I agree, the mask is off and the props and patches holding up the empire are creaking and popping loose. The US/Israeli genocide has exposed the venal, thuggish core of empire. A video of a grieving mother i Gaza holding the body of her murdered child expose the lies of US/Israeli imperialism.
The recent measured and disciplined Iranian response to the Israeli war crime attack on their consulate in Damascus has shifted the power dynamic in the Middle East. While the western media crowed about the Israeli missile defense, they downplayed the fact that Iran had given 72-hour warning, used old and outdated drones and missiles and even then 5 of 7 missiles targeting one of the most defended military bases in Israel ... the same base from which the fighter jets that attacked Damascus took off.
The measured Iranian response was a slap instead of a punch. Imagine what happens with no warning and use of top-of-the-line weaponry. Their slap warns of how devastating their punch can be. Unfortunately, the arrogance and degree of pathological entitlement of the US and Israel assures they will respond stupidly. The result of that will most likely be more crumbling of the foundations of our national arrogance and cruelty. The buzzards will come home to roost.
This may be your best yet. Your description of the dilemna the corporate media is facing, and of the very stark choices the Biden Regime has had and made, is spot-on.
My one difference with you is your decision to support Jill Stein and the Greens. Sorry man, but I just can't do it. I find the Greens to be more of a social club, and a pettily divided social club at that, rather than a political party that even has a dream of accomplishing anything.
They could have had Jesse Ventura in 2020, but he wouldn't meet with all of the identity politics committees the Greens have. They could have had Cornel West, who would have at least made a splash in some swing states, but he was rejected by the transgender faction of the Greens.
I'm also absolutely repulsed by the European Greens' Covidiocy and slavering warmongering against Russia, which can't help but taint an American party of the same name.
Maybe if someone like you was in charge, things would be different.
Can't wait to wave good bye to Genocide Joe Biden! No matter how they try to prop him up, he's going to fall. Hard. It serves him right, too I would love to see a third party president in office and experience the upheaval to the corrupt status quo. All over the world people are sick and tired of endless wars, and shunning Israel for its genocide of Gaza proves this.
Whoever runs is going to lose to Trump. At least voting for a third-party candidate will help take ditch Biden. Love both Stein and West, both are good protest votes, but I'd keep my illusions in-check. Just say'n.
Kennedy said after the Cuban Missile Crisis 'We were eyeball to eyeball - and the other guy blinked first.' It's worth noting that when he said that he'd omitted the little fact that the US government did a lot of blinking during the negotiations. Reagan closed down the Zionist offensive in Lebanon with a single phone call. #GenocideJoe Biden can do the same to close down the current genocide in Palestine - but he won't.
I don't think electoral politics at the national level is worth putting any effort towards. Obviously the election will still be important. What we should put our effort towards is collectively tracing all the different scenarios that could result from the election outcome, and strategize on what how we need to adapt our actions.
Thanks for putting the cartoon to use, RC!

From this day forward, I will always spell it: ISRAHELL.
