Haven't voted for either wing of the political duopoly for 30 years (starting with Perot in '92), except duped in '08 by Obama. So I feel qualified and compelled to note how many of my neoliberal acquaintances often bemoaned Trump as an embarrassment to the US. But Biden's not, in the opinion of this delusional crowd. Beyond this obvious denial is the key point that you make here, namely that the president is a figurehead, a puppet of his or her capitalist masters. And that federal elections are largely meaningless indulgences into celebrity-style popularity contests, battles of bloated bullshit backed by the big moneyed interests who actually run this insanely deceptive illusion of a first-world society with a dysfunctional sociopolitical system that is really not very much better than those of third-world countries run by authoritarian dictatorships. Actually, it's probably worse because that endless river of sweet-sounding BS creates the illusion of logical governance, which so many willingly buy into to assuage their personal angst.
Jill Stein, and 2016, will be the last election I ever vote in, it's pointless to cast votes for those with 0.0% chance of ever winning. I'm old, disabled, and don't have a car nor the ability to stand in line for hours for a pointless effort. I've many books to read before I croak.
Stuffed crust pizza is American exceptionalism in edible form. It's the illegal Israeli occupation cheese oppressing the Palestinian crust. It's the same mindless consumerism overkill that's responsible for the notion that ice cream isn't ice cream unless it's got a candy bar and cookies ground up inside it. It's the idea that every person in an SUV needs their own TV screen. It's a toddler with a cell phone. It's the very American idea that too much still isn't enough. Plus, I just like crust.
“We won't stop working to ensure that LGBTQ+ people from all walks of life – especially transgender candidates, non-binary candidates, LGBTQ+ women – are being considered in every position throughout government,” he said.
So, I continue. In 2017 Chimamanda Adichie got trashed. Then it was JK. And the censorship is ENORMOUS, so they do not think it is MINOR. Here is how people are the tools for the establishment oligarchy, it is not minor and is another expression of the toxic identity politics that is making it so much easier for the oligarchs as the move us into that Brave New World. They could give a rats ass about children.
Not exactly sure what you mean by "minor", unless you mean cosmetic hype, but the media, pharma, and privatized medical care, are financially benefitting from the trans mission to convert children. Catch up on this please. Some nations are finally voting it down and out and coming to their senses. See this new video. This has been a suppressed and censored issue you need to get on top of. Abigail Scherer did a great job in Irreversible Damage. Girls are lining up for self-mutilation in record numbers and this is a win-win for the pharma-medico complex which is the machine behind this runaway fad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUeqEoARKOA&list=WL&index=2&t=2350s
I forgot to mention, glad to see inclusion of Israel's assault on Gaza. The Palestinians send balloons with a bit of fuel. They send jet fighters and level buildings with bombs. Killing many women and children along the way. Peace
I read an article this AM saying how that the two largest owning groups, or investment firms, Blackrock and Vanguard, also own the major media, and, that also owns the big pharma. Vanguard is super secret, IOW, it's takes lots of time to dig out the major investors. Blackrock is the one most folks know of. Vanguard includes the Rothschild's, the Bush's, Rockefeller's, banks, etc. Literally $trillions of capital. They control the COVID narratives; the *vaccine* narratives, the purging of cheap, readily available medicine that helps greatly to allay the severity and actual hospitalizations. When I looked into it on Google it was all suppressed. Now tell me about narratives and how fucked we really are. There is no way to fight this and today I feel a bit powerless. Nice points all. Peace, The Ol' Hippy

I was a Perot guy.
I duped myself into voting for Kerry in 2004, because W was SO, SO bad. But I was onto Obama, so I voted for Cynthia McKinney, then Jill Stein.

Raises hand. In 1980 I voted for Barry Commoner, because Studs Terkel said so!
Things that should be obvious:
Americans live in an oligarchy.
Both parties represent the donor class to maintain the status quo.
Corporate media serves the same function.
Our military is a wasteful bloated mess that serves as the armed wing of the petroleum industry and does not "protect our democracy."
Israel is a racist Jim Crow democracy inflicting an illegal occupation and has no "right to exist" in its current form.
Billion dollar deals to "defend Israel" are a scam to enrich arms manufacturers and cow opposition.
Saudi Arabia is not talked about and can murder whomever they like, all because of oil.
America is the greatest meddler in foreign elections and politics.
American intelligence agencies are completely out of control.
Stuffed crust pizza is a terrible idea.
I sorta like stuffed crust pizza. Everything else, spot-on.

Plus, the dairy fat will clog your coronary arteries. Oh, wait! That was last year! This year, cheese is a fundamental part of the keto diet.

I read today the the Catholic Church is pushing back. Ol' Joe Buddy is a Catholic. He also isn't trying to rid Roe v Wade.
