Personalities vs Institutional Nepotism: A Follow Up to My Ocasio-Cortez Article

[ghionjournal.com]

“The latent causes of faction are sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity. . . . A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government and many other points . . . An attachment to different leaders, ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other, than to cooperate for their common good.”

(We have devolved into the abyss of identity and ideology to such an extent that we no longer seem capable of having the imagination to try anything different that deviates from the course that we have always been on. We are given ballots that are rigged to ensure the victory for either a Democrat or a Republican and virtually guarantees the exclusion of anyone who can truly shake up the system. Each election comes and goes with the citizenry being sold dreams of a new day only for us to wake up to the continued nightmare of the status quo. )

(Sadly, this insidious duopoly comprised of corporate courtiers will continue to flourish as long as there are enough people who are willing to put logic at bay and let their emotions guide their decisions. Politics has become a sport where people pick sides not based on policies but strictly on the basis of personalities and tribal instincts. The article I wrote about Ocasio-Cortez was not a condemnation about her, it was a critique of a system that is dependent on moneyed interests and driven by two factions who are not responsive to the needs of the people.)

How much longer do we tell ourselves both party's are corrupt, they keep giving us the evidence! How much longer do we keep telling ourselves a 3rd party can't win? When all it needs is for us to break free of the establishment stranglehold and support it. Shake the god dam system already! Our youth are all but begging us to help them. They want to disown the world blood on our hands!

(But that doesn’t take away from the fact that she has joined a party and a system that is wholly malevolent, she will be serving the needs of the party and advancing the cause of the status quo. No politician is greater than the institution that he or she serves, stating this is not defeatism or cynicism, this is the reality of our political system that we have before us.)

She hasn't even made it to office yet and is being drawn back. She is already on board with beat Trump at all cost. Would support Clinton even knowing how the primary cycle went down, or is totally oblivious to that, or complacent to that corruption not only happening, but to it happening again. As she is now reportedly spouting out the false Russian narrative that has been overly proven wrong. The top democratic party persons are publicly voicing opposition to any means of a progressive nature that resembles socialism. I wouldn't even doubt that they end up supporting her republican opposition at this point in secret. A step backwards!

(Focus on policies and while we are at it, stop voting for parties and support people based on ideas.)

There's only one party out there that has policy's that support most of the American people's views and our youth's desire. That is the Green Party.

If the Green Party in USA are anything like the Green Party in Australia and UK they'll sell their mother like the rest now. They used to be a fantastic pressure group and elicited many changes for the better in government by raising issues that the mainstream had to incorporate due to polling pressure. Unfortunately, the Greens now think they are serious contenders for office and have lost the incisive edge that made them so successful at highlighting injustice and the need to change. Now they are wimpish middle class forelock tuggers seeking a seat at the big table at the big house instead of setting fire to driftwood in the front yard! (all images allegorical of course!)

On very few occasions I have heard bad of Europe's green party also. My problem with that was when confronted, they couldn't provide any evidence of their claims. I'm quite certain if there was actually dirt to put out about the party or any members of, the MSM would have trample over each other to put it out in public. If you follow my post here, I post a ton of articles of Caitlin Johnstone's, who is from your country. I don't think I've ever heard her say a thing about the green party there. Although she does from time to time admit your government is a tool to the US Empire, she tends to stick to mainly writing about our politics.

@William_Mary There probably isn't any dirt because it's not necessary to dig up or fabricate for political advantage.. I was at a Green conference in Englsnd in early 90's merchandising for my business and I recall that one of the founding tenets of the Greens was voted out of their manifesto. Can't remember what it was but it was clearly important with regard to the initial ethos due to the surprise and horror of some members. Clearly it had changed status to not being politically viable. Which is fine as all things evolve but be clear where you stand and dispel ambiguity.

@Geoffrey51 well there's always going to be bad apples no matter what group you're in. It's what the group does as a whole. If this one entity brought down the whole group, that is quite interesting. At the time I'm dealing with 2 groups full of bad apples rotting away the world society, and fellow country persons supporting them to rot the basket I'm stuck in with them. I want to change that!
