Trump or Harris, the outcome of this election was never going to make a meaningful difference to the victims of the U.S. empire, whatever we were told, writes Jonathan Cook.
Abstract:
-
Excerpt:
Kamala Harris didn’t lose because she’s a woman or because she’s black.
She lost because, if your political and media system — rigged by donors — limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as “communism,” the most hardline, neoliberal candidate has an edge.
Over time, the system keeps moving further to the hardline, neoliberal right. You can’t stop that relentless shift by voting for one of the two symptoms of your diseased political system.
You have to rise up against the diseased system itself.
