I can't choose between either one because there is no real choice. The deep state runs & ruins it all, regardless. Doesn't matter what flavor the frosting.

Genocide Ukraine & Palestine

Genocide Palestine & Ukraine..

I can relate to this, but Plato warned: One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

I tried participating. After decades as an independent, joined a party, worked phones, attended a big event, got up to speak extemporaneously, was extremely well received.

It makes no difference. The corruption was deeply embedded before I was born.

I was in the 5th grade when they killed JFK. 14 years old when the Delaware County Peace Action Group invited me to be their youngest draft counselor in history. High school when they killed RFK & MLK, along with 4 college kids at Kent State.

There's a point when you realize all you can do is turn your back, carry water, chop wood, tend your garden, build something of a life raft & let the titanic sink.

Because even if everybody grabbed a bucket & started bailing today, this sucker is going down.
