Political circus

All politicians are the same. They serve the interests of the elite to make sure they are being looked after, while everyone else’s reality has become a living nightmare as people remain torn in the midst of multiple crises.

Biden or Trump, what difference will either leader make in establishing world peace, eradicating hunger, saving the environment and helping to bring justice? The two are just different sides of the same coin. Both will undoubtedly take side with the Israelis in their conflict against the Palestinians. Both will help rich corporation, who helped them fund their campaigns, get even richer. The only difference between the two is that no matter how twisted, Trump is honest. He is true to his beliefs and doesn’t hide his bigotry, racism and hatred.

I am not glued to the television screen as to who will win. No, I stay awake all night trying to figure out who will be the next Commander in Chief. Not until we are given a “real” alternative, not until an honest leader rises up, and most certainly not until a decent human being offers us real hope should we start expecting change. But for now, we just have to learn to bare to watch these fake political puppets on the screen.
