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.

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¦

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:
