Carl,
You're sounding different than you did in 2012. You could vote for Clinton
as opposed to the Republican candidates? But four years ago you could not
vote for Obama as opposed to Romney. Do you think that these guys are worse
than he was? Romney and Ryan were promising precisely the same things.
Clinton will do precisely what Obama is doing, only with more cooperation,
if possible, with Israel and the Neo Cons.

Well Bob, the news isn't all that positive regarding us working stiffs
getting together. We've been misdirected for so long, and I suspect we also
enjoy squabbling, so that we are in a long, long learning curve. But I
notice more and more people figuring it out. Still, we have situations like
the women who disrupted Sanders in Seattle, who are so self-focused that
they simply have to make their point as they drive wedges. We'll see if
Sanders has the ability to spin such divisiveness to his advantage. Have
you noticed that Hillary Clinton is sounding more like Bernie Sanders?
Anyway, it's all smoke and mirrors until we see some real tangible proof.
Still, the problem goes far beyond the good old U. S. of A. Every nation
sees itself as better than all other nations. Because the American Empire
is the big bully on the block, we get to have the loudest bragging rights.
How do we ever get to the place where all people see all people as worthy of
respect? How do we look past the window dressing each of us, and each
nation has put in place, and get to the real people?
The prospects are slim to grim, and at best the solutions are way down the
road. So whatever we do today should be with the understanding that it is
an effort toward a temporary fix. I can support Bernie Sanders, knowing
that he is not going to bring us into a new age, just so long as I continue
working for that dream of One People, One Earth goal. Hell, I could even
vote for Hillary if it came down to Clinton versus any one of the Top Ten
RepubliClowns. Sure, she would continue to strong arm the rest of the
world, bend the rules for the Corporate Citizens, and make meaningless
mouthings to the Working Class, but with enough pressure we could hold a few
lines. That is something we could not do with the gang from the other side
of the aisle. But still, it is all with the understanding that no matter
what we do, the current Empire, and the Empires around the globe who are
also jockeying for dominance, must eventually be disposed and replaced with
a world-wide, one people nation. What that will look like will depend upon
the farsightedness of those future planners and designers.

Hey Carl,
Very well said as to how groups at the bottom tend to fight each other
when they should be unified against the ruling class. That is exactly
what the ruling class wants. Notice how the media often focuses on the
horse races of pols and the times when those at the bottom fight each
other. I must agree that much of it is a show designed to keep us down
and to keep us fighting eachd other.
So, the quessstion is how do we who are oppressed rise above the very
human tendency to keep on doing what we've been doing and fight each
other. It has been said that insanity is continuing to act in a
certain whay when it has proven to be unsuccessful. Until and unless
we who are oppressed, the poor, African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics,
Gays and persons with disabilities can learn to put our differences
aside and focus on the bigger picture, things wil not improve.
