Every moment is the embodiment of the past and the future, the thesis and the antithesis of the essence of the moment. Thousands of years before Marx Plato and Socrates figured this out. Today is the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Three days later Nagasaki was bombed. Truman announced to the world that we bombed Hiroshima and called that city of tens of thousands a military base.
We are 15 months away from another national election and we have an opportunity to choose a people driven campaign or we can choose to allow again the elite -super rich- choose for us. The fact of the matter is that in our elections there exist a possibility of one of two winners, third parties can only become spoilers or at best serve as a protest to the elite driven process.
The consequences of allowing another centrist democrat or a right republican to take the presidency will be devastating and unrecoverable. It will take a plurality of 170 million voters, a large turnout will be required, to turn the USA and the rest of the world back on track of climate security. Next month the Pope will address our government with his message of climate and economic reformation. We have only one candidate who is openly stating that it is up to us, and is relying on us, to take back this democracy. Now is the time there is no tomorrow.
