Joe Biden has done little to help anyone but corporatists and US-backed dictators like Netanyahu. Those of us who clamor for human rights at home and abroad are quickly having to assess whether we will vote at all, or flee the country ourselves when we're vulnerable and seeing little change. We have been told for decades to vote for the lesser evil, with the lesser evil being worse and worse every time. Is it any surprise we're tired of being stamped on and being told to be silent?
We might consider the historical precedent of Jews in Germany during the 30's. Why did some take the initiative and leave? Were they simply clear-eyed enough about world history and applying appropriate pattern recognition? What will make us do the same? Have we been too long the privileged ones, unable now to see the looming disaster for what it is?
I don't know answers to those questions but they occupy some of my waking thought every day.
