PR for political parties Democratic and Republican seem to groom their clients to maintain a sorority/fraternity persona, that harms most people attempting real life.   It’s also not a good look for a leader.  Maturity and interest seem better.

Bullying from the Republican fraternity matches clique-like sweetness of the Democratic sorority.  Both cater to the privilege of each and do nothing for the electorate.  The public will benefit if politicians can grow out of this obnoxious phase and into leadership.

Representative Hern on Vaccine Mandates and News of the Day

Representative Kevin Hern (R-OK), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, talked about President Biden’s vaccine mandates, economic proposals, and congressional news of the day.—–end of c-span info–
Representative Kevin Hern apparently “was a business owner” and spoke this morning about government mandates on businesses.  The tension between government and commerce that has been exacerbated during the pandemic raises a few thoughts—-*Government needs commerce as much as commerce needs government*The Founders had a heady moment of self-governance and free trade in 1776*Afterward the USA cycled back into the maelstrom of hierarchical privilege and greed*Rhetoric from governmental bureaucrats/politicians and commercial interests in 2022 effectively deflects from the disturbing expanding autonomy of this collaboration
Capitalism is hierarchical and is not free trade.
We are not “a 2-Party system”.
Money in politics that was legalized by the Supreme Court decision called Citizens United is corruption.
The Fraternity is passing laws to ensure politicians can choose their voters as effectively as the Sorority censored 3rd-Party political candidates which is another version of politicians choosing their voters rather than voters choosing their politicians.
On the Sorority side of the duopoly, sweet naivete has given us a cadre of characters catering to hierarchical supremacy under the all-too-feminine annals that if you use down-home charm, others will reciprocate—-https://popular.info/p/the-silence-of-109-corporations-who?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMTU0NTE0LCJwb3N0X2lkIjo0Njk3OTU5MSwiXyI6Im1NbU8xIiwiaWF0IjoxNjQyMDE0ODk2LCJleHAiOjE2NDIwMTg0OTYsImlzcyI6InB1Yi0xNjY0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.hHltaZ_6piqmzBxwCwmj6gA45LDHSw4X1LHPI7OVYKc       –Seventeen years later, corporate America still likes to talk about its support for voting rights. Last year, over 100 companies signed a letter declaring their principled support for voting rights, their opposition to the state bills restricting voting, and their belief that action to protect voting rights was critical. But, as the fight for voting rights hits a critical juncture, virtually all of these corporations have gone quiet. –end of popular info–
Apparently Biden was the Democratic bad boy who could defend the virtues of his followers.  Hmmm…..Being an enabler never really works.
And, one can’t say it too often and probably does….owning a high-price degree from an institution of higher learning doesn’t guarantee critical-thinking ability.   But it surely seems to promote cliques.  
The clique character of US governance is comfortable with mature leadership, must be a topic for discussion.  And so, we see the censorship from the fraternity/sorority duopoly of 3rd-Party voices.

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.
