Harris vs. Trump: Elite Power Plays and Voter Impact

USA, Washington: With the November presidential election looming, the U.S. political scene is increasingly perceived as a superficial charade. The political elite, encompassing military, industrial, investment, and government sectors, seem to view the electorate as passive spectators in their relentless pursuit of power and wealth. The election appears to be a strategic move to either galvanize support for the neoliberal Kamala Harris or provoke anger to return Donald Trump to power, with both scenarios benefiting the elite at the expense of the general public.

Kamala Harris's public engagement is criticized as farcical, as she has neither directly addressed the media nor garnered any votes. Her campaign’s true nature is scrutinized through Glen Greenwald’s report on her foreign policy stance, questioning her awareness of Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical limitations. Meanwhile, Trump's unpredictable foreign policy and potential domestic threats add to the uncertainty. The debate over nuclear launch codes during his first term underscores the peril of a more organized Trump administration.

Alternative candidates like Cornel West and Jill Stein offer promising yet unlikely shifts in policy, as the power elite may easily undermine their influence. The concept of genuine consent from the governed seems increasingly hollow, illustrated by the thwarted progressive agenda of Bernie Sanders. The era of inverted totalitarianism sees the public as mere pawns, with economic and individual rights eroded over time, particularly since the September 2001 attacks, which intensified government surveillance and curtailed personal freedoms.
