At least you're awake Thom; won't hear this message on the corporate-owned MSM. While I agree with what you've said about the GOP, isn't the same true for the Democrats, just the issues vary? Democrats focus on different issues, but they're after the same dollars as the GOP. This has been clearly seen lately as the Biden administration approved the sale?lease? of Gulf waters for drilling purposes, and then there's Alaska, where environmentalists and indigenous alike are furious over Biden catering to the fossil fuel interests. And the Ukraine war is the perfect scenario for Biden, since he isn't responsible for putting American boots on the ground, yet can spend record amounts of taxpayer dollars supplying weaponry. What's needed is new politics, but your two-party system allows the same old s**t to happen, over and over, no matter who ends up in power. Anyone with a new vision of leadership is put up with, like some kind of novelty, but is never accepted by the majority, because the majority is brainwashed by corporate dollars. That's what it comes down to -- the majority of Americans have been brainwashed. As Ginger said, the best defense is an offense, and the majority are in defensive mode.

After writing this, I heard some of Prof. Noam Chomsky's interview (Meidas Touch) -- I'd mentioned your two-party system, but now I think Chomsky is correct; you have a one-party system, the "business" party, and it has two factions.
