Plus rumors continue to abound about Bloomberg and Warren dropping out. One thing I know for certain, all the Warren diehards (who are assholes that just screech because many were Bilary supporters) will blame those of us backing Sanders. I make no apologies for not supporting a lukewarm progressive, regardless of her “I have a plan for that” crap.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Establishment aka the DLC probably bribed the other worthless Centrists with cabinet spots to clear the way for Sen. Foot-in-Mouth. Orange Foolius may rant, make no sense but the favored candidate has numerous weaknesses the GOP will attack and succeed on. Plagiarism, falsehoods and a very non-progressive record going back to the Seventies. The nepotism involving his junkie son Hunter will be nothing compared to what the dirty tricks team the GOP has.
Again, the limousine liberals I deal with daily, namely one living in Switzerland; I will be to blame because I didn’t join them in marching off the cliff for their losing candidate. The same type of Democrat who specializes in losing but remains extremely wealthy. Trust me, Bilary isn’t hurting as she goes on her book tour (written by someone else) bitching and moaning about how she should be president and it’s everybody’s fault but hers.
Another brought up the musty old chestnut on why I must support the Republican Lite candidate. “Now is not the time for [insert the issue].”
My rebuttal goes like so. That line of crap has been used since the 1800s. It was not the time to address…
- Slavery
- Civil Rights
- Womens Suffrage
- The Environment (we’re out of road now)
- Gay/Trans Rights
- The Erosion of Labor Rights
- The Widening Wealth Gap
Do you know who else called bullshit on that litany. AOC! She defeated a 10-term, do-nothing Democratic Pelosi underling asshole whose children attend private school in the DC area. He was quite a “man of the people.” More like a man of K Street.
As Truman said:
Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time.
I’ve heard the counters about Sanders. Sure. I’m not thrilled about his age. I’m not onboard with all his positions. He is an old Boomer Lefty. At least he’s pushing for a better tomorrow and not Biden’s new slogan…
NO WE CAN’T.
It’s going to be a nasty while boring convention.
