COTW: A Dime's Difference

When public citizen Ralph Nader ran for President in 2008 he was quoted as saying "there is not "a dime's worth of difference" between the two major parties.  At the time this was a controversial position, but since then, one depression and several wars later, the American people have apparently come to agree with him:


But with a fake populist occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who has been implicated in significant crimes against democracy, the remaining political difference¹ between the two parties has this significance: only one party may be willing to impeach Mr. Yuge.  So the choice is clear: if you are a heretic who believes no person is above the law and the republic saved from a slow decent  into fascist totalitarianism, then the House of Representatives has to be brought under Democratic Party control.  It is there that Articles must be brought to a vote under the Constitution.

1. That is increasingly scarce. Just one example: the Pentagon's budget was recently passed in Congress with little dissent.  It is the largest military expenditure since the WWII, some $674 billion  A significant portion of the money will go to weapons developers.The Pentagon spent $8.2 billion on fossil fuels last year; it is the largest institutional consumer of planet-killing fuels in the world.  Medicare for all; too expensive!
