the radical aspects of his agenda. Biden promises to heal America, but hard to imagine Americans coming together after the treatment by Biden and his party. Some of the actions committed, not only during the campaign, but the past 4 to 12 years, are not able to taken back or condoned. The political actions used to gain power cannot be ignored simply due to a shift in power.
