Friends of mine & folks who know me thru social media: pls read thru to the end of this blog - or thread on social media - before you shut it off. In 2010 the far right grabbed one half of our political structure by “primarying” Republicans deemed not sufficiently far right. 1/10

They - or their leaders - knew that by taking over one of the 2 “major” political parties, they effectively grabbed the mechanisms written into statutes. “3rd party” & independent candidates have to petition to be on ballots. Not the “D’s” and “R’s.” 2/10

Election boards routinely “toss” signatures on petitions - petitions for candidates that seek to run against the grain, i.e., the 2 major parties. The “D’s” were silly in being complicit - so, too, were “old guard” “R’s.” 3/10

It’s time we employed tactics - as shareholders in the hostile takeover of a corporation; and that’s what the two “major” political parties are: corporations - to take back control of our political structure. 4/10

Racists do not have a right to run this country. Oligarch rulers of foreign powers - dictators - are not supposed to pick our leaders. 5/10
