Sanders tells New York Times he would consider a preemptive strike against Iran or North Korea

No matter how much Sanders blusters about inequality, it is impossible to oppose the depredations of the ruling class at home while supporting its plunder and oppression abroad.

This system will only be broken up when it collapses. Sadly. Then everyone loses most likely. It makes me mad. Especially to hear the one SEEMINGLY decent choice of every candidate in this election (besides maybe Gabbard or Yang) talk about a pre-emptive military strike. This is no different from any other war mongering president. No different than Bush I or Bush II or Obama etc. Is the rest of what he says lip service too? How can you be against and preach against the establishment and then talk like and have the same foreign policy agenda as the establishment? It will never change.

OK that is just great. Now who is left to vote for? Clearly none of the Republican nor Democrat senators nor presidential candidates. USA you must wake up bloody quickly or you will drown in your own quagmire.

Green-SEP We Have More Than One Party!

@William_Mary All you have to do then is inform the electorate and explain to them why they should vote for something that they want. As a Green for 15 years I found people unwilling to think about that.

@rogerbenham unfortunately I have a louder voice with a vast amount of money and potentially more avenues to fool that electorate as an opposition. And breaking them from their conditioned perception management that they are trapped in from those resources seems to be quite impossible as it is a very slow process. Another problem is that even many of the younger generation who are wise to my/our dissenting views, are also being corralled in a fake socialist movement behind the DSA (Democratic Socialist of America). Entrapping them inside a misguided narrative of thinking they can change the democratic party.

Between the elder generations stuck in cognitive dissonance and the younger generations with a genuine desire for change stuck in that illusion, I don't know which is worse.

@William_Mary So given our shortage of time we must prepare for the worst. I certainly don't believe that we will do remotely enough to stop global warming and our great grandchildren will be facing a dying population.

@rogerbenham I fear you are right. But hopefully we can wake up those who remain after the ultimate damage is done to unite behind a world coalition of new governance.
