Does this matter? Probably not. The leading Democrat is Joe Biden whose major advantage is that he doesn't spout extreme views as Trump does - but is really not much different in general policies. The U.S. has a long way to go to reach the 21st century. Or even the twentieth.
And the Democrats, for the most part, are no different from the Republicans in kissing up to the rich. American democracy was lost a long, long time ago. And Biden is not going to change that.

Let's cut the crap on these stories. The U.S. has only one goal in the Iran affair. It wants to force Iran to hand over all its oil to the American billionaires that Trump makes money out of. In short, it's exactly the same as the American attacks on Venezuela.
Forget the fancy arguments. Like the British Empire before it - and the Portuguese one before that, the American empire exists to steal resources of other countries for American oil companies And to murder those who object. It's really as simple as that.
To do that the U.S. sacrifices the lives of its soldiers - the ones Trump gets so weepy about. And this does not in any way benefit the American people because the oil gluttons don't pay a cent in taxes to pay for those wars. No, the American tax payer gets ripped off - and they also lose in the shape of health care and salaries and public education, ripping off the American people while most of their news media cheer.
Meanwhile, for all the cheers, American living standards are NOT rising. They are dropping because the billionaires need all the money they can steal. And it will only get worse.

Yes. Climate change is real. And the people who ignore that are the oh-so respectable of our society. And one of the ones who will die could well be you.

Yes. I know I have criticized China for its treatment of Hong Kong. I still do. Yes China is expanding in power. But that does not excuse its brutal treatment of Hong Kong.

The reality is that we are owned by billionaires. That has recently been obvious in the Conservative leadership of Ontario's Doug Ford. When he took power in Ontario, he cancelled a huge list of projects to assist the average wage owner. Then he gave much of the money to the very wealthy. And then he destroyed most of the beginning the province had made to deal with climate change. ( Mr. Ford denounced the findings of almost all the world's environmental scientists. And he relies on his own education which ended about the age of seventeen.)
The wealthy have always owned Canada and the U.S. (and Britain and many others. They now are launching their final assault in the shape of the Bilderberg Group, an organization of the world's wealthiest whose objective is to force us all to accept government by the wealthy. And, yes. They are quite serious.)
The most frightening thing is that so many people accept this idea. They really do. But why be surprised? This is precisely what Germans accepted when they put Hitler in power. Funny. In 1945, we chased down Nazi officials. But nobody said peep about the business leaders who happily served them - and used them.

Judaism was (and still is in many parts of the the world) a wonderfully active and open-minded religion. But Hitler's Christians (yes they were Christians) destroyed much of that - and gave us a state of Israel that resembles Nazi Germany.

I took a break to sit outdoors. It didn't last. Yesterday and today have been unspeakably hot in Ontario. Indeed, a general review of the world shows that recent weeks have been the hottest in recorded history. And as that continues, people die. As it continues, agricultural land is destroyed. And as that continues, life on this planet ceases to exist.
Oil executives must know that but, like our dimwitted premier, they prefer not to know. That's why their news media friends don't take this seriously.
It is happening. Our climate has been changing. It has now reached the worst levels the world has ever seen. We might last until 2100 or we might not. Some experts who have actually studied the subject say we won't last that long - not by a long shot.
Our premier recognizes none of this. He has no advanced education. The biggies give him his orders. And he is stupid enough (or corrupt enough) to follow them.
The oil executives? All they care about is their profits. Nothing else exists. As people die - and we're close to seeing that -all they care about is their profits. There is not the slightest possibility they will do anything useful.
And oh, it's going to get quite terrible.
For a start, this climate change is destroying agricultural regions. Even now, millions are dying for lack of food. And the oil execs don't give a damn. Up to a hundred million are those looking for a place to stay alive. But it's not going to get better.
And we will just kill them - as we are already doing. In the not very distant future, they may well reach over a billion. And will we help them?
Like hell we will. Most countries won't touch them. They'll do as the Italians have and the Americans and push them back out to sea to drown. Canada is one of the better nations in treating them - but it's annual acceptance of migrants is very, very small. The U.S., of course, is even worse, especially as Trump is now using such people for his hate machine.
Most of us are racists. We are watching a horror of suffering and you can bet on it that as the numbers grow we will get worse. We already have killed millions fleeing climate change. We're going to see many times worse what we have seen. Climate change will, for example, extend into the U.S. which will then demand that Canada give, say, Alberta to the U.S. to maintain its strength.
We have known about this for thirty years and more - and we haven't done a damn thing. All we can do now is kill.
And this we are already seeing as Trump leads the U.S. into it's Nazi phase of racism for mass murder of the desperate. And Canada, under the leadership of its wealthy elite, will help the U.S. in mass murder.
Mass murder is not new for U.S. big business. It murdered almost all - men, women and children - of its native peoples. Nobody knows the total dead - but it far, far exceeds the holocaust of World War Two. Nobody knows how many Latin Americans it has murdered. When it killed some 200,000 Guatemalans in the 1950s, the news media never even carried the story.
The oil industry will kill countries that try to operate their own oil fields. That's what Venezuela and Iran are about.
I know this is impractical. But this is what capitalism has long been about.
The British Empire (splendid lads, splendid) murdered some 350 million people in its conquests and plundering. If you think it's impossible for rich people to behave that way, I suggest you read some history.
The U.S., especially it's oil industry, has been murdering it's way since World War One. Indeed, it fought in World War Two largely to steal British oil in the middle east - and it worked. (Nobody knows how many it killed because nobody cared.)
Canada deal with this? Possibly. But I don't see much action from the Liberals - and the record of Conservative voters is, to say the least, dismal.
Both the NDP and the Greens are better - but we have to deal with unscrupulous bastards in the oil industry. And I fear it's going to take more than an election to deal with that.
Does this matter? Probably not. The leading Democrat is Joe Biden whose major advantage is that he doesn't spout extreme views as Trump does - but is really not much different in general policies. The U.S. has a long way to go to reach the 21st century. Or even the twentieth.
