And the idea of labor as somehow middle class seems a little odd too.<BR/><BR/>Not that the UK is looking all that much better, with our Labour Party looking more and more a lie.<BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean that the difference between the two major American parties doesn't matter. Socialist Utopias are out of fashion, but they are not the primary objective.<BR/><BR/>Again, I'm looking for the outside, and the Dems look to be failing, but the margins are narrow. Were I in the USA, I would be pushing to get candidates I could vote for. And, if that failed, I would vote for the Democrats, even as I held my nose against the stench.<BR/><BR/>Splitting the anti-Republican vote with extra candidates in the election is just wasted effert. Standing on the sidelines being "Independent" looks like cowardice.<BR/><BR/>America has to get rid of the war criminals. So does the UK, but I can't see that happening as long as American poltics seems to acquiesce.<BR/><BR/>And if it needs Hillary Clinton, leading the charge Boudicca-like in a scythed chariot, then bite the bullet and vote for her.zhochakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653786360841345602noreply@blogger.com
