None of this feels right! [View all]

The chaos and division that is consuming democrats right now does not feel organic. It is tearing DU apart, reminiscent of the 2016 take down of DU. It is not helping our party. We were fairly united in purpose, and in our ticket, until that debate went off the rails. That seemed to turn into a catalyst for division, but who is driving it?

This is just my own feelings and observations, so flame me if you will, I don’t really care.

I suspect the billionaire dem donors who chose to abandon President Biden, despite the millions of primary votes he has received, based on a bad performance at a 90 minute debate. Are they courting other powerful dems to do their bidding? If this were so, it goes against our founders dream of a government of, for and by the people. It goes against Joe’s goal of building from the the bottom up and the middle out. It is just the same oligarch bullshit that the republicans have chosen to cave to.

I smell Putin. I smell Musk. I smell Thiel. I smell Netenyahu. I smell Banon and Tucker. It all stinks!

If prominent dems think it is worth abandoning the power of an incumbent President to support some unnamed and unproven alternative, then why can NONE OF THEM put forth a support worthy alternative to abandoning the will of the voters? It’s all just, “Biden need to drop out” without offering a bulletproof alternative. There is no bulletproof alternative…it’s all ratfucking!

I want to live in a democracy. If you’ve got a better plan (yeah, I’m looking at you Schiff!) show us your plan, or else SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT! Oh, and don’t even get me started on the horse-race, money-driven MSM!

Rant off
