“It’s difficult to view the presidential election as anything but fluff with about 10 weeks left until November. In the US, the electorate has been viewed by the power elite of the military-industrial-investment-government complex as passive non-actors in the elite’s relentless campaign for power and greed. The point in this presidential election is to scare the hell out of enough people so they will vote for the neoliberal Harris, or alternately, to anger a voting base enough to put the ignoramus Trump back in the White House. Either way the power elite wins, and all of us, voters and nonvoters alike, get more wars, environmental ruin, and less of what would make for a sustainable life to go around.” (08/30/24)
