mikalcharles's JournalThe in fighting is going to destroy the Democrats chances for victory in November more than the choice of a candidate
What has been happening over the past two weeks is not a good look for the Democratic Party. I think Joe Biden should be given another week to finalize his decision and if he decides to stay in the race, well that is how the Party will move forward. No more crying in public, no more tears over down ballot races, no more running to media to whine about how terrible all this is. The energy of we the people will decide this election, and if Joe decides to stay in the race then he deserves our 110 percent support. This country owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Joe Biden. He navigated one of the darkest times in the history of this country coming out of Covid and an attempted coup, and four years of performative antics of his predecessor when the rest of the world was reeling in their assessment of the United States. If Joe Biden is holding a rally in your state, you need to go to that rally. If the rich donors who think they control the Democratic Party won't give money, then we all need to chip in more. We need to overwhelm the press by being all in for Joe Biden, if that is our choice. We need to turn Joe Biden into the People's Candidate. We need to show the world that we don't bow down to dictators, we don't bow down to the press, and we don't bow down to rich donors.
A point that doesn't get stressed enough
Is that the quality of the people that are elected to serve in Congress by the Republican Party over the past twenty five years has been on a steep decline. The buffoonery of the clapping just witnessed when Ted Cruz rose to challenge the electors from Arizona is evidence enough. The party which couldn't even come up with a party platform in 2020, that has no legislative agenda, that is incapable of being a ruling party is an albatross around the neck of these United States.
Let's not refer to this party as the Republican party
anymore. They are the Maga Party, a party that seeks to do away with the will of the majority to stay in power. The Republican party is dead.
This bullshit about the WHO is really getting under my skin
Look-the WHO doesn't have intelligence services. The United States does. There are numerous articles which document that US intelligence agencies knew in late November that there was a problem in Wuhan. If anything the United States should have informed the WHO about what it knew was going on. I'm so sick of this asshole getting away with shit.
When Trump says the United States has tested more people than any other nation
why doesn't someone point out that the reason we have to do so much testing is because we have so many cases because he screwed the pooch. Its really not something to brag about. It suggests failure, not success. I'd much rather live in a country without so many symptomatic people. (And we aren't even testing all of them.)
The Triumph of Bullshit
From Frankfurt's On Bullshit "Someone who lies and someone who tells the truth” are both responding to the facts. “The response of the one is guided by the authority of the truth, while the response of the other defies that authority and refuses to meet its demands. The BSer ignores these demands altogether… He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, BS is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
And this “Just as hot air is speech that has been emptied of all informative content, so excrement is matter from which everything nutritive has been removed.”
This country has had to deal with Republican Bullshit for decades. I think the Donald Trump should be referred to now as
the Bullshit President and the Republican Party as the Bullshit Party.
I know this has been said a thousand times here
But the press has to come up with another approach to this. Maybe get together and agree to follow each others questions by going after what Trump just said because the way it is now someone asks him a question and he lies then the hands all wave someone asks him a question and he lies the hands all wave someone asks him a question and he lies and the lies just pile up on the floor like a stinking pile of shit that everyone pretends isn't there...its just an embarrassment
