And what will happen when Hillary is elected? We'll have even more wars, a
continuation of our subservience to the financial industry and big
corporations, continued erosion of our civil liberties, greater economic
inequality which will begin to be felt by people who consider themselves to
be middle class and immune to the indignity of poverty, a continuation of
institutionalized racism with police murders of people of color going
unchecked, continued deportation of poor immigrants of color regardless of
their situation, increasing medical costs for people who have medical
insurance, continued disregard of how our handling of fossil fuels is
fueling the catastrophe of global warming, and all of it camouflaged by the
language of social justice, freedom, and equality. I've posted at least 3
articles which indicate why some people voted for Brexit and what the
consequences may be. Our situation is very complicated and those of us who
choose to cling to the status quo are like the frog in the pot of water
which is slowly heating on the stove, moving toward the boiling point. So
let's not judge people too harshly for the choices they make.

Subject: [blind-democracy] CBS this morning
CBS this morning ran a piece about the British vote and made a big point of
how many Brits are now saying that they regret their vote and that they only
voted for it as a protest vote thinking that it could never pass. This is
the reality of these "protest votes". It may make the person feel good but
wait until the morning after. This greatly foreshadows what will happen here
in the US in November as all of these portest votes will only put the GOP in
the White House and come the morning after said protestors will be
complaining of got elected.
