If the entire rest of my article and all its points were lost—I refer you to go back to the George Carlin video.

As always, Carlin hit the deepest tragic truths while wearing the mask of comedy. His monologue is no —this political system is!

Both the red and blue teams supported the invasion of Iraq and both are now supporting the USofA in sending billions of dollars to our weapons manufacturers so they can send their products to Ukraine to escalate that proxy war—in the pretense that we're interested in "democracy”—risking nuclear war—meanwhile 24/7 propagandizing people into becoming supporters of interventionism.

I am personally a bit past the vote-out-of-fear paradigm (that both sports teams push on their constituents — mostly fueled by a few cultural issues (abortions, trans, guns, religion) so that nobody looks at the man behind the curtain: corporate capitalism and The War Racket.

If the mass media is all pushing this Voting Game Show on their evening news, you know its just another entertainment to help sell advertising, their life-blood. Vote blue, vote red.

Where are the real issues, where are the real candidates. Shall I pick the arrogant or the impotent?

Meanwhile this empire is going to crap— except for the wealthy and for the Comfortables.

The former enjoy watching the voting charade knowing that lobbyists and MuskBezos votes are the ones that really count—and the latter enjoy playing it to feel involved and better about their privileges.

I do not feel I “have to vote”—and as I said: I would prefer not to.

You're right from your side / and I am right from mine / you're just inside the polling place / and I am staying outside.

Peace.
