Promising is the renewed interest in voting and our government.  It does however raise several questions about voters.

7:42AM–paraphrase–caller–We should have 3 political parties…..Democratic, Republican, and Independent….
Well, we do; and in FACT we have more than 3 political parties.  A few members of the electorate are so dramatically ignorant on this topic thanks to the propaganda from the Republican/Democratic duopoly and the corporate-owned-politically-influenced MSM.  Even C-Span insists on pigeon-holing callers into these 3 categories, when callers may better call in as interested citizens.
Another issue raised is whether non-citizens should be allowed to vote.
After an excited coterie of youngsters raised some dust as they united to go en masse to commercial interests to beg for their right to vote, that anomaly seems to have awoken a bit more.
To insist on a citizen choosing a political Party, the illegitimate notion of the importance of political Parties is elevated to a level where political Parties control their voters rather than voters controlling their political Party, or no Party if so chosen.
Our common-core style of education has also contributed to breath-taking ignorance on the topic of self-governance, in which history is indoctrinated into the public as written by the winners rather than FACTually.
Myopic cliques add to the problem, in one person’s view.  The validity of, for example, CRT is overshadowed when one wonders about the misconception, for example, sold by the Democratic Party that MLK, Jr. was somehow supportive of capitalism during the 2020 Presidential campaign.  FACTually and in his own words, a simple web search would informed the ignorant that MLK, Jr. may more nearly have identified as a democratic socialist.  It would appear that those self-promoting byway of meritocracy stooped to said bait-and-switch to further undermine information for the electorate.https://mlkglobal.org/2017/11/23/martin-luther-king-on-capitalism-in-his-own-words/

Preoccupation over educating about events of 400 years ago may overshadow more recent history that is also crucial and as relevant.
This relates to the Democratic/Republican duopoly (Capitalist Party) because the Democratic Party has used race as a clarifying plank in their platform at the same time such history is misinterpreted.  But that is precisely the self-interest President George Washington seemed to speak to—In his farewell Presidential address, George Washington advised American citizens to view themselves as a cohesive unit and avoid political parties and issued a special warning to be wary of attachments and entanglements with other nations. … In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances with other nations.—end of documents.gov info
Each of the branches of the Republican/Democratic duopoly rely on cliches in attracting supporters.  Individuality isn’t helpful to hierarchy.

Based on the above examples and others, it is possible that enhanced rationality is yet another part of the constellation of characteristics associated with autism (though an understudied and not well-recognised one).–end of psyche info–
Considering our political arena in 2022, that Establishment is worried about the mental health of Americans seems odd.  With historic substance-abuse epidemics in the USA, too often industry-enriching, demands for homogenization of the public pertaining to mental health,  could be questionable.

The electorate would benefit from an honest political debate with candidates, but we haven’t had one in a very long time.  Ross Perot frightened the Republican and Democratic duopoly when he caught the attention of the electorate in 1992.  And so censorship of 3rd-Party candidates became the norm.  Chipping away of different voices is the work of hierarchy in the system that is capitalism.  We will be down to one of the D or R political Parties in control, at which point the dictatorship will be complete, in one person’s view.https://www.npr.org/2022/01/13/1072765939/republicans-threaten-to-no-longer-participate-in-traditional-general-election-de

Neither the Democratic or Republican Party should be held up as the backbone of democracy.  In FACT, to do so totally misunderstands the place for political Parties in our government that should instead be about the electorate.
The joke of the Former USSR was the 1-Party system that was the Communist Party.  It is not better to have a 2-Party system that is the Capitalist Party meandering into an eventual 1-Party system.

We deserve better.      https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud–LEAGUE REFUSES TO “HELP PERPETRATE A FRAUD”

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.
