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-FearâŠ

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-FearâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
They keep singinâ their same olâ songâ
Big lies, for us to blindly sing alongâŠ
False alerts of oranges, yellows and reds
Pounding terror and fear into our headsâ
âMost important $election of our lifetimes:
$electing criminals for more war crimes!â
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear a thug-in-a-rug, blowhard buffoonâ
âToo big to failâ thieves are still immune!
Fear wannabe warmongers and other kooksâ
The Commander spent trillions on nukes!
Fear sock puppets, stead of 1% puppeteersâ
PSYOP $campaignsâevery four yearsâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear folks in hoodies, hijabs, kufis, turbans
Not Brooks Brothers terrorists in Suburbans
Fear undocumented workers taking âourâ jobsâ
Not the âperson-hoodâ, who steals and robsâŠ
Fear U.S.-armed assets, terrorist playthings
Not the next âbubbleâ and destruction it bringsâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear-Fear-Fear-Fear-FearâŠ
Fear anthrax in plastic-wrapped homesâ/duct tape
Not Nazis, Plutocrats nurtureâand helped escapeâ
Of course, whatâs most to fear is deadly fear itself:
Leaving revolution resting on the corporate shelfâŠ
