While the Republicans are more obvious in this regard, the Democrats appear to be catching up. Under Biden, the United States has become the largest producer of fossil fuels in the world, making the country a major contributor to climate change and environmental destruction. Additionally, continuing inhumane immigration policies, tariffs, and economic nationalism are concerning issues that will hinder future generations. And, oh yeah, almost forget to mention the US is the only country in the world supporting Israel&#8217;s genocide.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">I am hopeful that changes will occur before the next election to address these concerns. It is important to have viable candidates who present clear, constructive solutions, so voters are not left choosing the lesser of two evils, as I believe in voting for positive leadership rather than settling for the least harmful option.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">You asked: How about the Republicans? I know Trump has said he\u2019s losing his support for Israel.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">1) Trump is a liar. How does one know if he&#8217;s lying again? 2) Trump is the only President to have an illegal settlement named after him. &#8220;Trump Heights (Hebrew: \u05e8\u05de\u05ea \u05d8\u05e8\u05d0\u05de\u05e4, romanized: Ramat Trump, [\u0281a\u02c8mat \u02c8t\u0281amp]) is a planned Israeli settlement in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights named after and in honour of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States.&#8221; 3) the House has invited Netanyahu to speak to a joint-session of congress (Independent Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders says he will boycott the session in protest of the war.) 4) &#8221; The House voted to impose sanctions against the International Criminal Court for its move to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials for war crimes in the nation&#8217;s war against Hamas.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">So, unfortunately, the Republicans are even much worse than the Democrats on Israel&#8217;s genocide.<\/div>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;Free Democracy&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-I.mp3 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-I.mp4 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-II.mp3 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-II.mp4 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-III.mp3 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-III.mp4 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-IV.mp3 The-Lesser-of-Two-Evils-IV.mp4 [Intro] Is the lesser of two evils Still ill?
