WOMEN AS BAIT
“Made a deal with the devil”? It’s like we’ve identified the devil. Some people were excoriated in the 2020 Presidential election when they didn’t “hold your nose and vote”. Can we hear from the Democratic-base voices? The campaign-strategy accusations of racism seem curiously close to home.
https://www.aol.com/news/exclusive-democrats-incensed-secret-biden-204733126.html —LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Democrats are blasting President Joe Biden for agreeing to nominate an anti-abortion Republican to a lifetime federal judgeship in Kentucky, less than a week after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
“The president is making a deal with the devil and once again” and “the people of Kentucky are crushed in the process,” Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker tweeted after The Courier Journal broke the story Wednesday night.—-end of aol info–

C-Span consistently cubby-holes callers by mandate into Democratic, Republican, or Independent. If C-Span is obsessed with this labeling, perhaps a more honest description could be Democratic, Republican, and un-captured as categories. It isn’t a prerequisite to label oneself with a political Party corporation in order to act in democracy. In FACT to do so may be a first step toward fascist compliance. One only mentions fascism because that appears to be the system used in American politics in 2022.
From Blackagendareport via popularresistance — https://popularresistance.org/democrats-exposed-by-the-end-of-roe-v-wade/ –During his 2008 presidential campaign Obama promised to pass and sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would have enshrined abortion rights into law, and remove it from the purview of the courts. But he did no such thing. On April 29, 2009 he gave a press conference on his 100th day in office and said, “The Freedom of Choice Act is not my highest legislative priority.” Obama had majorities in both houses of Congress and a veto-proof majority in the Senate. Not only was this legislation not his highest priority, it wasn’t a priority at all. He never attempted to get it passed.

As one who is interested in women’s rights, the presumption that “if women would only vote for Democrats”, rights would be ensured, feels dangerous. Many communications are received, for some reason, that proclaim the supremacy of black women. One never inferred anything different; however one does object to the Democratic Party corporation campaign strategy of placing blame on women…….and to use the phrase coined by said strategists, “especially white women”. This is patriarchal in the manner of the ’50’s Miss America Contests, which were in FACT forestalled for several years in the midst of the Feminist Movement. It was reinstalled by characters such as Donald Trump. Apparently the Democratic campaign strategists understand the detraction intrinsic in such theater.
So one is proclaiming the supremacy of black women, to set the record straight, if only it will loosen the intellectual constipation that supports the system of 2-Parties which is the Republican/Democratic duopoly dictatorship. One is quite sure one never insinuated anything other than black-female supremacy, because it’s no skin off my nose.
But politically speaking, the distraction to women supports patriarchy.

****As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-
This is a reminder of how much we don’t know. This brings one around to Howie Hawkins, who continues to impress with original thought. We also could acknowledge Hawkins often speaks to censored information.
One such topic about which one would never have even considered, is whether the USA needs The Senate. Apparently The Senate is little other than expensive window dressing, promoting hierarchical interests, and too often placed in positions of power by big-money via Citizens United. But the public gets to fund this curiosity of pompous supremacy. Who knew?
The Democratic Branch of the Republican/Democratic Duopoly are especially functional in voter suppression—–https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbdkuU1edw —#GreenSocialist Notes #76
Howie Hawkins brings up the concept of whether the USA needs the Senate. Apparently according to some people, the Senate isn’t necessary. This brings up the blockage from the Senate of many bills that would benefit We The People. Combined with Citizens United that promotes big-money interest choice of Senators, in which laws are passed that benefit big-money interest rather than We The People, and that We The People support economically, the members of the Senate, this seems a good topic for discussion.
The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly. It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.
