Hey, stanky!
I see your hero, RFK Jr has now endorsed Trump, who's promised him a position in health if he wins.
I presume you must now vote for Trump, since Junior says you should. After all, he's such a pacifist good bloke he can't be wrong.
Ah shit. A position in health? Just what we need. Another antivaxxer fucking up the health care system.
Damn!
sad to see such pat reactions to media nonsense.
jr. has done nothing to fuck up health care.
he's more about bringing some regulations back to prevent the sort of fraud that Pfizer (and others) have paid huge fines for. (prior to covid, btw) not that anyone can hear outside of their range, but our fucked health care system is a feature of our oligarchy in action...as are the overpriced, over prescribed, often shitty drugs that feed them money.
Harris, as prez, will certainly not upset that cart, though she will speak passionately about doing just that.
Pains me to see knee jerk reactions that are wafer thin and oft repeated.
my seeming promotion of bobby is in reaction to the full blown myopia of the status quo, with the 2 flavors.
it's moot, of course, but when i conveyed my preference for rfk jr, the alternatives were a guy in a coma and a raving con-man out to be dictator.
in that light, i couldn't grasp the shit reaction i got.
no matter anyway, for none of them will crack through the power structure of the new america. new world.
you know, the one Eisenhower warned us about, as did JFK after him. Ike, a republican and a high ranking military man and jfk, a true blue dem and bit of a hipster...different as it gets...and both warned of this.
and now, THIS is what we have.
(and it makes a joke of surface politic and naked kings. the election becomes theater more than a live game.
soon, even the pretense of democracy will be unnecessary.
nothing could make me vote for Trump.
(although, after his death, it's hard to imagine what could come forth from maga-mania. could take a hard left, or a hard right. guaranteed corruption, in balance with the dems corruption so's nobody dumps on the game.
we can't change because they got something on you. everyone's got something they're not proud of and now it's probably on line.
we're black-mailed by our fear of going to detention, essentially.
boycotts may already be hobbled via the new shopping and money transactions being visible, and control of money flow disrupted, to prevent conspiratorial activity in the name of homeland security.
Not buying a product, in coordination with others, might fall within the broad "terrorism" label. For which, one can be detained indefinitely without charges or free lawyers. We're very close to dystopia; not even entertaining utopia, whilst the big villains suck ever more vital fluids from our toil, without regard even for their own evil sustainability.
