THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS IS STILL EVIL

Why is the USA in this position?

Because its political system is based on hard cash.

You will not succeed in American politics without big money behind you. It’s simply not possible.

Bernie Sanders broke the mold of how this is done however by basically being crowdfunded.

If he wasn’t so old and wedded to the Democratic Party he could create one hell of a dynamic third party. Sadly, both these aspects of the man mean there will be no third party to challenge the two major U.S. parties led by him.

But he has shown the way. If enough people want to see a third major party emerge they can see it happen by backing one with some cash. That was a more doable venture before the pandemic hit but there’s time enough before the next major elections.

I can see that many Americans are now totally sick of the two party dictatorship wherein they are both dictated to by moneyed interests. The billionaires, the millionaires, the corporations and their lobbyists along with corporate-owned mass media, they all conspire to keep America where it is, working in only their interests, not in the interests of the American people as a whole.

If enough people are sicked sufficiently then sooner later something’s gotta give. Surely people will only take so much of being lied to and led into wars they don’t want, having to make do with third rate infrastructure when many other nations are upgrading to 21st century standards?

Sticking always with the lesser of two evils cannot possibly move things forward, only a crowdfunded third party that is not beholden to any of the big money interests will have the incentive and make the commitment to making the changes that are so desperately needed by the people of the USA now.

It will take guts. It will take switching off the two-party circus of the damned. It will take a boycott of mainstream media news and their “I’m totally right and you’re totally wrong!” mentality. It will take caring more for your nation and its people than petty arguments along these lines. Because both parties are wrong at this point to greater or lesser degree. And both of them a very high percentage of the time do what a small clique of wealthy individuals and boards of directors tell them to do, either directly or because the politicians involved don’t want to get on their wrong side... in case they switch sides.

There is a full spectrum of possibilities out there in this new, modern world. Why stick with two old dinosaur parties, both of which use only a tiny fraction of that entire spectrum? For that is where America is at right now. You see it daily. The fixed mindsets that argue constantly over the same issues, the tiny set of hard-nosed warmongers who seem to come from an entirely different age, the lobbyists with an agenda to keep things just as they are with all the various negatives that involves and institutions across the board from the police to the military who like things just as they are.
America is leaving making the change to a truly modern and globally inclusive political system very late. A two-headed monopoly is fighting to stay in power, both happy to be just where they are, win or lose, with a seat at the table. Why do you think the Democrats were so anxious to undermine Bernie again and replace him with an establishment bruiser? Because this way, even if they lose, they are still up there, all the establishment veterans, still addicted to that whiff of power they get win or lose.

This is hopefully the last presidential election where only two powerful parties vie to gain a virtual dictatorship for the next four years. By 2024 let there be a revolution like the one Bernie called for but again failed to ignite as fully as needed. Get your act together people.

End this interminable battle between two evils and the sickening choice between them. Get that third party up to speed, fund it to the hilt... and have an end to this evil. If you do the world will gladly welcome you as a true partner to the world, not as its overlord. And no longer will the memory linger of those two historic evils, Biden and Trump.
