Well Aware, Sorry to flog a dead horse, but you are bound to have seen some "debate" clips from last night. I watched the Kennedy 3-way debate, as did over 2/3 of debate-watchers, I have read. I mostly left the sound off, as an active tab, occasionally popping in, but I can't stand much at a time. I presume that you know the feeling. Jenny said her Facebook feed was dead; no debate comments from her mostly Democratic friends, very unlike 2016 and 2020.
Isn't it amazing how all the wars that the USA initiates/gets involved in all miraculously seem to be thousands of miles away from the Lower 48, eh?
It's so easy to be salivating at the mouth if you don't see your own cities bombed to a pulp, isn't it? When it isn't your children getting legs amputated as orphans.
I mean, Iraq, the Balkans, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, mainland Europe: every major war the US has undertaken has been in someone else's back yard.
Sure, you've engaged in plenty of coups d'etat in neighbouring little countries. Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, most of South America, plenty of little African States. More recently in Ukraine too...
It's very striking how the US responded to 9/11, a totally minimal day compared to the millions killed by the USA overseas the past 80 years. The whole US nation became a blubbering, hysterical bunch of crybabies. Yet apparently, when over 1 million Vietnamese were bombed to a pulp and their descendents mutated due to Agent Orange, that's just one of those things.
Lord knows what would happen if some geoengineering nutcases triggered the San Andreas Fault sufficiently to flatten LA and/or San Francisco. Or if some nuclear nutcases flattened Chicago, NYC, Washington DC, Seattle and Baltimore???
The easiest way to turn Americans away from war, in my book, is to make them all think apocalyptically about what America would be like to live in if World War III's primary theatre were the great cities of the Lower 48.....
At this point, sure, Jill Stein. But would rather vote for Nobody. I don't want to send any decent human into that cesspool, the odds are well against any good outcome.
Elections are scams from start to finish. What would an AI conclude? It doesn’t even have to be conscious. Just intelligent.
Substitute “elections” for “nuclear weapons” in movies like
War Games and play out all the scenarios.
Candidates are preemptively denied eligibility even though they meet all constitutional requirements and violate none.
Party primaries are not democratic by the, deemed legal, privilege of ownership as judged in favor of the DNC. The Parties, outright, own their primaries and the public owns nothing. Elections are demonstrably NOT of, by and for . . . us.
I get it, but this is a year like 1968, a year that things really change in a lot of ways, that the human ecosystem has to adapt to the change of stressors and supplies.
It has to change, so work it however you can, Brother.

Thanks for pointing this out. Once in a while these facts hit me too - yet again - and I'm overwhelmed with disgust.
Frankly I don't think Americans CAN really imagine being attacked. it is something you have to experience to drive it home, create fear.
Thanks Eleni.
You are "that type" too, my Greek Truth-Sister-in-Arms.
People follow mass media. It was similar for Britons under the empire, wasn't it? ;-(
People are not designed to see the big picture and act independently, except for a few of us, maybe 7% or so.
You and I seem to be that type.
How does Joe Biden know how high the stakes are if he is severely cognitively challenged?
It is pandering, isn't it?
;-)
The key was "public comments by people he trusts", but the real key is probably Obama and the DNC machine.
You can vote, but you can not hide.
At this point, sure, Jill Stein. But would rather vote for Nobody. I don't want to send any decent human into that cesspool, the odds are well against any good outcome.
Remember, voting is a big, important opinion-poll.
;-)
At first my assumption was that bobby jnr was campaigning to be elected
US president in the 2028 election - then he went Independent...
After The Great Debate i'm assuming bobby jnr will agree to replace Prez
Biden in this year's election, having established for himself the attentions of many...
If he doesnt agree, while he'll draw off votes from Trump, he's now likely to draw
even more from Biden, or any likely replacement...
Should the Democrats lose because of him, his 2028 chances of winning will be
affected... But then again, i'm assuming the ballot boxes wont be stuffed again,
and the election wont be rigged AGAIN...
What does history want now?
:-)
I give Prez Biden's handlers the full 10 points for Biden 's only
spot on & memorable utterance, "It's hard to debate a liar !"
Though some points have to be deducted for Bidens forgetting
to mention before The Great Debate that he "had a sore throat"...
"Dr. Jill" did the very best that a handler can do, it seems, but what does history call for now?
I think history calls for a fully competent wartime leader with clear vision, somebody like Charles De Gaulle, or Vladimir Putin, for instance.
"But then again, i'm assuming ... the election wont be rigged AGAIN..."
Why?
I presume that it WILL be rigged, but a rig can only go so far, as we discovered in 2016, to the surprise of Clinton AND Trump.
We hold these truths to be self evident.

So who will the Dems run?
Bernie Sanders is in pretty good shape and would garner a LOT of votes.
;-D
Don't know but it is (and probably has been for some time) already scripted. At this point, i couldn't give a s**t.
Sorry.
