the Green Party

[mrdj]

I refuse to choose between the red and blue, the elephant and the donkey, the Republican and Democrat. Their ideologies, to me, are morally and ethically bankrupt. Both parties have hidden agendas that serve profit over people, power over progress. They see nations and communities as mere profit centers, exploiting fear and divide to control the masses.

The government's relentless campaign to pit nation against nation, people against people, is a direct affront to the values I hold dear. As Americans, we're indoctrinated to hate Koreans, Chinese, Russians, and god knows who else. We're conditioned to believe these foreign folk are our sworn enemies, to breed terror in the common folk's hearts. It's a brilliant tactic to control our minds and keep us in check.

But let's not forget, this hate-mongering doesn't just burst from the political sphere. It festers in the religious communities too. North Korea, for instance, considers speaking to an American a federal crime punishable by death. Russia's not far behind, with Putin outlawing platforms like Discord and Facebook, and even threatening forced labor and death for Russians who dare talk to Americans.

These draconian measures create an insidious, deep-seated animosity towards the very people we claim to be under God's protection. How can we reconcile our faith's central tenet, "love thy neighbor as thyself," with this gratuitous hatred?

I refuse to participate in this cycle of fear and lies. I will not stand idly by as our leaders, in the name of profit and power, destabilize the global order and incite senseless violence. I will not be swayed by empty promises and false narratives concocted to divide us.

Instead, I choose to align with the values of the Green Party – a beacon of hope in a sea of partisan discord. They prioritize cooperation, sustainability, and social justice, recognizing that our intertwined fates demand an international approach.

In a world where politicians crave control and exploitation, the Greens offer a refreshing alternative. They advocate for a dismantling of the destructive architectures of power that perpetuate hate and inequality. They propose a more compassionate, equitable, and environmentally conscious way forward.

Of course, their platform elicits backlash from the entrenched powers that be. The red and blue are quick to discredit and marginalize the Green Party's vision, even as their own actions sow chaos and division. But I believe in the power of the people to demand better, to create a world that truly reflects our highest ideals.

As I navigate the treacherous landscape of politics, I will not be swayed by the siren songs of party loyalty or the false security of blind allegiance. I will not be complicit in the hate-mongering, fear-based narratives that keep us in chains.

Instead, I choose the path of love, compassion, and conscious choice. I choose to side with the Green Party – not because they have all the answers, but because they represent a critical step towards a more just, equitable, and peaceful world.

In a time when our leaders seem hell-bent on tearing down bridges and fanning the flames of discord, I refuse to contribute to the chaos. I will not be a pawn in their game of divide and conquer.

I will be the change I wish to see in the world. I will stand with those who prioritize love over hate, cooperation over conflict, and the common good over corporate gain.

In the end, it's not about choosing a political party – it's about choosing a moral framework that honors the inherent worth and dignity of all human beings. It's about recognizing that, despite our differences, we are all part of the same global family, interdependent and inextricably linked.

So, I remain independent, undivided by the partisan spin doctors and their manipulative games. I remain committed to building bridges, not walls; to fostering understanding, not animosity; to creating a world where "neighbor" means everyone, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.

That, to me, is the true meaning of politics – not the dirty games of power and greed, but the noble pursuit of a more just, compassionate, and harmonious society for all. And that's a cause worth fighting for.
