@DrJillStein: The political system is broken. Over 60% of us now say the two-party establishment has failed us and we need a party that serves the people. I’m running for President to offer a better choice for the people. Join us! https://jillstein2024.com

I think that the future of the US is going to be growing anger towards the rich.

I don't donate to any political campaigns anymore, but I would vote for her. (Same as I did in 2016.)

Gonna get blinded by a desperate hope into NOT READING WHAT IS BEING PROMOTED AND BY WHAT ORG? Again?

This is the Woke and WEF globalist agenda.

And participating in a blatantly rigged voting system? One you KNOW will simply use your registration and ballot in the algos to push through their choice?

SO IF GREEN WINS THEY ARE CO-OPTED.

Come on guys- STOP WILLFULLY CLOSING YOUR EYES AND WISHING!!!

1. What are you for?
Is it Autonomy as what the People of Cherán (6-min video) have sought to achieve
The Cheránians have not participated in national elections and in fact banned political parties and political campaigning in their community

 
2. How do you propose to achieve what you are for?

I am blackpilled hard on my country and all forms of power within it.

Individuals and small community self-sufficiency outside the system is the ONLY way humans within our borders are going to survive long enough that they make it through the inevitable collapse.

What comes after is anybody's guess

I am blackpilled hard on my country and all forms of power within it.

Individuals and small community self-sufficiency outside the system is the ONLY way humans within our borders are going to survive long enough that they make it through the inevitable collapse.

What comes after is anybody's guess

 
The System - the Indirect Hierarchical System - is designed to collapse

  • 'Collapse' is a feature - a phase designed into the System
  • The 'Collapse' is what enables the most rapid transfer of power into the hands of the Few
  • Post 'Collapse', they have more freedom to reset the System to their fancy

 
that is
IF people continue to abide by the Indirect Hierarchical Paradigm - pre- and post-collapse
Also,
IF there is no alternative, people would be more likely to abide by it
IF there is an alternative, people would be less likely to abide by it

 
On the balance, having an alternative is better than not having an alternative because:

 
1. Choice is Good, but do we really have a choice?
People get to know what no one ever knew: they had a choice all along.
People may just choose the alternative just for a change.

 
2. The Real Election: The Paradigm to abide by
People soon realize the impact of the Incumbent Paradigm - it really undergirds everything in their lives. People may more likely choose the alternative IF:

  • in the process of comparison it becomes clear to them: the Incumbent Paradigm fleeces them - many times over in their life time and multi-generationally
  • after examining the alternative it becomes clear to them: the Alternative Paradigm is sound

 
3. Collapse: Averted or Alleviated
People can choose to have the Alternative Paradigm before the Collapse
-- for a managed transition to completely avert the Collapse, or to reduce its effects
 
People can still choose to have the Alternative Paradigm after the Collapse
-- To reduce its effects AND to re-build from scratch.
Hope still abounds even after the Incumbent Paradigm/System reaches collapse IF they would turn to the Alternative Paradigm

 
4. The Incumbent Paradigm Dethroned & Dis-Perpetuated - Easily
The more people LOOK INTO the Alternative Paradigm and
The more people ENGAGE OTHERS on the Alternative Paradigm,
The more people know they have a choice
The more people know they have a sound Alternative
The more people know the Collapse can be and must be averted
The more people know the evils the Incumbent Paradigm is capable of and has manifested
the faster would the Incumbent Paradigm be dethroned and its perpetuation stopped
--- simply by shunning it for the Alternative Paradigm

 
 
Q: What constitutes a sound alternative for people?
 
A:

  • Transformative change
  • Easy to understand
  • Proven to work
  • Ready for use
  • Participatory
  • Accountable
  • Transparent
  • Accessible
  • Malleable
  • Secure
  • Fair
  • Sustainable
  • Costs < Benefits
  • Risks < Rewards

 
 
Q: What then is the alternative to the Indirect Hierarchical Paradigm & Systems that can satisfy all the above criteria?

 
A: The Direct Reciprocal Paradigm & associates systems
It directly address these criteria by emphasizing principles of participatory decision-making, interdependence, equitable distribution of resources and community empowerment - all of which have been demonstrated successfully in various models and contexts:

  • Wörgl alternative currency system
  • Mondragon cooperative business model
  • Total Quality Management (TQM) consensus-based problem solving techniques

IF Direct Sunshine and Direct Reciprocal Exchange
is observed in nature

 
AND we are instructed
Loving the Divine and our neighbors as ourselves
is the Greatest Commandment

 
THEN Centering Goodwill and Neighborly Reciprocity
is perhaps a good way to describe "the Natural Law"
-- distributing power naturally and protecting against usurpation

Everything boils down to this:
Absent a paradigm change,
indirect hierarchical systems perpetuate power concentration indefinitely...

Full announcement:

Let's put a pro-worker, anti-war, climate emergency agenda front and center in this election and on the ballot across the country.

People are tired of being thrown under the bus by wealthy elites & their bought politicians, tired of living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to pay the rent, locked into student debt & medical debt, with child poverty doubling, rising diseases of despair, & growing hopelessness.

The ruling parties that got us into this mess aren't getting us out.

Both parties are squandering trillions on the endless war machine, fueling conflict around the world while tens of millions here at home lack food, housing, and healthcare.

The two parties of war and Wall Street are bought and paid for.

The Democrats have betrayed their promises for working people, youth and the climate again and again - while Republicans don’t even make such promises in the first place.

Both establishment parties are a danger to our democracy, expanding censorship, criminalizing protest, throwing competitors off the ballot, suppressing debates, rigging their primaries, and using their power to serve their wealthy donors instead of the people.

The political insiders always smear outsiders like us & try to shame voters who want better choices.

So forget the politicians & pundits who tell you to ignore your struggle and keep voting for those who caused it.

Change won't come from the elites; it comes from we the people.

We need an economy that works for all of us, not just the elites.

To reverse surging inequality, we need an Economic Bill of Rights including the right to a living-wage job, housing, food, healthcare, education & more, to guarantee all of us the basic security for a good life.

The warning signs are clear: we must take decisive action now to prevent climate collapse.

We need a Green New Deal with massive investment in green jobs & technologies to revitalize the American economy, improve our lives, protect our planet and safeguard our children’s future.

We must end the shameful legacy of systemic discrimination against women, Black and Brown people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other marginalized groups, and come together to ensure our rights, freedoms, and justice for all.

The bipartisan war machine enriches contractors & politicians while it fuels devastation around the world & impoverishes our people.

We must end the endless wars & create a new foreign policy based on diplomacy, int'l law & human rights to oppose violence, occupation & apartheid.

Our democracy is on life support. Belief in our political system is at historic lows and the number who feel neither establishment party represents them is at a record high.

We need real choices on the ballot, because without freedom of choice in elections, there is no democracy.

When we stand together, we the people have the power - and we can use it in this election to start building an America and a world that works for all of us.

Terrific agenda. As with 2016, I don't see anything I disagree with.

I'm glad to see this announcement and will watch her progress with great interest.
