By Ralph Nader April 11, 2025 If there was ever a strong contemporary case for declaring that silence is complicity, consider the hush of Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and even George W. Bush as they grind their teeth over the Donald Trump/Elon Musk wrecking…
The reason they are silent is because they have been actively, not passively, complicit. Take Obama, for example. The man kept the patriot act in place, expanded it, killed more people with Drones than Bush, including a U.S. citizen, prosecuted journalists and whistleblowers, etc. Bill Clinton repealed Glass Steagal which created the conditions for the 2007-2008 financial crisis, implemented “triangulation” as a political strategy….
If I was any of these people I would shut the fuck up too.
