VOTE BIDEN-HARRIS.
o I’ve been frustrated & angry about local & global social injustice ever since we had some agitating discussions w/ a nun in a 7th-grade Catholic catechism class in Devine, TX in the 1950s. But never like now. … I feel a shame & a dirtiness that we elected Trump & enabled Trump & his Trumpians.
o Biden & Harris (B&H) are decent, moral, & ethical humans of faith. They are statespersons who aim to seek truth & serve.
o B&H trust & respect you w/ straight talk & the truth.
o B&H believe in everyone’s right to good health & a good education toward a sustainable livelihood regardless of their income or socio-political/economic status.
o It is obvious that B&H holistically & profoundly respect life, rights of all life, & adherence to the golden rule … & much more than Trump.
o B&H will work … toward a sustainable agriculture, to stop the terrible & unsustainable bleeding from environmental damage the Trumpians have done, & for campaign finance reform.
o B&H will not come after my 22 or my wife’s deer rifle.
o B&H don’t overtly or covertly deny the existence & seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic or climate change.
o B&H have much respect for those who serve or served in uniform. Trump always directly & indirectly aims to serve self.
o Rather than democratic socialism for common & shared wealth, which is what good government is about, the real worry is authoritarianism. And you are seeing plenty of this undesirable authoritarianism in Trump.
o B&H won’t be boasting about how great the U.S. is, including its capacity to destroy civilization several times over with its nuclear arms. B&H can be approached for a bipartisan process of nuclear disarmament, real demilitarization, & a process of real PEACE.
o Decent leaders in the Republican Party are voting for B&H.
o Joe Biden ISN’T a spoiled, narcissistic boasting reality TV pretty little rich boy, a snake oil promoting con-man, or a conspiracy theorist who is a corrupt inciter of violence & emoter & spreader of panic … & he ISN”T anti-science or a cult leader.
o I’ll vote in solidarity w/ a wonderful fellow with an African-American dad & Mexican-American mom, who saved my life in August of 1964 & w/ other peoples of color & indigenous peoples who will vote for B&H.
………………………………..
I voted for a good man in the Republican Party in 1976, President Gerald Ford. His party has done some significant good in the past, e.g., establishment of EPA by Nixon & a start at some prison reform under Trump. However, profound belief in the “invisible hand,” trickle-down economics, & laissez-faire growth for haphazard guiding of society toward justice & protection of top soil, adequate quantity of quality water, good air, appropriate energy transformation, & biodiversity, will not get us to quality life for all. We need regulation & local & global focused work towards resilient, sustainable socio-political/economic (ecological) systems.
YOU MUST VOTE BIDEN-HARRIS and the Democratic ticket.
Love all of you, and definitely including Trump, Trumpians, and Trumpsters,
