DECISION TIME APPROACHES

Seeking guidance in unclear skies

As in a cloud, a fog, a haze, we grope for direction to that imaginary clearing of blue, where political clarity resides. Is this an illusion?

The failing GOP regime is desperate to pull out a victory from its seeming doom in November. The Democrats are working to gain a majority in Congress to restrain the corruption of the POTUS and his circle. What to do?

Many public figures have defended the U S Constitution and spoken truth to power. They have taken up the cause of the little guy, the worker, the small business owner, and stood with them against the powerful oligarchs and the fascist GOP forces. They have opposed the cruel foreign adventures of the POTUS in the Middle East and his subservience to Netanyahu. They have also taken the risky moral high ground of opposing the draconian policies of the GOP against immigrants.

The rising profile of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is of major concern to the GOP, and even to the Democratic Party. That concern is palpable in the increased use of fearmongering “socialist” and “communist” name-calling by status-quo politicians. But all those “communist” countries that we have grown to fear are led by autocratic, authoritarian, despotic personalities and their wealthy supporters.

Should we not mostly fear intolerance to divergent political opinions? The devil is always in the details.

Who is pursuing the overthrow of the U S Government except the current POTUS as he did via the insurrection of 6Jan2021 and his pardoning of those who threatened our elected representatives, trashed the U S Capitol and its grounds, and attacked Capitol Police?

As we approach the November Midterm Elections, we need to protect ourselves from our fears and evaluate all candidates on the merits of their public service performance, and commitment to democratic principles, not on the rhetoric of fear-mongering oligarchs and other well-heeled special interests.

We must remember that “perfect” is the enemy of “good”, and that the road to perfection often leads to bad choices. Should we not be wide-eyed and cast our vote in the interest of the American People, especially those in the growing ranks of the disadvantaged?

Resist the despot. Vote fearlessly for the candidates who in your judgment will best serve the nation.

Are you and your loved ones registered to vote?
