There is an alternative political narrative
I commend Caitlin Johnstone’s critique of the US electoral system and that neither Presidential candidate will adequately address the pressing social and environmental problems both the US and the world face. But Caitlin, there is an organisation and movement both here and in the US which is addressing the issues at a grassroots level that you say are so desperately needed to bring about real change to people’s lives and a resolution to international conflict.
I commend the Greens as such an entity which is trying to address these issues through mobilising communities to be more active in bringing about the necessary changes.
They oppose AUKUS and the ogre of the military industrial complex, support the plight of the Palestinians and condemnation of the apartheid Israeli state, call for strong action to address the housing crisis, support international diplomacy, support the rights of First Nations people, call for a halt to native forest logging and land clearing, advocate for stronger action to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and a transition to renewable energy and strongly support action to protect our precious biodiversity.
And all the while supporting businesses that create and market products that are essential for quality of life.
