VOTER RESPONSIBILITY
VOTER RESPONSIBILITY
Neera Tandon, a Democratic campaign strategist loud and prominent in 2020, was back speaking about Biden’s new attempts to lower drug prices. Wasn’t she the obnoxious person who characterized universal-health care advocate Bernie Sanders as “making her skin crawl”?….Like anyone cared.
MORALITY IN GOVERNMENT
MORALITY IN GOVERNMENT
C-Span rendered an enormous benefit by airing each of Marianne Williamson and Cornel West, both expressing actual morality in government. To air such voices is of critical importance for the mindset of Americans, who have recently been indoctrinated into acceptance of hierarchical capitalism that on a continuum is organized crime, in place of liberty and democracy.
CHURCH AND STATE
CHURCH AND STATE
The awkward non-starter idea of “running government like a business” is either preciously naive or evil.
ORANGE OLIGARCH
ORANGE OLIGARCH
Citizens United and voter somnolence are probably the reasons laws have been passed that have created our current oligarchy.
JUSTIFIED
Justified
C-Span hosted a discussion this morning on Washington Journal as to whether the US should continue to fund genocide by Israel toward Palestinians. It is convenient that the issues of racism and anti-semitism can be raised on “both sides”. During the 2020 Presidential-electoral-campaign cycle, racism was used prominently as some people whitewashed skin color over character as motivating voter strategy. And so the currently well informed Bernie Sanders who was held up as being not sufficiently woke by lemming-leader Jim Clyburn, insinuated as one of higher character, the genocide-funding Joe Biden as displayed in Israel.

HAPPY VALLEY
HAPPY VALLEY
The discussion on C-Span opened the door in the minds of some people of bygone days in Happy Valley, AKA The Southern Tier of NYS. A presumption is totalitarianism.
RUSSIAN STYLE 1-CANDIDATE ELECTIONS
The C-Span call in is for Republicans only, on the question of whether Nikki Haley should stay in the race. Apparent MAGA callers want her censored out of the race, according to their comments.
SEPARATION OF POWER
For those who argue that we are a Constitutional Republic and not a democracy, one wishes an explanation that the People’s Republic of China is labeled communistic. Both democracy and communism are process, and to mix the two with the notion of a Republic is word play.
MAY We ASK A QUESTION?
If Representatives Of The People hold dual citizenship, to which nation do she/he legislate? Should this info be transparent?
EDUCATED INTO COMPLIANCE
Local communities have choices to make that will create the future into which future children will live.
PEACEFUL REVOLUTION–THINK–
The Military-Industrial Complex isn’t We The People, Hamas is not the Palestinian local community, and the Israels who spent the last several weeks vociferously protesting their ultra-right-wing governance isn’t the Israeli government.
PARTY FREE
As one unrestrained by Party captivity, one will vote as happily for Cornel West in the Independent Party ballot position as on a Green Party ballot position, if one so chooses. The vote will be for he best choice for President, which at this point includes all or any of Marianne Williamson, RFK, Jr., or Cornel West.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
A change is in the wind in MSM as it catches the tail end of awakening to governance in the USA that seems intent on destroying democracy.
DON’T CONFUSE THE CURTAIN WITH THE WIZARD
We spend too much time worrying about the curtain rather than the wizard.
