Elections are always about change.
Change is a neutral term–it will happen without an election, it will happen with one.
Some politicians are running against change, others are for it.
The incumbent is always defending smaller change.
The new guy is always proposing bigger changes.
Forget change. It will happen whether anyone likes it or not.
Instead, concentrate on what the election is really about.
The election of 1860 was about slavery.
The election of 1960 was about the cold war.
The election of 1980 was about greed.
This election is about fundamentalism disguised as greed.
I advocate for smaller change. I don’t want the god squad in charge of your bedroom or my body.
When they get back to old fashioned greed I’ll give them a listen.
Back to my star ship now…
