When I first heard Bernie Sanders’ remarks on the impending presidential election and the frustration that some voters are expressing about skipping it due to the situation in Israel, my immediate thought was a combination of anger and disbelief. The message is stark and clear: opting not to vote, especially because of a single issue, is tantamount to paving the way for someone like Donald Trump to return to power. Let’s be real here; the reality of what a Trump presidency would mean is terrifying.
Trump is not just another candidate; he represents an absence of basic human decency and an embrace of authoritarianism that is dangerous on multiple fronts.… Continue reading
It’s no secret that we live in an oligarchic society. The insatiable greed of American oligarchs is on full display, with billionaires wielding disproportionate power and influence over our democracy. It’s concerning how easily a billionaire like Elon Musk can purchase a significant stake in the virtual public square and shape it to align with his own ideological values. The flaunting of wealth and power by these individuals is downright unseemly, highlighting the deep-rooted inequalities that exist in our society.

As I read about Bernie shredding billionaires backing Trump for their preference for an oligarchy over democracy, it struck a chord within me. The idea that these ultra-rich individuals would rather give up the principles of democracy just to safeguard their wealth and power is not only troubling but also a grim reminder of the dangerous path we are heading towards.
The fact that billionaires are so fixated on maintaining their riches that they are willing to sacrifice the very foundation of democracy speaks volumes about the toxic grip of greed and self-interest that has clouded their moral compass. They have become so entrenched in their wealth and power that they have lost touch with the realities faced by the average American.… Continue reading
