I read up and realized that this year, my state is swingy again, at least in terms of the whole &#8216;Control of the Senate&#8217; thing, and I don&#8217;t care. Somebody please explain to me what Mark Kelly has done to change things in my life, or the life of any prole. I&#8217;ll listen, with an openly skeptical mind, but unless and until I hear of a single decent reason why I should piss away my vote on the centrist likes of him again, I just will. Not. Do it. <\/p>\n<p>It seems likely, however, that in the &#8217;24 Presidential, I won&#8217;t have to throw my vote away at all. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jimmy Dore is said to be running for that office, under the banner of the thing they&#8217;re calling a People&#8217;s Party. <\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if he&#8217;ll make it officially official. I don&#8217;t know if he will stay the course all the way to the end. I worry that if he really starts to make waves, they will find a bullet with his name on it somewhere, and I&#8217;m not talking about a soft Bernie bullet either. I don&#8217;t believe with any conviction that he&#8217;d make a good president, or that he has any substantive chance in hell to get within a hundred miles of the office in the first place. <\/p>\n<p>None of that matters. He tells the truth about the rotten Empire and make-believe democracy and the crimes routinely committed in the course of Spreading It like a plague over the weeping earth for my entire lifetime and long before by Dems, Repubs, and even the old system-captured supposed Independent who broke our hearts twice over, promising a revolution that never came and died in darkness. <\/p>\n<p>I want the volume turned up on that truth, and #Dore24 will crank it to eleven even if it does nothing else at all. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rokfin.com\/stream\/19495\/Statement-From-Jimmy-Dore-On-2024-Run-Bernie-Stands-With-Biden-2024-Tulsi-Calls-Out-Big-Tech\">First I Heard Of It<\/a>, at least beyond hopeful whispers, from Hard Lens Media.<\/p>\n<p>What you&#8217;re going to hear from your Trusted Sources to begin with is that <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/v18v3vv-jimmy-dore-delivers-fiery-rant-on-tucker-carlson.html\">JD is secretly a right-winger<\/a>. They say it already, all the time, about not just about him but anyone who leaks a little truth now and then, like Glenn Greenwald. It&#8217;s just not true.<\/p>\n<p>When that doesn&#8217;t work out, and provided Dore is capable of pulling a few votes somewhere someday, they&#8217;ll fall back to calling him, and anyone who supports him, an evil Spoiler. I&#8217;ve heard it all before, up close and personal, as when some girlfriend of mine twenty years ago accused me of being personally responsible for the Bush crimes because I voted for Nader in 2000. (In a solid red state not named Florida, for god&#8217;s sake.)<\/p>\n<p>Even if it turned out to be indictably true &#8230; I can totally live with being a spoiler. And you will be completely permitted to berate me with the fact, and never even think of blaming Debbie Wasserman-Schultz or Donna Brazile or Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or Joe Biden for anything ever, because unlike Mark Zuckerberg or the President who brought you America&#8217;s first ever literal Ministry of Truth, I actually believe in the First Amendment. So does Jimmy Dore. <\/p>\n<p>I could go on, but I&#8217;m sick of my own voice for now, and besides, once I post this one I&#8217;ll finally be all the way caught up from my tragic and most recent lapse against my one true self-inflicted responsibility in this world. To date anyway. We&#8217;ll see how that goes, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay, I drifted dangerously close to politics yesterday, and today I&#8217;m going to have to double down.
