I took that position and stand by it.
And now, a vote for Biden is a vote for the business class and
business as usual.
Now, some realists argued that a vote, say, for Jill Stein was ok if
you were in a state where Trump had no chance, but, as sick as Trump
makes us everyday, Biden or Obama or whatever Business class Dem they
put up, just smells a little better, looks a bit more civil and nice,
smarter, saner, but is as deadly to working people. Sure, Choice, for
example, and the Courts, on a hundred issues that are super important,
and so on, so we need to be real and get Trump out, but what will
change is very little with the Dems, they are not substantially
different from the Reps. And, now that Sanders, no socialist but
merely a Left leaning Dem, out, we can expect that the Dems will race
to the Right and if elected slide to the right and to the right again
after elections to repay their corporate sponsors. To win back
Democracy americans need more than a squad of centrists. and crisis
after crisis is not enough to make the kind of radical change
necessary. america is old. bunch of old folks don't make a revolution.
