Presidential Candidate Dr. Jill Stein: 4/16/2016 0 Comments   diagnoses of The United States' Multi-Organ Failure by E.L. Christianson Jr. This is a rather accurate description of our situation here in the United States of America.  We visit with our doctor and find out that we have several problem issues at several different level that are affecting several areas of our performance. It is really serious when, as a patient, one does not recognize that there is a problem.  Believing one is in perfect health keeps one from visiting the doctor in the first place and allows one to dismiss warning signs in the second place.   Our superiority complex hides many weaknesses and our use of the word 'democracy' to describe ourselves is completely misleading... Part of the way the US Empire's elections are rigged is the corporate media's censorship of third-party candidates, despite their nationwide campaign efforts. The Green Party, running Dr. Jill Stein for president, has been totally ignored by the establishment. ​ Abby Martin sits down with Dr. Stein to look at how her career in medicine helped her diagnose the United States' "multi-organ failure," and why her ideas pose such a threat to Empire.  Watch the video. Virtually every citizen of this country could sit down and create a long list of things that are wrong in this country.  It is not un-patriotic to recognize the truth and to wish for better outcomes for one's own country.  In actual fact, it is not very patriotic to stand around claim that everything is good when one knows that everything is not good.   People seem to convince themselves that they must vote for a 'winner'.  They assure themselves that candidate so and so, whom they like, can't win and therefore they feel obligated to vote for this other person who, 'at least has a chance'... so they say... 'the lesser of two evils' is a popular vote getter. There are a couple of different ways to view that person and their thinking.  For one, if they don't vote for the person they think is the better choice, then for sure that person can't win.  They cast their own vote to guarantee that the person they themselves believe is the better candidate 'can't win'.   Another way to view the situation is to say to oneself, 'I voted for the best candidate.'  Regardless of who wins and regardless of the consequences of the election and regardless of the effects on down the road, "I cast my vote for the person who I felt was the best candidate'.  Democracy can't get any better than that, and that's the truth !!!
