NURTURE DEMOCRACY

That a particular gender and physiognomy presumes to display as the most capable in leadership to the extent of authoritarianism is belied by the state of our society in the USA including loss of democracy, equality, and justice, and held in place by the system of patriarchy that is compatible with capitalism.

Do others in the public feel they are patsies in a Pyramid Scheme economy for hierarchical Establishment?  — https://mailchi.mp/867dd7b3d917/35b-from-us-taxpayers-funded-world-health-organization-58689?e=9050ba47ba  — The Golden State is the only state in the nation not to produce state spending under open records laws.
In 2018, California resident Steven Childs wanted to know how much the state paid to a single vendor over a five-year period. Instead of the data, California Controller Betty Yee sent him an invoice for $1,250.
OpenTheBooks.com is battling the controller in this case over our freedom of information (FOIA) request for the entire line-by-line state vendor checkbook.

When the controller rejected our request, we sued. Now we are waiting for the judge — who has been thoughtful and engaged — to issue an order on our petition for writ of mandate. 

Our case to open California state expenditures to sunshine for the first time in history is HISTORIC.  –end of openthebooks info–
Should the public need to choose whether they will “play checkers or chess” in public policy?  Should our elected officials be held accountable for maintaining justice and equality against American oligarchs?  Should the USA even have American oligarchs, which we most decidedly do, comparable to the much-maligned-American-media “Russian oligarchs”?—–

After all, it has made consuming its products seem like a human necessity. It has confused the public about climate science, bought the eternal gratitude of one of America’s two main political parties, and repeatedly out-maneuvered regulatory efforts. And it has done all this in part by thinking ahead and then acting ruthlessly. While the rest of us were playing checkers, its executives were playing three-dimensional chess.–end of desmogblog info–
As one who lived pre-Roe vs. Wade, some women are aware of the efforts of some Feminists to secure equality for women has been ongoing in the headwinds of arrogance from those who grew up with rights women pre-Roe vs. Wade didn’t have.  
May one suggest those who fought for women’s rights then and throughout the decades since, may have something to share on the topic of defending human rights?  –https://mailchi.mp/157df88e0b1b/era-in-the-news-may-8-4991662?e=9fd5b10b7d       —

The ERA in the NEWS is a weekly newsletter highlighting the media stories published nationally and internationally about the Equal Rights Amendment. The dates below pertain to the date on which the story was published.

Question your Representatives of The People about the reason a large increase in the budget for the Pentagon is possible while exploitation of the public continues by hierarchical Establishment. Consider whether the lie that “we are a 2-Party system” is the red herring to protect a Pyramid-Scheme economy.  Question whether money in politics is corruption.  
Good governance isn’t based upon physiognomy but that a particular physiognomy and gender has given us in 2021 a USA that is diminishing as to democracy says something.  To remember that Bernie Sanders would probably be our President today if it wasn’t for Establishment-protecting Clyburn, and that it was due to efforts by activists that Obama didn’t “fast-track” TPP is evidence that corruption is color blind.  But that the system in place plays to the greed of the least among us seems to be built upon the genius of white men suggests that a change in integrity in government should not be feared by voters.https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/585368-publicist-linked-to-kanye-west-pushed-election-worker-to

Remembering the funding in our national budget for the Pentagon, we might wish to ruminate about the FACT that so far, Climate Change is our greatest national security risk.
The phrase “fast-track TPP’ translated for some people into “let’s send American jobs overseas, put manufacturing of products under the control of foreign nations, and expose local US communities to exploitation by multi-national corporations”.  But perhaps nobody had thought through thoroughly that policy.

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!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–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.
