Support is needed to get us beyond the FPTP mentality and change the SYSTEM. This group should understand it is changing the SYSTEM that affects change. It’s one of the things I learned from my association with it. Get out of world made by the current system. I’m voting for Jill Stein. Join me. Don’t stay stuck.

I find former President Trump a charlatan and – more dangerous – a successfully scapegoating demagogue.

And I’m as displeased with Biden’s role in Gaza and Bush’s invasion of Iraq, along with things Clinton, Obama and most other U.S. presidents have done. But on November 5 we will have to make a choice. And to suggest that there is some equivalence between Trump and ANY other American president, Nixon included, if indeed that’s what Dharma was doing, is a step way too far for me. In my opinion, Trump is the most morally bankrupt character to ever have walked across the stage of American history, bar none.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Randy<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br><br><o:p></o:p></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" type="cite"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">On Jul 21, 2024, at 11:04 AM, William Schlesinger <<a href="mailto:w.schlesinger@pvida.net" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">w.schlesinger@pvida.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;" type="cite"><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I speak only for myself.
