I really, really want to turn back the clock to 2008 when I was overjoyed for Barack Obama’s election.

But I can’t.

He expanded our warring presence globally, legalized torture, made health care more expensive, ignored abortion (which he could have legalized), brutalized Occupy, made sure the banks suffered no consequences for destroying millions of lives, and militarized the police.

Remember when Michael Brown was gunned down in Ferguson? It’s been ten years, and as with everything in this country, it’s only harder for the poor, middle class, and disenfranchised.

That is what you’re supporting in Kamala Harris. Conservativism dressed up in a politically-correct, acceptable package.

What’s actually your point? Vote for Trump and make things worse?

My point is that it doesn’t matter how you dress up this shit sandwich, at least if you’re a member of the poor or working class. Neither of the two candidates are going to anything meaningful to change your experience in this country apart from simply making it harder to exist.

We know this because we’ve seen it consistently across four decades, but I mention Obama because for me that’s when it hurt the most. I saw my father lose his business and instead of going to prison, Jamie Dimon and his ilk lost nothing and are seen as Wall Street visionaries.

If you want change, vote Green.
