ELECTION 2020

Saying No to Blue-No-Matter-Who

I will not endorse this nation’s atrocities

When I listen to Blue No Matter Who people, here’s what strikes me: That revulsion they have for Trump? It seems superficial compared to the revulsion they should feel for the whole system; for the profoundly sick society that we live in; for “America” itself.

We are a nation built on genocide and slavery, and we’ve never tried to make up for either. We’re the only country that’s ever dropped nuclear bombs on cities (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) and we did it even though Japan was trying to surrender; we just wanted to send a political message to the USSR. During the Vietnam War, we killed at least 3,000,000 people. We are some brutal MF’ers.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s designation of the US government as “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world” still stands.

Do an image search for “Fallujah birth defects” sometime. Fallujah is an Iraqi city where we used depleted uranium and white phosphorous during the 21st Century’s Iraq War. To this day, babies are born there with multiple limbs or with internal organs outside of their bodies. That’s on us. (Side note: The general who led the attack? Mattis, who Sanders voted to confirm as Trump’s Secretary of Defense. This is who passes for “antiwar”?)
