War, What is it Good For?

Apr 11, 2023

FYI: I admire and love Ralph with my whole heart, even though he is a little more invested in the “system” than I am.

He has confronted the war machine with two national campaigns for POTUS (no, he didn’t cause George W. Bush to win in 2000), AND, he has done so much good for auto safety, it’s historic. At 89-years old, he is still at it, trying to make the world a better place!

I think that as long as you stay in the safe zone of only criticizing Republicans if you're a Democrat, or only criticizing Democrats if you're a Republican, then they give you a platform, they let you use your voice on this national stage. But once I recognized that the Democratic Party were, at that point, enablers of the Bush/Cheney war of terror around the world, and I left the party, then I started to be even more marginalized. And I lost so much support.

What gave me a little bit of hope was the county DA of New York indicting and arresting Donald Trump— for things I think were far less damaging and far less criminal than what the other living presidents like George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama did. I think that if the DA can prosecute Donald Trump for something less than mass murder or genocide, then maybe my DA in my county I live in can prosecute George Bush for murdering my son.
