It's not a democracy folks, it's an oligarchic kakistocracy ... government by the dumbest and least qualified, for the sole benefit of corporations and the uber wealthy. So, what to do?
This may seem a non-sequitur but what I have decide is this… I will not be paying my taxes this year. We will then see ‘… because justice matters.’ How long before the poor old man living above the garage is fined or in jail versus all these other rich bastards running the country. I’ll let you know how it turns out because ‘… there is no justice for the common man or the poor.’ Oh, BTW Spectrum is the ONLY wifi service in my city. For ten years I paid my 74 dollars a month to get the damn service. Now that I’m on SS the 74 bucks is too much. Spectrum is cutting me off April 1st because, ‘ …. greed matters and people don’t.’ I wonder how I’ll be in touch with doctors, family, friends, other bill pays, news? I don’t matter I guess.
Glen Kirchner (sp?) opens every segment with, ‘… because justice matters.’ I’m 73. I used to believe that. ‘Naive people are the most dangerous people,’ -Joseph Campbell. There is no justice. And I’m angry. I’m sad. And worst of all feeling betrayed.
We have all been betrayed ... and methodically suckered and played in a generations long scam.
Just watched this interesting interview with Jeffrey Sachs. The first half is specifically on the role and illegal manipulations of the CIA. Sach's assessment of the significance of the JFK assassination is the same as mine.
With the absent mind Biden presidency, the evidence is clear: the president does not run the country, unseen elements run the president. And that is not just true with Biden. Has been true since JFK. Sach's details the reasons for that view in the second half of the interview, showing how Victoria Nuland is an example of that reality.
My father, in my family who knew how corrupt things were long ago, used to listen to my anguished teen laments about so many vile and obvious instances and say, "Son, if you want to find justice, look in the dictionary."
After decades, the study of history, psychology and sociology, much introspection and some enlightenment, it's obvious to me our advanced intelligence, is still very much at the mercy of manipulations the most aggressive and psychopathic can manipulate to destruction. And the modes of destruction, both consequences of resource predation and production, along with those covertly and directly immediately applicable, are evidence of a failing expression of DNA. No system can overcome that, as for one thing, it perfectly suits the systems our most aggressive design. My only solace is, I knew we were fucked and didn't force more sentient creatures who'd know it too, into existence. And for now, attempting to practically reduce existential threats, now and to come for any I can. The kindness which many appreciate, but sadly, far fewer dominate, with avarice, temptation and violence.
As it stands right now, in every federal election to be held in 2024, Americans will have five choices. They will be able to:
~ Vote for the Democrat.
~ Vote for the Republican.
~ Vote Third [Fourth, Fifth, etc] Party.
~ Write-In Somebody/Anybody.
~ Not Vote.
What if there was a Sixth Choice?
What if on every ballot for every federal election there was also a designated spot for “None Of These Candidates”?
This presents the argument that “None Of These Candidates” should be on every ballot of every federal election, and proposes a nation-wide campaign to give the American Voters a real Alternative to ~ and an actual Antidote for ~ what America’s Ruling Political Class will give them for “choices” in 2024.
The best alternative to, antidote for, and action against those “choices” ~ that America’s Ruling Political Class is offering Voters in 2024 ~ is NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES [NOTC].
Casting one’s vote for any of the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Party candidates will accomplish nothing except give the individual Voter the satisfaction of having voted in accordance with her or his conscience. It will have no impact whatsoever on whether Trump or Biden gets elected.
But if all those contemplating voting 3rd, 4th, or 5th party voted instead for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES, it could have an impact. Certainly more than scattered votes for the different alternative candidates.
And if all those Voters ~ who have nobody to vote FOR in the election, and only Trump or Biden as who they are going to vote AGAINST being the next President by voting for the other guy, the so-called “lesser of two evils” ~ if all of those Voters voted NOTC, it could have an impact, as well.
And finally, if all those Voters ~ who are fed up enough with American politics to not vote for or against anybody, and not vote at all ~ if all those Voters had the opportunity to vote for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES as an alternative to Not Voting, it could also have an impact.
Done in sufficient numbers all across the nation, a strong showing by NOTC would send a very loud and clear message ~ a shot across the bow, as it were ~ to that Ruling Political Class that its time of unbridled, unchallenged, and unchallengeable political power is over.
And that having to choose between “the lesser of two evils” is really nothing but a thinly disguised version of “the evil of two lessers.” And is no longer an acceptable option.
So the Question becomes: How would one vote for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES and actually make a difference?
One very obvious option would be to organize and launch a nationwide, grass roots level campaign to get Voters to write-in “None Of These Candidates.”
An option to writing-in NOTC would be mandating ~ by State-established process and procedure [legislative action, voter referendum, etc] ~ that NOTC be available as a choice on all ballots for all federal elections held in that State.
Either and both of these things could happen very easily if a critical mass of conscientious, concerned, and committed Citizens determined to make exactly that happen in their State in plenty of time for Election2024; particularly in those states with US Senate elections.

Love it! it would be some real democracy. The one thing we know for sure, the next President, every Senator and every congress critter would be: "NOTC".
In my mind, I would be voting: "None Of These Cretins"
The turds are real. The Ds and Rs are the turdmeisters. The people deserve better and should demand better. I think this is the year we make our demands clear. That's why I'm supporting Dr. Jill Stein. People, Planet and Peace. The war criminals in DC and Israel can all go to jail and rot.

The 'turdmeisters' keeping pumping them out!
Anything but voting for the R-turds or the D-turds is the right thing to do.
