The on-going US election season has exposed a dirty truth about the US political system that most didn’t see before; although one still had to pay good attention to what was going on to catch it.
The truth is that there is not one lick of difference between the Democratic and Republican parties.
Consider the evidence.
Late in 2015 and early in 2016, when the Republican field of candidates was still well-stocked, the media, political pundits, and Republican Party ex-officials were falling over themselves to condemn Donald Trump.
The status-quo was up in arms against him, and even long-time neo-cons were lining up to denounce him as ‘dangerous’ and ‘wrong’ because Trump didn’t see eye-to-eye with them on foreign policy and US hegemony.
At the same time, these Republican neo-con operatives were also lining up to support Hillary Clinton, because they felt that she will continue the current broken and failed US policies of war and intervention.
This paradoxical behavior of veteran Republicans and arch neo-cons toward Trump and Clinton proves that when it comes to US hegemony, military power, regime changes and interventions, both parties are in total agreement.
This exposes the divide between the democrats and republicans as a cruel farce. They both aspire to the same things.
It exposes the Democratic Party as not the party of peace and progress, but warmongering and aggression, just like their republican counterparts.
These people in congress owe their wealth and influence to this system, so they will always go with the flow.
Don’t believe this? Look at what Bernie Sanders did recently. He capitulated to, and endorsed Hillary Clinton for President, after all that we know about that evil witch’s criminal behavior. There people don’t have any principles; it’s all just a game for them.
Fast-forward from January of 2016 to the Republican National Convention In July 2016, and what do we see and hear?
Creatures such as Rudy Giuliani and others, who were absolutely against Trump 5-6 months ago, are now taking to the convention floor and are endorsing Trump left and right with flowery speeches.
So, what happened? How did Trump go from ‘dangerous’ to the best choice in so little months?
Was there a private meeting where Trump was finally ‘scared straight?’ Or are these opportunists just playing nice in the hopes of getting favors from Trump, if he wins.
The US political system is a one-party circus. It all comes down to who will get to feed at the public trough for the next four years.
Electing any of these people is only going to make things worse. Voting for either Hillary or Trump is useless. These people won’t fix anything.
Better to stay home on election day with a 12-pack and relax.
