Replying to myself here - the thing about Rusty Bowers, however is this: if you know who were to run in 2024, he would vote for him!!!!!! Now I ask you, how in the world does that make any sense at all? It makes no sense. What this approach PROVES is that the lure, the addiction, to a party first (and policies that are at their core deeply detrimental to democracy in the United States let alone the world) and to citizenship and commitment to the project of a humane world that SEES others as part of the community and not as enemies to be overcome, that SEES that the capacity to earn or even make money is SECOND to ethics and morality. Unfortunately the current situation with the gop (not to mention that there are only 2 political party choices and those choices contain many streams fighting against each other most of the time) means voting gop means voting for Fascism/autocracy. There was a time voting dem meant the same. Then that all flipped - thanks to Nixon, primarily and the "southern strategy" which focused on white supremacy and race. Talk about schizoid personality!
