Thoughts* on Voting for U.S. President This Year, 2024

(*Stimulated after some light texting-discussion exchanges with brothers & friends)

Anyone of sanity and moral & ethical integity would not vote for Donald Trump for President of the U.S. … or support Trumpian MAGAism. Moreover, it is difficutlt to communicate, cooperate, or compromise with the (lack of appropriate) “values” and policies of the current Republican Party, “Tea Partiers”, “Evangelicals”, or Libertaians (albeit “necessary”).

Joe Biden on the other hand is on the whole … a true statesman and a good man, and he can be compelling.

However, Joe has and will continue to take some very immoral actions influenced by Eaarth’s very immoral society and closed mind(s) to a profoundly holistic Golden Rule (resulting in say … working hard & smart in solidarity to rid Eaarth of nuclear weapons, realize gun control in the U.S., abolish captial punishment, open borders, … care and share, … ) and to realizing sustainable low-input human systems energetics. Biden is definitely a much better being than Donald Trump; nevertheless, Biden’s neoliberal-capitalistic policies and support of consumerism, growth, and militarism & War are not a significant enough improvement over Trumpian MAGAism. The Biden administration is not steering us toward pacificism, degrowth, sustainable agriculture, and local & global equity and away from socio-ecological injustice, destruction of the natural resource base, high energy transformation including fossil, and global climate change.

I do like the platform and many of the proposed policies of the eco-socialistic Green Party.

Nevertheless, at this time, given the opportunity, my plans are to vote for Cornell West to be our next President of the United States!!!?!!!
