The first time I was able to vote as an American citizen I was able to support and Vote for Ralph Nader.....if only.....were it to have been his success, what a different America it would now be...and so it goes.
How can third party candidates take part in the presidential debates? When will Democrats take 140 million poor/ low wage people seriously? That would bring them out to vote.
One question that went unanswered was the one concerning Democracy Now. I'd like to have heard a response since it appeared to me that DN sort of sold out to the state narrative when it came to covering the Maidan Coup in 2014 and well beyond which was the beginning of what led to Russia's SMO in 2022. I quit supporting them back then and no one there would explain why they sounded like the War Party had bought them. I'm still waiting on a response.
Greetings from Australia. Why would Harris concede the election when deliberately not doing so on the grounds that Trump is a felon unfit to serve would also highlight his hypocrisy, were he to demand it of her? But thanks to her for the good example, trying to teach him civics.
Do you know of any clear evidence that Harris's chances suffered partly because some Dem voters couldn't abide the levels of censorship and surveillance being pushed or acquiesced in by the establishment Dem party? What's your take on whether and to what extent those issues might have played a role?
So, if you see Trump as a fascist do you agree that referencing him as a fascist in regard to his comments about Liz Cheney is valid, , which in my mind was as an anti-war statement? No doubt the word fascist will be used to define him by the democrats and those in the media who support them. They are already beginning to align him with a Hitler or Mussolini, so do you agree?
I am a Muslim in California, I voted for Cornel West but welcome DT. I hope he will pull the plug on the aid/business with the fascist Military/ General Asim Munir in Pakistan. The Military has leashed unprecedented abuse on journalists, citizens who support Imran Khan of PTI. Pakistan does not need any $$, (most of it goes to corrupt officials and Generals anyway), it only needs a dignified bilaterally respectful foreign policy. I hope that the US stops hiring Pak. Army as mercenaries.
“Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one.… others imagine that one can somehow “overcome” the German army by lying on one’s back, let them go on imagining it, but let them also wonder occasionally whether this is not an illusion due to security, too much money and a simple ignorance of the way in which things actually happen.… Despotic governments can stand “moral force” till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.”

In the race to the bottom, is it possibly better to drop like a stone than to have a long drawn out decline? Assuming, somewhere down there, is a foundation for reformation.
What are the theological principles in Christianity that you might cite in order to push back on or refute the Christian nationalist talking points/worldview in dealing with somebody who is “on the edge” of that set of beliefs?
Chris: I'm trying to find any potential glimmers of upside after the election. Given that our culture is in crisis, and headed towards a deeper state of such, , do you think a Trump administration might hasten that, and bring it on sooner which might lessen the consequences given that the longer it takes the worse it will be?

Chris - Advice from a friend: get some rest. You look and sound exhausted and unwell (so I'll go easy on you in terms of posing loaded questions!)
We could all use some rest. Hard times a'comin'
Whom will Team D blame rather than blame themselves?

Who will replace Chomsky? Glenn Ford, Finkelstein, yourself, Scheer, Hersch, Nader, West, Cockburn and the list goes on and on?
Anti-intellectualism will assure a post literate world.
The post-Trump era will be one of frenetic fever and fear.
The issue is capitalism.
The malignant vomit is Trump.
So you are saying, Chris that sone cannot have morals unless they have religion?
