Misogyny As Strategy In Politics….
Sex sells, knows the entertainment industry. Supremacy is sold as being sexy — -
https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/09/11/re-appraising-the-west-wing-a-multi-season-hyperreal-clinton-sobriquet-cum-apologia-for-thermidor/--The West Wing is the cornerstone of a hyperreal simulation and simulacrum created by the conglomeration of NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Television to obfuscate the neoliberal Thermidor within the Democratic Party that has taken place in the past half century. The interplay between the nonfiction simulation on its news broadcast platforms and the simulacrum on its fictional broadcasts creates a wraparound ideological assault that hinders the base constituencies of the Democratic Party from recognizing the leadership superstructure’s abandonment of the Keynesian social contract and their targeted evisceration of the welfare state.

Be aware of so-called meritocracy, which is the darling of Establishment Democrats — --https://twitter.com/profwolff/status/1304447358009135105?cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email--Billionaires can and often do buy their childrens’ educations and degrees. The kids can then pretend later that they became billionaires because of their “achievements.” Dont be fooled.
— end of facebook post — —
Yet, we are fooled. The indoctrination cooked into earning a degree from an institution of higher learning has nothing to do with wisdom, intelligence, or integrity. Yet the holders of such degree insinuate their superiority. That’s fine; but don’t believe this lie. It’s called advertising.
Debates are the means by which voters can compare positions and policies of politicians. In 2020 the debates are hosted by the Democratic/Republican duopoly (access www.debates.org to learn) and 3rd-Party candidates are censored out of conversations. We The People need to demand Free Speech for 3rd-Party candidates — — https://mailchi.mp/17da60ddc2f1/these-problems-arent-fixing-themselves-154662?e=0321af3aa9--
It’s time to set the course aright and put the nation on a path toward true peace both home and abroad, where whistleblowers like Julian Assange, Reality Winner, Edward Snowden and others are given a proper place in society as truth tellers.
But deep down, you know that this course correction will never come from either capitalist party, with campaign coffers stuffed full of contributions from the military industrial complex and from the corporations that are conducting surveillance on us all…right now.
We won’t even hear these issues on the debate stage, because the Commission on Presidential Debates is really a private company which elbows out former partners like the League of Women Voters, so they can control the public discourse and keep our focus away from these real threats.
But Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker are still fighting to put the message of peace and justice onto the public agenda, in spite of the mainstream media trying to disappear this campaign and its platform.

So what will we not hear about in the Republican/Democratic duopoly debate is the most divisive and important issue, which is the right of women to control their own life and bodies.
-https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/06/21/where-major-religious-groups-stand-on-abortion/--Abortion is still a difficult, contentious and even unresolved issue for some religious groups.
— end of pewresearch info —
Elections and political Parties have been curiously and un-Constitutionally influenced by religion in recent years. Yet the topic most strident within these groups, which is abortion, is not discussed by so many politicians these religious group influence.
On the Republican side of the duopoly we hear on camera, Trump describe his hubris and ego-boost in physically insulting women.
Trump wavers with the wind. If Trump could win the Presidency by candidacy on the Democratic Establishment ticket, he would happily go pro-choice — -https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-01-24/trump-a-late-convert-to-cause-to-join-anti-abortion-rally--It was just four years ago when a political committee supporting one of Trump’s Republican rivals unveiled an ad slamming his views on abortion, complete with footage from a 1999 interview in which he declared, “I am pro-choice in every respect.”

Joe Biden is typically slippery on this topic, along with most other issues — --https://theintercept.com/2020/03/07/joe-biden-abortion-rights/--Biden claimed that recent Republican anti-abortion efforts around the country prompted his change of position. But widespread abortion restriction laws have hacked away at abortion access for years — including throughout President Barack Obama’s tenure — and Biden’s support of the Hyde Amendment did not shift.

One is curious but not surprised that the channel cable news media Shows are titillated over personality over policy, but this makes propagation of propaganda easier. Better to shift with ratings. More troublesome is that voters respond to the entertainment value of candidates rather than to policies.
This absence of integrity from our government is typical in 2020. So the deeply irregular notion of who should be the lawyer for We The People, but is now Trump’s personal sycophant named Barr and masquerading as AG, is attempting to make We The People pay for the protection of the same Trump who speaks publicly about sexually assaulting women, in a personal rape case — — https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/justice-department-intervenes-in-trump-and-e-jean-carroll-case.html--
- The White House requested that the U.S. Justice Department launch an effort to intervene in a lawsuit in which President Donald Trump is accused of defaming E. Jean Carroll, Attorney General William Barr revealed.
- Carroll has said that Trump raped her years ago.
- The Justice Department filed a notice removing Carroll’s case, which was being handled in New York state court, to Manhattan federal court.
- “The DOJ was not meant to serve as the president’s personal in-house counsel, particularly on the taxpayer’s dime,” said Joseph Tacopina, a New York defense attorney.

MSNBC delights in personality over principle and policy, so they should enjoy this bait-and-switch as surely as they have promoted the misogyny within the Democratic Establishment Primary that has denigrated relentlessly, women….especially white women. The ongoing scolding from Democratic strategists of women who didn’t vote in compliance with Democratic Establishment dictatorship was only the tip of the iceberg.
The West Wing appears to have been a Hollywood production indoctrination of the public into views. This appears to be an Establishment conditioning in order to promote policy without the need to so express in open language. Open discussion can get so messy.
As a ‘70’s Feminist, one has warned young ladies of the current times, that they are loosing their autonomy and control of their own bodies. Disdainful amusement was the preliminary response from young ladies secure in their rights. Uneasy side-glances and worried looks have followed, as Choice is seriously under attack.
The underlying and continual work of patriarchy that is the foundation of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment is misogyny and convincing women of their role as enablers of White Supremacy.
One is grateful to C-Span that hosts diverse views — --https://www.c-span.org/video/?475496-3/washington-journal-dwayne-bryant-discusses-law-enforcement-minority-community-relations--
Dwayne Bryant on Law Enforcement and Minority Community Relations
Dwayne Bryant, author of The STOP: Improving Police and Community Relations, talked about law enforcement, police accountability, and minority community relations.
— end of c-span info — Dwayne Bryant expressed a view that black people can entertain White Supremacist perspectives.
This is similar to women who support White Supremacy that underlies capitalistic hierarchical Establishment. It’s about power and greed.
This Primary Season has been replete with the use of race to imply light misogyny that cast aspersions away from White Supremacists of all hue and gender.
The result is we have Presidential candidates who both have earned questionable history about attitude toward women. That the topic of abortion that hangs in the balance and is crucial to more than half of the population of the USA, is censored, along with 3rd-Party Presidential candidates.
One believes the FACTual undertone of the Democratic/Republican duopoly is to maintain political control using the natural patriarchal tool of misogyny; and one isn’t sure that many of the players have considered thoroughly, their own underlying instincts and motivations. This can be stated because in a nation rife with violence, with everyone crying out “why?, why?”, the question is never asked, as to the overwhelming origin of said violence. In order not to use the Hillary-Clinton detested insinuation, one refers to the origin of such violence as men. This is never to insinuate anything other than an out-of-control minority of men are responsible; but that they are so out of control, seems an apt topic of discussion that instead, we never have. The same is true of sexual abuse.
That this ardent criminality has leaked into our politics needs to be addressed.
The only topic one is more interested in is the similarly-ignored Climate Change Crisis.
Apparently the same types who embrace patriarchy are also benefiting from the commercial pursuits that have given us Climate Change. That the Democratic Party isn’t using their winning policy card of Pro-Choice, is explained by the large number of Republican voters who may vote Democratic due to Trump on the Republican ticket, and the Democratic Party invites these voters, even though this mean the Democratic policy will therefore never address a comprehensive health care policy, police unions, or globalization that sent American jobs overseas, or Climate Change.
Instead, talking heads are reporting nonsense about nonsense candidates. And to top it off, our nonsense Presidential candidates may be the stars in a November coup promulgated by each side of the duopoly Democratic/ Republican.
One wonders when or if we can ever remember the duties of freedom and the responsibilities of self-governance in a democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.
A growing number of voters are sufficiently disgusted with this Reality Show, to investigate Green Party Presidential candidate Howie Hawkins. To listen to the perspectives of Howie Hawkins and running mate Angela Walker is a much-needed breath of fresh air and introduction to policy that is crucial if Americans are not willing to self-annihilate. Hawkins honestly grapples with the real and intimate policies that effect the life of people. When you listen to him, you will know his response is honest. Honesty is at least a great starting point from which to discuss policy.

The Democratic/Republican duopoly continue to attempt to censor anyone standing in their way, which seems authoritarian, if not the work of dictatorship — --https://secure.howiehawkins.us/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=406&utm_campaign=website&utm_source=sendgrid.com&utm_medium=email--Since the time that we turned in our petitions to get onto the Pennsylvania ballot, it has been a legal battle.
First, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party challenged our signatures line by line. But they had to drop that challenge.
Then, they challenged the candidate substitution paperwork that PA Greens submitted and managed to get Angela Walker knocked off as the vice presidential candidate.
But the courts ordered Howie (at least) to be placed onto the ballot, and we celebrated a partial victory for a day or so.
But now the Democrats have now appealed. Our response to their court appeal is due on Monday.

Lost in the fog of political corruption over several decades, is the fact that the Presidential debates were once in the capable hands of the League of Women Voters — --https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud----Most objectionable to the League, Neuman said, were conditions in the agreement that gave the campaigns unprecedented control over the proceedings. Neuman called “outrageous” the campaigns’ demands that they control the selection of questioners, the composition of the audience, hall access for the press and other issues.
“The campaigns’ agreement is a closed-door masterpiece,” Neuman said. “Never in the history of the League of Women Voters have two candidates’ organizations come to us with such stringent, unyielding and self-serving demands.”
Neuman said she and the League regretted that the American people have had no real opportunities to judge the presidential nominees outside of campaign-controlled environments.

https://straty.com/controlling-outcomes-controlling-table-stakes/---After studying the election process in 1985, the bipartisan National Commission on Elections recommended “turning over the sponsorship of Presidential debates to the two major parties”. The CPD was established in 1987 by the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Parties to “take control of the Presidential debates”. The commission was staffed by members from the two parties and chaired by the heads of the Democratic and Republican parties… (wikipedia)
— -end of straty info — -
https://www.debates.org/---The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure, for the benefit of the American electorate, that general election debates between or among the leading candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are a permanent part of the electoral process. CPD’s primary purpose is to sponsor and produce the quadrennial general election debates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation, sponsored all of the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016

This also filters out any other than Democratic Establishment and Republican Establishment views. This means We The People have nothing to say in our own governance.
Consider the large number of voters who do not embrace the policies of either of the Democratic Establishment or Republican Establishment, and the fact that the Democratic Establishment and Republican Establishment have swindled the American electorate out of unbiased information directly from possible Presidential choices; often outside of the Capitalist Party D&R. Since these disgusting events in the ‘80’s, state-run/corporate-owned MSM has consistently indoctrinated We The People into accepting the falsehood that “we are a 2-Party system”. This has had the effect of rending illegitimate, the deeply legitimate tradition of free, clean, and fair elections.
In other words, politicians are now choosing their voters, rather than voters choosing their politicians.
Acting on the human frailty of ignorance combined with arrogance, and using as an example the Democratic Establishment, one recognizes what is called a Democratic Base that believes in their right to dictate to others, their voting choices.
