People who focus on economic expansion at the expense of quality of life on Earth must be in denial.  Denial is an all-too-human frailty.

A large portion of American voters supported Bernie Sanders who promoted policies far different from that of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  In what fantasy world did anyone believe the capitalistic hierarchical Establishment of the D&R duopoly would be unique from each other?  Joe Biden was shoe-horned into office by the Democratic elite using censorship and denigration of views other than their own.  One recalls with disgust watching the Trump Administration Cabinet display on media; but at least they were identifiable.  In contrast, the Biden Administration Cabinet, many of whom were responsible for the most disgusting attacks on Bernie Sanders, is probably not identifiable by the average voter.  
Trump seems as valuable to the Republican Party for providing bellicose ignorance behind which hierarchy functions as does Biden seem valuable to the Democratic Party for providing a folksy compliant facade behind which hierarchy functions.  Consider the fealty of each to The Military-Industrial Complex as reported in the following—

Reading has always been cool…..maybe the parents should read these books?  Books are a beginning, not an ending.  Quite simply fuel for critical thinking.  One would think an adult would be capable of dealing with a reading child.https://portside.org/2021-12-31/book-banning-parents-are-making-reading-cool       –At the very least, the censorship campaigns may encourage kids to read more. I like the idea of enterprising teens wielding the Krause agenda like a summer reading list, checking off every title, one by one, until they’ve firmly opened their third eye.

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.
