While I totally agree with the permanent ceasefire, why would anyone even think for a second that this would work? If Biden cared enough about human life to stop the attack, he would have done so. He doesn\u2019t. The military industrial complex is profitable, people. Establishment politicians like Biden (left and right) care more about those profits, and American dominance, than they do human life.<\/p>\n<p>How about doing something truly progressive and voting him out? Marianne Williamson has been calling for a ceasefire and a two-state solution from the very beginning. Marianne has been a humanitarian political activist, a transformational speaker, and a best selling author. She\u2019s on the ballot, despite the DNC\u2019s attempts otherwise. Please don\u2019t kid yourselves. Joe Biden is not grandpa who cares about his kids. He didn\u2019t even care enough about our opinion to hold debates. And you think he will care now? He won\u2019t. Vote Marianne Williamson instead on Jan. 23.<\/p>\n<p>Grace Buckman <\/p>\n<p>Troy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read about the idea of writing in \u201cCeasefire\u201d on Democratic primary ballots, instead of Joe Biden\u2019s name.
