Be open to

Change.
We are in very scary times.

1- I am 100% with Joe and Kamala. I will vote for whoever runs against the Repugs. I hope it is Joe.

2-This time around is different than any election we have ever been through. We might loose our democracy……period.

3-I am willing to flow with whatever will be the strongest front against Trump, rigged courts and the 2025 plan.
People I respect are calling for change. I have no idea what their recourse is but I am willing to listen and do whatever we need to do to win this election.

4-I want the strongest combo that is willing to fight against the multi front of hatred that is cheating its way to power.

The other day I wrote about my daughter’s concerns about Biden and my post was removed because they said I was pushing right wing talking points. I do hope we can all agree these are different times and we might have to be open to change.

Might just be bitter butthurt on my part, but if this happens it is utterly unforgivable in my eyes.

SO LET'S NOT DO THIS.

Rather than dismissing 14 million+ primary voters who made their choice.

If all these contradictory reports and rumors are to be believed or considered, the ruling, monied class is getting over their skis.

Our only option is to keep our heads down and continue working in whatever way we can to effectuate a win for democracy, thereby crushing those who would burn the house down.

For whatever reason.

5. Yeah I have to be very careful how I phrase things here. It doesn't matter if I'm thinking about the good

of our party and the good of our country. There are certain things you can't discuss here and that makes me sad.

At least now they seem to be open to us saying we will vote for whoever the nominee is.

6. Whatever happens, Democrats must unite.

I've posted a score of times that I support Joe Biden. I admire him as both a person and as a president. Joe Biden is a great man and has been a great president. We all know that in our hearts.

I am also willing to adapt to what ever unfolds. This election is not about me or how I feel about Joe Biden. It is about American democracy. It is about all the people who will be harmed by the policies of MAGA extremism, including people yet to be born.

Remember PUMA, the organization formed after Hillary lost in the primaries to Obama? It was a big distraction and it made a lot of people very angry, in both camps. Let's not revisit that. I have no doubt that if Biden steps aside that he, along with other storied democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, will work hard to bring everyone onto the same page.

I think the ship on Biden's reelection may have already sailed. It sounds that way to me. The only thing that democrats can do is to adjust to a new reality and commit to defeating Trump in November.

That they are worried about the white man vote. If Joe passes away, Kamala would become president. A lot of white men would not want that.
Again, I do want Joe, I voted for Joe. If they change up, they better have a damn good plan.
I don’t want to not vote and see what happens because we are ticked. This is our children’s future..
