You left out Libya, Gadaffi, the irrigation canal, the hitech weapons from
EU manufacturers, the billions in gold bricks, brown and root, revitalized
agriculture for libya-greening the desert with aquifer water from afar, the
pan african union, new currency and banking system.

Most of us here have been aware of all you have said for a good while. It
is all over the Web, in every nook and cranny. Those of us who choose to
vote Democrat as the lesser of two evils (my apologies to Cthulhu for being
left out) may well have to fight being overcome with cognitive dissonance
in doing so.
This time not voting is not an option for those adhering to the liberal
agenda, much less the permaculture one. I refer you to the Bertold Brecht
saying again.
Voting for Trump gets you written off as a GOP pawn or worse, stooge. I
adhere to the Democratic party for its support of countries, our friends
who might
have to deal with the overtly evil expantionist empire building of Russia
(Putins thugs to be precise). I don't give a damn who the US elects to lead
the country as long as they continue support for our allies. This is rarely
talked about in the context of current election campaigning. Too often
straw man arguments dominate the debate..

All of us would prefer green candidates, Nader, Bernie, Green Party and all
the other candidates mentioned so far. In the current political climate the
cost of getting our people elected is, in practical terms, out of reach.
What should our vision of the future be in terms of political involvement
and progress in the political spectrum? What plan do we follow?  One option
is presenting another Bernie candidate and glean more grass roots low
dollar campaign financing.
Convince people like me to vote that way instead of voting Clinton just to
prevent a Trump win, as I did.
