Hes the perfect pick. A pick like youve never seen picked. Some people are saying, the most perfect pick in the million years that people have been picking people. If foot dragging was an Olympic sport, he would be a 10 time Gold Medalist.
Or not.

(12,466 posts)It's done...We must use what we have left and throw it daily back in the faces of the Supreme Court....Apply/redirect our rage into fighting them continual with confrontation, protesting and voting Biden for President....Win both House and Senate as well in November...
American voters are not stupid....we have outrageous information to present in a national campaign... all the insane things happening....Just don't let the media normalize them anymore....
Voice our outrage to all the criminal and political corruption and shout..." We are not going to take it anymore".

(3,488 posts)Since MLK in Memphis, since Bobby Kennedy, since Vietnam, SINCE CHICAGO 68, since Nixon, since Reagan, since fucking GEORGE BUSH, since Desert Storm, since Desert Bullshit, since TFG, and on and on and yes, vast swaths of American voters ARE stupid and damn proud of it and it all gets worse and worse and worse and there is no bottom.
I organized the first Vietnam protest that I ever heard of in Birmingham in 1970, and all of us, with permits and peace in our hearts got our heads bashed in within 10 minutes of marching,
by Birmingham cops with Billy clubs. I redirected my rage then and Ive never stopped protesting and redirecting, rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
Ive been around for 72 years and a Democrat in my DNA (NOT a Dixiecrat!) from the moment I said to my mother, driving around in Greenville,South Carolina, look at that poor colored lady when I saw a cold and disheveled and hungry person at a bus stop. She corrected me,gently and with no hate, just a genteel Southern upbringing: There are no colored ladies , son. Just colored women.
So, theres no cmon now for me, not in the twilight of my life, not in the sunset of my eternal optimism that things would be better. And in many ways they have. But in so many incredibly important ways, theyre worse, and all thats left is me, redirecting rage, until the light flickers out for me.
