Some people have paid taxes for over 50 years, including school, property, sales, and income, with sparse representation.

One chooses to wax sexist by suggesting topics relevant to the feminine such as nature, birth control, and local community quality of life stands in contrast to masculine interests such as industry, war, and hierarchical supremacy.

Yet women are an enduring presence in life without which society would not function.  Our President spits out the word competition when he could as easily use the notion of cooperation, but which difference wouldn’t connote undermining the domination so dear to the hearts of some.  A presumption that this is healthy for over half the population is precious but wrong.  But we’ve lived with the dominant rhetoric for so long that we can have difficulty even hearing it.

Because concerns of women  don’t always align with concerns of men—-https://www.timesunion.com/state/article/Wow-finally-First-all-women-class-of-Senators-17662816.php?utm_source=t.co&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&cmpid=twittersocialflow   —

ALBANY —  The incoming Democratic class of New York state senators will be composed entirely of women, a first for any conference in the upper house’s 245-year history, and a fitting end to a year of wins for gender representation in state politics. –end leawebb info–

Perhaps lack of representation is a reason the Southern Tier has a baseball stadium and liberal gun laws rather than childcare and adequate and accessible (cost) health care.  And let’s not forget we also have the Tioga County Casino, that is a staple for family life.

This isn’t good or bad, just one sided.

The Southern Tier of NYS has been burdened with law enforcement characters calling for “crack-down” on protesters.  Notably one such character was employed, accordingly to local newspaper reports, by a fossil fuel corporation during the NYS anti-fracking protests, that went largely unreported by MSM.  Congrats to the local newspaper to have included this information to the public, but which information seems to have been scrubbed by Google.

The simple technique of labeling a concerned citizen as a domestic terrorist enables enhanced ability to so “crack down”.  Add to this a disturbing circle of crony-style campaign endorsements between law enforcement, politicians, and DA’s, and and the “legal” process to which citizenry is subjected calls for transparency and debate.  How special for a crony system in which law enforcement became legislator while endorsing the DA candidate, and then said lawmaker hopping back to enforce laws after law-enforcement-enhanced legislation was passed.  To consider that cronies got ahead of their skis would be a generous interpretation.

 Consider a view from Physicians for Human Rights.  —  https://lethalindisguise.org/?CID=7015G000000XOprQAG&ms=FY23_LethalInDisguise_Email2_FullFile_Cultiv&dm_i=4GV7%2CJN41%2C6I78M2%2C26PK1%2C1     —

The rising popularity of crowd-control weapons by state actors mirrors alarming trends in policing across the world: growing authoritarianism, the militarization of law enforcement, unregulated and precipitous use of weapons against peaceful public protest, politically biased decisions to use force, little transparency around when, how, and why crowd-control weapons are used, and no meaningful accountability.–end of phr info–

Tools for hierarchical control are sufficient to begin to consider issues such as CCW (crowd-control weapons).

****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.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ7kn2-GEmM       —

Ross Perot in 1992 on NAFTA and the “Giant Sucking Sound”

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly.  It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.———————–We can do better———-

That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
