Snide insincerity may be a hallmark of politicians in general, and the Democratic Party aren’t to be outdone in that capacity.  It is Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown as the symbol of the topic of abortion, from the Democratic Party that failed to codify Roe v. Wade when they had ample opportunity to do so.  Instead, the Democratic Party, like the Republican Party, prefer to block action demanded by We The People, in order to have campaign promises to pull out of their bag of tricks at election time.

https://www.aol.com/dont-way-kamala-harris-opens-005957118.html        –WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris opened the 2024 presidential campaign with a warning to Republican leaders who want to scale back access to abortion: Don’t get in our way.

The “way” seems to be power and control.

But it isn’t only the insincerity of Democratic politicians that is beginning to show, as we consider the Democratic campaign strategy of “vote D or you’ll lose rights of reproduction”, as they have been negligent in addressing that issue when they could.  Consider the C-span discussion with Republican McClintock who apparently sits of the Budget Committee.  His statement at 8:15AM on C-Span was FACTual without being truthful.  —  paraphrase–  “We should address the wasteful spending in the Pentagon”, which he differentiates from Defense spending.  A few thoughts–

*Who is the “We”, considering R-McClintock sits on the Budget Committee, and should be so addressing this corruption

*Legislators in general are about passing the buck rather than doing their job

*Possibly the the corruption inherent in Citizens United sways actions by legislators, some people have surmised

*How is Military-Industrial Complex campaign donations generated for transfer from industry to lawmakers?  Some people suspect Citizens United as functioning in this capacity

*Never-ending wars by the USA seem to be an elaborate money-laundering system

*Such systems may differentiate capitalism from free enterprise, while politicians equate capitalism and free enterprise as being one and the same, which they are not

C-Span guest Jean Lee speaking about Korea, mentioned the interesting reality that South Koreans understand themselves, and so self-label, as Korean, while North Koreans do the same.  Apparently it seems a chauvinistic US label of North and South, that seems to tend to further cause division, the better, one considers, to divide and conquer.  

Capitalistic hierarchical Establishment is applying the same divisions in the USA, the better to retain power and control.  Authoritarian behavior is a subtle art.

Consider that the Democratic Branch and Republican Branch of the duopoly are controlling candidates that the American voters appear not to wish in office.  This signifies Political Party corporations are running American elections, which doesn’t comply with principles in the US Constitution.

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!
