For a long time now, the politics of fear is all that Dems and Repubs have to offer us. But as Jill Stein observes, voting for what you fear a little less has a track record. It delivers still more of what we fear, not less.
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦

I wanna scream that this is
I wanna scream that this is
I wanna scream that this is
I wanna scream that this is:
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
They keep singinā their same olā songā
Big lies, for us to blindly sing alongā¦
False alerts of oranges, yellows and reds
Pounding terror and fear into our headsā
āMost important $election of our lifetimes:
$electing criminals for more war crimes!ā
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear a thug-in-a-rug, blowhard buffoonā
āToo big to failā thieves are still immune!
Fear wannabe warmongers and other kooksā
The Commander spent trillions on nukes!
Fear sock puppets, stead of 1% puppeteersā
PSYOP $campaignsāevery four yearsā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear folks in hoodies, hijabs, kufis, turbans
Not Brooks Brothers terrorists in Suburbans
Fear undocumented workers taking āourā jobsā
Not the āperson-hoodā, who steals and robsā¦
Fear U.S.-armed assets, terrorist playthings
Not the next ābubbleā and destruction it bringsā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-Fearā¦
Fear anthrax in plastic-wrapped homesā/duct tape
Not Nazis, Plutocrats nurtureāand helped escapeā
Of course, whatās most to fear is deadly fear itself:
Leaving revolution resting on the corporate shelfā¦
