Jon the Purple

This is the website of Jon Sachs, who believes that many citizens of the US in 2020 have aspects of blue and red politics, hence the purple.

The site is composed of short videos about political issues.

In the end, I usually come down on the side that is identified with the Democratic Party, but I think few issues are simple black and white, or red or blue.

This site is the sister to my Jon the Purple Facebook page. Following the Facebook page and sharing it is very helpful, as we are still in process of becoming an approved political advertiser on Facebook.

If you like what I have to say you can send your friends this way.

This project is on hold since the election of 2020. I am watching and waiting to see how public discourse evolves in the Biden era.
