US election No. 60 likely worst choice ever
Quite
possibly, President Biden and Donald Trump will top the ballot on
Election Day 8 months from now. If so, it will represent the worst
choice ever in this the 60th US presidential election.
How
can that be? For starters, the likely Republican candidate, former
President Trump, launched a coup on Election Certification Day in 2021
to stay in office. That was a war on democracy which, if successful,
would have ended the American Experiment in democracy. Tho it failed, a
half dozen died during the coup or its immediate aftermath. Over a
hundred law enforcement were injured preserving the peaceful transfer of
power, the most sacred pillar of democracy.
The
American justice system has failed to hold Trump accountable, allowing
him to run again 4 years later. If victorious, Trump will complete the
democratic collapse he inspired 4 years earlier. Nearly every Republican
leader has endorsed a traitor to American democracy to retain political
viability in what is now the ATP (American Traitor Party).
That
brings us to the incumbent, Joe Biden. While there is neither nuance
nor shade of gray about Trump, Biden runs to spectrum from laudable good
to pure evil. Biden was the anchor that allowed voters to reject
Trump’s descent into democratic destruction in 2020. In 3 years he’s
accomplished much to reassert American democracy while implementing
significant domestic accomplishments improving life for the middle and
lower classes.
But
on foreign policy Joe Biden morphed into deranged Mr. Hyde from
domestic policy’s kindly Dr. Jekyll. Right out of starting gate he
ramped up proxy war against any Russian rapprochement with Europe. How?
By funneling hundreds of millions in weapons to the ultra-nationalist
Kyiv regime to finish off the Russian leaning Ukrainians in Donbas. He
deceived Russia that Minsk II would be implemented to give Donbas
independence. He rebuffed every Russian attempt to address their
security concerns from NATO expansion. He made the Russian invasion to
preserve its security inevitable. He compounded this mendacity by
sabotaging the Ukraine Russian peace agreement that could have ended the
war in the first month. Result? Two years of relentless destruction of
Ukraine as a functioning country with ever 400,000 dead and 14 million
on the move, of which 6 million have left Ukraine. Two years in Biden
demands $61 billion more in weapons to continue to slaughter he
precipitated.
As
horrendous as his Ukraine policy, Biden’s Mr. Hyde reached his depraved
nadir with his greenlighting Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians in Gaza. The destruction of Gaza as a habitable land for
the proud Palestinian people is nearly compete. Biden calls Israel’s
genocide ‘self-defense.’ He cast 3 vetoes in the UN Security Council to
defeat a UN call for cease fire. He’s lobbying Congress for another $14
billion in weapons to supplement the 25,000 tons already sent. Without
Biden’s weapons and unwavering UN support, the ongoing genocide could
not have occurred.
The
electorate is not unaware of the dreadful choice awaiting them November
5 if Trump and Biden are the only electable choices. Voters are fleeing
both deeply flawed candidates by the millions. Their votes will be
divvied up between third party, writing in a person of peace and
democracy, or simply skipping the most important office on the ballot.
Destroy
democracy at home or destroy peoples abroad. That is a Hobson’s choice
millions of voters will say ‘NO THANKS’ to November 5th.
