      So what you're saying is that you don't have the common decency to recognize that, like all other peoples, Jews have a right to a state in their ancestral homeland? And you're surprised that people call you an antisemite?

      That is only true if you consider worker's rights, reproductive rights, and environmental protections to be irrelevant.
      I fully agree with this video that foreign policy appears to be completely depoliticized in the U.S., but there is more to politics than that. I'd say the real issue is the media, which are consistent in their pro-billionaire "there is no alternative" messaging. The resulting apathy is what allows politicians to get away with almost anything.

      @@MarianneExJohnsondemocrats haven’t done piss for the environment or workers rights. The past 4 years should have made that abundantly clear. As for reproductive rights, Dems had 40 years to codify Roe v Wade into law but didn’t. If the Dems actually cared, HRC would have not chosen a pro-lifer as her VP pick in 2016.

      Lifeboat ethics is what is driving global policy. The Malthusians think the world is overpopulated so they devise schemes to kill huge swathes off. The fact is that there is enough space and with properly managed natural resources, (not squandered on bombing and reconstruction), quality education, humanity can face any future challenges.

      Vote by writing in one's preferred choice.
      Just like taking a university exam.
      If the question or choices are inadequate, write down the right question ans answer and explain enough. Be brief, candid and stick to facts. Don't boast aloud or embarrass the boss.
      Partial credit and more likely will be forthcoming, including the next exam .
      Often the bad question is tossed out and one doesn't lack so much.
      It's empowering and correcting.
      One teaches as two learn.
      Play The Greatest Gravest Game of Life.
      Never meant to be passive or spectator or blindly obedient sport.
      You see?!
      If Giving bad a or b, choose c, or non of the above.
      Why not?
      Better than the status quo 7 days a week , 365 +-
      IMHO
      THEY'LL NOTICE .
      Does the nail that stands out, get hammered down or shall the squeaky wheel get oiled!?
      Go wherever you are valued validly.
      Some hate all you do. Shun them ams provide your Good example.
      Those that truly approved you via right thinking, feelings and actions, support and protect them.
      A TEAM.
      Humans are supposed to be teams not neurotic UN natural, solo crazed ∆ -holes awol and MIA acting like TV id iotas.
      IMHO.
      Get real
      Get outside
      Communicate amongst many different relevant communities.
      All politics matter most, locally. Ignorance of local power reality is the cornerstone of bad empires, bz and religion, as I understand increasingly.

      No :] vote socialist! Green party platform is still capitalist at it's core. Stein offers nothing different from what Ross Perot offered - and he won 20% of the popular vote, which resulted in - drumroll - zero electoral college votes.
      The purpose of voting is not to elect a third party candidate - that cannot happen. Instead, we vote socialist to build a working class led movement to break capitalist hegemony, which is what Jill Stein offers. Just my 1¢. Electoral politics, as stated in the video, do not serve the function they're advertised to serve. So we must not fall into the trap of trying to vote our way out of a problem that voting cannot address.
