who are we really voting for...or what?

Comments to a friend: 

 

Let's not mix Apples and Oranges, .  Fanning fear over, "what ifs, is the tool of the Establishment, the Ruling Class, to keep us in the fold, keep us divided and fighting one another.  Are you really suggesting that I abandon my principles because standing on them might create a House of Horror?  So I should support the kinder defender of the American Empire because the other choice would...be the better choice of the American Empire? 

Just where is my Leader in all of this? 

Remember, regardless of the rise and fall of the Great American Middle Class, the rich have done very well and the Empire has thrived.  While it might be an annoyance, and it might slow down their ultimate goal of total domination, they can allow, and even encourage  the back and forth struggles that go on among the Masses.  For one thing, it distracts us from building real resistance against them.  While we fuss over abortion rights, or Gay marriage, or the right of Americans to organize, or the right to public education, or the right of Seniors to a dignified retirement, or the right of the Working Class to a living wage, while all of that is going on the Empire continues raking in the dollars and sending our young people out to die for their causes, not for ours. 

And you tell me that this is why I should support Obama again? 

You see, we're back to my argument over leveling the playing field.  We have this myth that if we all get together we can level that field.  But the fact remains that it is not now, nor was it ever our playing field.  It began by excluding most Americans and went on to become the playing field of the American Empire.  While we run around the outer edges thinking we are doing something, the game goes on without a single concern over what we do.  We cannot win on their playing field.  We cannot win on their playing field.  Period.  We must get that through our thick skulls.  As long as we are misled into believing that we can change the nature of the American Empire, they win.  We lose.  Look around and count our losses. 

By not voting for President Obama, I believe that I am making a stand for the People of my country.  My ultimate goal is to work toward a new People's Government.  And casting a vote for one of the offerings in the Empire's stable is not the direction I want to go.
