Why “Lesser Evilism” Is a Loser

Against the Current September-October 2016, ATC 184 AGAINST THE CURRENT interviewed Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president in 2016 following its convention at the end of July. The Green Party vice-presidential candidate is Ajamu Baraka. Against the Current: How do you answer the question that the only thing that counts is beating Trump? Jill Stein: That’s the question we get every election. It’s the question we get most in this election. It’s what the Democrats said in 1964 about Goldwater. “Part of the way with LBJ.” Goldwater lost in a landslide but the Democrats escalated in Vietnam and…

It’s time for black people to break the two-party system

PBS Newshour By Arielle Newton August 17, 2016 As a radical black militant, this presidential election is best characterized as a tyrannical pageant of white fear. Across the political spectrum, white voters are terrified of what the future will bring should either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump become the next commander in chief. White supporters of Hillary Clinton are concerned with the rise of neo-­fascism, of what a Trump presidency would mean for the fragile economic sector, foreign policy, immigration and social progress. For Trump supporters, a world of black and brown people pouring through American borders is a dastardly…

on Robert Naiman’s attacks on Jill Stein (on behalf of Hillary Clinton)

To Robert Naiman, of JustForeignPolicy: Good to know what kind of person you really are — a disgusting, underhanded, partisan Democrat who will stoop to low levels to support the most aggressive pro-war candidate the Democrats have produced. How can you call yourself a peace activist? What are your ties to the Clinton campaign? Are they paying you to do this dirty work for them? Are you an insider given this information as part of the Clinton campaign’s effort to slander Jill Stein with falsehoods? Thank you for exposing the campaign against Stein by the Clinton team — we will…

The 1 Percent’s Useful Idiots

truthdig By Chris Hedges July 26, 2016 PHILADELPHIA—The parade of useful idiots, the bankrupt liberal class that long ago sold its soul to corporate power, is now led by Sen. Bernie Sanders. His final capitulation, symbolized by his pathetic motion to suspend the roll call, giving Hillary Clinton the Democratic nomination by acclamation, is an abject betrayal of millions of his supporters and his call for a political revolution. No doubt the Democrats will continue to let Sanders be a member of the Democratic Caucus. No doubt the Democrats will continue to agree not to run a serious candidate against…

Black Lives Still Matter

Green Party of Texas By Aaron Renaud July 8, 2016 Last night was difficult for a variety of reasons. Chief among them is the realization that our pursuit of racial equality and police demilitarization will be even more challenging as a result. Many individuals have immediately chosen to blame the organizers and activists of the peaceful protests, here in Texas, and across the nation. The Green Party does not support violent methods of political expression, but we need to remember that the blame falls entirely on our corrupt and racist system and its institutions that terrify, brutalize, and murder people…
