I mean, the title says it all right there. Americans are forced to choose between these two old white men who have rape accusations and cognitive issues. Former President Trump has been convicted with falsifying his records to hide hush money for his affair, but he has three other cases still pending against him. The GOP has propped up a criminal/insurrectionist as the best of their best? The Dems have propped up a war criminal as the best of their best?
Honestly, Trump and Biden are both criminals and war criminals. There’s not a doubt in my mind that Biden has some shady business deals or some sort of criminal skeleton in his closet, just as I am sure that Trump has committed war crimes. The only difference in crimes is that Biden has not advocated for an insurrection. Who knows though? When he loses to Dr. Jill Stein, he may pull a Trump and storm the Capitol with fellow liberals/conservatives.
The history in office of both presidents shows that they are both oppressors. There’s not much of a difference between them. They are not enhancing American’s rights, they are restricting and removing our rights. This is the lens to look through because their similarities are glaringly apparent under it.
But how do we have these two men as options? Aren’t these major political parties embarrassed? I’m embarrassed for them. That is your best?
A racist, rapist, criminal/war criminal is the best they have to offer? That says a lot about the parties if they think these are the type of people to be elected to the highest office. It says these parties do not have a lot to offer but the horrible aspects that their candidates fully embody.
With Trump’s conviction, he is likely to lose voters. Good, he should and it gives me hope that polls are showing a decline in supporters among Republicans and even his staunch MAGAs. At least voters have a conscience, not the parties though.
The DNC has had to change their nominating process for president and vice president because of an Ohio deadline, which means that the Democrats will be voting for their nominee virtually. This further eliminates representation for voters because many had hopes that Biden would be taken off the ballot and the nomination switched to another candidate at the convention.
That’s okay because the Democratic Party has shown who and what they are over the course of the war on Gaza and they have proven that they cannot be trusted. Roe was never protected. Immigration was never opened up. Climate change has not been taken seriously. Nature is not being protected. These are all issues that the Democrats have failed before Israel’s genocide of Palestinians began. Now we can add genocide supporters and human rights abusers. Wow. That makes the Democrats sound just like the Republicans…
It’s time to vote 3rd party.
I often refrain from discussing the Republicans because it is impossible to take them seriously because their rhetoric is so violent and extreme. It is hard to imagine anyone who would openly support a party that is regressive and its intent is to eliminate our rights. Who chooses to lose their rights? This is where the Republicans frame the loss of rights to be the rights of the “bad guy” but what the Republican voters do not understand is that it is also their rights and not just this supposed “bad guy” that the Republicans have chosen to frame as the “bad guy” who are losing rights. Everyone loses rights under Republicans. The only rights they want to expand are those who profit off of Americans, the elite. Republican elected officials just want to stay in office and will do whatever the campaign donations dictate for them to do.
The Democrats are no different in this regard, being bound to their campaign donors. Neither party is bound to campaign promises, but they are bound to their donors!
Neither party represents an entire swath of leftist and progressive voters. We have no one in elected office representing us and that is alarming. These two parties want to silence and repress the leftists so they can be characterized as radicals when these two parties are the ones disenfranchising voters to gain power.
This is why we must dismantle the two-party system.
This is why we have to vote 3rd party.
It can be done. It has been done before.
We can shift things this November.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
