US Election: The Illusion of Choice
==========
Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff discuss the upcoming US presidential election on November 5, 2024; they argue that both candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, represent the interests of the deep state and Wall Street; they highlight the lack of real choice for voters, who are essentially voting against the other candidate; they note the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, suggesting that both candidates are aligned on militaristic policies; they criticize the Democratic Party's approach to war and suggest that the election is framed around choosing which war to support; they express skepticism about the possibility of a Palestinian state due to the current geopolitical situation; they predict that the decline of the American Empire will lead to significant political shifts and potential for new movements against inequality; they emphasize the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying issues rather than the superficial narratives presented by politicians.
