I remember an old spy novel, where the Russian says to the American, "When we seek power, we go to the power. When your side seeks power, they go to the money."

Do you think the Democrats, the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens are not equally beholden to foreign interests? Do you think the Russians don't have compromising information on many of them?

Just because the oligarchs controlling our media whitewash everything they do, because they own them more effectively than the loose cannon, it seems the herd just follows along.

The reason I don't think its worth my having to take one side over the other is because my strong sense is that the whole system really is breaking down. The puppet show is getting increasingly threadbare and the fights going on behind the curtains are getting extremely obvious, to all but the most blinkered.

So I am voting strategically, because when the big tree falls, there will be saplings springing up and those with the most healthy foundations will have the greatest chance.

Respect and responsibility hold socety together, while fear and greed tear it apart.

Even parasites need a healthy host.

When history looks back on these times, Assange will be recognized as one of the heroes, even if he does drink the hemlock/pinned to the cross/burned at the stake/locked up and thrown away the key.

The people in power will be seen as the villians.
