And The Clear Winner Is …..
FEAR
Because both sides
Are selling it from
Different directions
One side is mongering
That the bogeymen are
Coming across the “border”
As sinister socialism
Lurks in the shadows
With absolutely no plan
To conquer or eliminate
Just finger-pointing at fear
While the other side
Is touting that your
Alleged comfortable life
Will just be gone
Along with vague freedoms
You never use anyway
Locked up forever
If you don’t join up
In some safety in numbers
Preservation of a form
Government that works
For who it is intended
“We the people”*, aka the
Wealthy and connected
It always reverts back to
An egocentric attachment
Of one’s solipsistic
Selfish selection of
How will it perceptually
Benefit me, myself, and I
Like Mark Twain said
“If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.”
We will get the government we deserve
Based on our behaviors and
Our blind eye focus
On what benefits, you guessed it….. benefit me
Why else would we perpetually and voluntarily fund a
Military industrial complex mammalian murdering machine
When that same money could be spent on housing and
Food with the same global distribution efficiencies that
Brings everybody their latest gizmo they don’t need
On a host Gaia consciousness spaceship, we ALL live on
“The entire narrative of this country argues against the truth of who you are.”

Looking at the world through a windshield. 
With the unfettered hope that somehow these candidates would unite all of us, even the world, where it’s possible, I got my hopes dashed by the DNC. Instead, they did exactly as you describe. They induce fear in their own people by namecalling people on “the other side” and controlling them to believe they’re evil. (heavy eyeroll), complaining about things that they’re doing themselves. Would we be better just focusing on the good things that are happening in our own lives and ignore these fake people vampiring our precious time?
Better to just read your blog!

Thanks, I only “saw” it on the radio. Which probably makes it easier to hear the hyperbolic hypocrisy.
