The mother of pant
suited dragons has been crowned. The
voice of Shawshank voiced over Hillary’s history skipping over Whitewater, her
emails, Goldman Sachs luncheons, or the DNC assisting her nomination. There was no down in the valley section of her
husband openly engaging fellatio with an intern in front of the American people,
but a marriage rooted in law school kismet. Bubba’s Pinocchio red schnoz twinkled his aw
shucks we-still-have-sex grandparent-cuddle house of love. Chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo
from her daughter. The hug kind of got
to me; that was a human moment: you get to hug your daughter after she
introduces you to become the first major party female candidate for U.S. President
running against a Hitler slot-machine robot paying out nonsense. Until Trump suggests the first semblance of
actual policy. This is not a
campaign.
What scares me is
the distraction; all the wasted time bashing the joke of Trump. The real issues in this campaign are inside
the Sanders campaign focusing on the aggregation of wealth and how the
capitalist system is threatening the extinction of our species and viable
democratic self-determinism. This is not
a joke; the math threatens water scarcity and budgetary health given corporate
dominion over public legislatures that affects every person on this
planet. (Iraq was 130 degrees last week.)
Hillary after hedging her bets in swing state Virginia with Kane, wining
Florida two to one over Sanders, and Ohio is well positioned. If Trump doesn’t win Florida he cannot
win.
The point is the real
issue in this campaign is centered in two parts of Clinton’s speech first
making the top earning corporations and individuals restructure the way the
game operates to fund at least in part the progressive policies detailed in the
first part of the speech. Until I hear words
like the United States is entering into a global coalition of countries to
create a global tax on capital for corporations and individuals that have
attempted to supersede residency to address climate change then I know we as a
democracy have yet to see the true core of the issue. We can talk about a million other things, but
that is the major issue: how do we restructure capitalism itself to better
ensure planetary inability for the survival of our species. Until then we are
operating like myopic insects in the anthill awaiting gasoline rain and a
match.
Do I believe Clinton
will continue to drone bomb the hell out of people in the Middle East, sure
do. Do I think compromise on raising the
minimum wage on a regional basis to 15 in some states and 10 in others is
possible, yes. Do I think we can close
the private gun sale without background checks loophole, yes. Do I think Clinton will push for a
constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, I actually do because it
favors Democrats so heavily. Do I think
ISIS or Mexicans are a bigger threat to our country then systematic racism
against black people, no. Do I think the
major issue of Hillary’s presidency will be to see a single payer option
implemented and she will fight like hell to get it and the Republicans will
attempt the same obstructionism because they have no sound alternatives,
yes.
Do I think changing capitalism
itself affects almost every aspect of life on this planet to a shift towards
implementing renewable energy through sound science, infrastructure improvement,
and focusing on what it takes to sustain our species rather than employ our
species will determine the survival of two generations from now based on if we
can cultivate a threshold of human empathy in the present, yes I do.
We need to recognize
why a man like Donald Trump could get nominated. He got nominated because those that have held
control over the masses for so long have lost their grip because television is
dying and the internet has connected people in a way nothing ever has. We will either adapt to acknowledge how we
are running out of time for the nonsense of ignoring science and mathematics,
and making fun of the nerds who read books and study facts who understand the
bigger picture and as my friend Jared put it “made it through the maze and
never took the cheese when they gave it.
White trash ain’t supposed to study wages. They want us poor, drunk, dumb, and making
babies hooked on sports, god, porn, and braindead.” Until we can usurp the candy of gut feelings
with sound research over a sound bite we are wasting our time over petty
squabbles.
Nation, gender,
religion, political affiliation, ethnicity, sexuality, and class are
illusions. Tap your hand with your
fingers in the middle of your opposite palm now find anyone else’s palm and do
the same and do the same. Look those
other humans in the eye for two minutes straight. Hold the gaze, then imagine that list of
illusions. Tell yourself what is real. Ask yourself what is worth fighting over.
Think of your unborn great grandchild that
may never be born because your country wasted trillions of dollars to wall out
brown people, build computer jets that don’t work to try to bomb other brown
people, and construct plantations of corporate prisons to arrest other brown and
black people on criminalized drug charges to fund a systematically corrupt
corrections facility as a modern Jim Crow in a country founded in the genocide
of native brown people and built with the slave labor and blood of black people. Try to make sense of that world that spends
so much money cultivating the product of fear.
Who is trying to make who fearful and why; what is the going on in the
background? Like Hillary said tonight
because that’s where the money is.
