(8,064 posts)They somehow looked into their krystal balls and just KNEW a Biden Future would be just as, and more than likely, WORSE right-wing than Trump (austerity, racism, wars, etc.).
THEN, they threw in the whole senility thing, which was a huge low blow. Think about this: could a senile frail invalid have whooped DONALD FRIGGIN' TRUMP'S ass in 2 debates (woulda been 3 had the friggin' one not ducked so blatantly)? He's always been a quirky communicator with little filter, we all knew that.
And those cabinet picks and his whole Administration so far... reminds me of an old concept, supposedly from Islam, but maybe in other disciplines: instead of condemning someone for drinking from a filthy glass, you just sit next to them and quietly drink from a clean one, and then the contrast becomes obvious. So, with the new team, starting with Joltin' Jen in the Press Room, they're not wasting time criticizing the last crew so much as just hunkering down and putting their own thing into motion. And, again, the contrast (esp. after 4 years of Bozo's Big Top) is astounding and, like that drink of fresh water, refreshing.
Yeah, Biden wasn't my guy for the primary but in the general EFF YEAH I was going to vote for him, and my hand wasn't anywhere near my nose either.
