THE CENTRALITY OF DEMOCRACY, CAPITALISM, AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IN AMERICA

America is the land of opportunity. It is that opportunity that has attracted immigrants from all over the world for many years. But that American opportunity has been incomplete when unfettered to the point of allowing social and economic injustice. That injustice was seen in the sweat shops of a century ago and taken to the extreme in the slavery that existed in the South before the Civil War. The after effects of that slavery persisted after the Civil War and have been slow to end. Although diminished, they persist in varying degrees to the present. Economically many of the wealthiest Americans desperately want to maximize their wealth as much as possible in relation to their fellow Americans and are willing to take any measures including the suppression of democracy to retain that maximization. Inequities are not just economic. Some Americans desperately feel the need to retain the social position given to them because of their race, religion, or country of origin of their ancestors and are willing to suppress the rights of their neighbors to retain that social position.

In the upcoming election, President Trump has been enabled to lie and cheat because he represents a shrinking radical right minority who wish to retain out of control economic and social advantages. Joe Biden in the primary election defeated and then reached agreement with the farther left faction of his party who tried to get ahead of the reality of this point in time. Biden represents the realistic centrism that can pull America together today. VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT AND KAMALA HARRIS FOR VICE PRESIDENT! Most important, VOTE! VOTE EARLY! VOTE IN WHICHEVER WAY WORKS BEST FOR YOU! MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS RECEIVED AND COUNTED! IF WE STICK TOGETHER IN THIS CRUCIAL ELECTION, WE CAN DUKE OUT OUR DIFFERENT IDEAS IN THE NEXT ELECTION.
