Americans [and Canadians with our prime ministers, for that matter] collectively deserve far better than just either the usual callous conservative or neo/faux liberal in the White House.
It’s no longer sufficient for the institutional Democratic Party’s presidential candidate(s) to simply fully support party policy on core ‘woke’ issues: those of race, sexuality, gender, gender bending and unrestricted abortion access. A large enough proportion of Americans are financially struggling just that much.
Some non-corporately-commissioned polls have shown that a majority of Americans favor the governmental implementation of some public programs, especially universal health care. Yet, the Democratic National Committee apparently refuses to allow the genuinely fiscally progressive Senator Bernie Sanders as its presidential nominee, however many Democrat voters want(ed) him.
For example, every county in West Virginia voted for Sanders in the 2016 primaries, yet the DNC declared them as wins for Hillary Clinton! That doesn’t sound very democratic, does it?
I find it arrogantly presumptuous of the DNC and party (etcetera) to expect economically disenfranchised citizens to vote for an establishment Democrat candidate [e.g. Hillary Clinton] with thinly veiled ties to corporate interests and who’s not going to improve the poor person’s lot in life — simply to vote out or keep out an undesirable Republican. And have to wait in long bad-weather lineups to do so.
Americans collectively deserve far better than just either the usual callous conservative or neo/faux liberal in the White House. But they likely won’t get it, according to ‘Calamity’ Jane Bodine’s very memorable line in the film ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’: “If voting changed anything [in favor of the weak/poor/disenfranchised] they’d have made it illegal.”
