Faced with a choice between Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republican incumbent Donald Trump, Harvard University Professor Cornel West is not optimistic about real change coming to the United States.
For decades, West has been a forceful voice arguing that neither party cares for the poor and voiceless except when it is time to vote every four years.
Meanwhile, the demands of maintaining the American empire grow, and military budgets continue to rise at the expense of education and healthcare, hurting not only working Americans, but people around the world.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
