Wherever large groups of people are desperate, there are seeds of conflict. As long as we are unwilling to do everything possible to ameliorate the despair, we are supporting systems of incarceration and war that are ultimately a continuation of the violence. 3/5

We need a President who sees and understands this and is not afraid to say it. The Doomsday Clock is ticking closer to midnight, while we go along blindly with a system that spells more and more risk to the survivability of the species. 4/5

It's the money. War is money for Mitch&Nancy's bank accounts. If our government isn't practicing capitalism, the United States isn't practicing capitalism. youtube.com/uZtlc6j2IeE?si=aXc_…

If America is at war Mitch&Nancy make us pay. If Europe is at war Mitch&Nancy make us pay. if Asia is at war Mitch&Nancy make us pay We pay for every war now. War money ends up in their Mitch&Nancy bank accounts. No one thinks this is stupid?
