Joe Biden Didn't Fail To Get A Ceasefire - He Never Tried

U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

Pay less attention to the two candidates the Democrats and Republicans have offered you to choose from, and pay more attention to the choices they HAVEN’T offered you.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will stop funding the genocide in Gaza.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will end U.S. warmongering, militarism, or imperialism.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will fight against the destruction of our ecosystem.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will end homelessness and care for the needful.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will ensure that everyone working 40 hours a week can afford a decent place to live.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will get money out of politics.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will break up monopolistic mega-corporations.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will fight the exploitative imbalance of power the capitalist class has over workers.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will roll back the authoritarianism, surveillance and police militarization you’ve been seeing in your country.

They haven’t offered you a candidate who will end the war on drugs.

They haven’t even offered you a candidate who will give your country a normal functioning healthcare system.

You can learn a lot more from looking at what ISN’T on the ballot than you can by looking at what is.

Peace, justice and equality are not on the ballot. Ending ecocide, ending poverty or ending corruption are not on the ballot. The only viable candidates do not offer these things. The candidates who do offer any of these things will be prevented from coming anywhere close to victory.

This fact has orders of magnitude more direct impact on you and those around you than the relatively superficial differences between Harris and Trump ever will.

If you look at the entire global behavior of the U.S. empire as a whole, the difference between what it would look like if Trump were president and what it would look like under Harris is probably something like one tenth of one percent, and even that’s being generous.
