Donald Trump didn't change the system, and neither will Joe Biden. They aren't even capable of conceiving of the necessary changes needed. The task is way beyond a mere change in personnel in the White House or in the Congress. What needs to change is the entire system, which is organized to function as a plutocratic wealth and war-generating machine. That will require mass action by organized political consciousness. The ultimate priority is delivering for social need over private profit, requiring the breaking of capitalism and its chains on human potential.

Republicans and Democrats, including millionaires like self-declared "socialist" Bernie Sanders and other so-called progressives, are part of the problem, not the solution.

The supposed right-left divide in US politics is a mirage. An absurd illusion. Both parties are two faces of the same gold doubloon that always ends up in the bottomless pockets of the rich -- the bankers, corporations and war-racketeers.

When any entity is so absolutely corrupt it inevitably becomes outwardly moribund. The misery of American people is reflected in the death and suffering of so many others around the world from the US wars, from Afghanistan to Yemen and beyond. Sick priorities produce more sickness and death. The evidence is staring us in the face.
