I’ve mostly avoided talking about the Courtier Press and Republican-created nonsense about whether Joe Biden should terminate his candidacy. Democrats have been prone to being provoked into hysteria by anything the MSM wants to keep going for more than 24 hours seemingly forever. Anyone remember when the entire beltway press was breathless with the expectation Hillary Clinton was about to drop dead at a podium somewhere? How about Katie Hill, drummed out of Congress because she likes her CONSENSUAL sexual relationships a little on the spicy side? Al Franken, deprived of his Senate seat based on an obvious setup using photos which were part of a USO tour which was intended to be rather burlesque in theme if not dress? John Kerry, who was abandoned by the whole party as his heroism was slandered, 4 years after GWB rode into the WH on stolen valor? Bill Clinton, who was impeached for very similar behavior to that of nearly every House impeachment manager? Oh, and the Speaker of the House at the time, Newt Gingrich, was raking money into his pockets after driving Tom Foley out for picking a twenty off the ground and sticking it in his pocket by comparison.
At the same time, I’ve been deeply suspicious of the donor class of the Democratic Party along with the Corporate Democrats whose seats and loyalty they buy. After years of getting us all into the mindset of voting blue no matter who, what sort of Presidential candidate are they trying to replace? Only the most functionally liberal President we’ve had in 2 generations. The guy who’s supporting union rights, initiating antitrust action, forgiving student loans, ramping up decarbonization of the economy, increasing the incomes of regular Americans in multiple ways, promising to raise taxes on the rich, and quite a bit more.
The billionaires are not our friends. They’re showing it now, as they’re perfectly willing to sell us into fascism if to avoid slowing their drive to accumulate every last bit of wealth into their own hands.
Is Biden a centrist by nature and history? Sure. Is he as perfect a President as I’d wish? Ask the refugee population of Palestine. I, however, recognize what he is doing that is right and this of all times is no time to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
It appears my suspicions on this aren’t wrong. A few voices in a position to know are expressing similar sentiments. AOC is one of them.
“I’m here to tell you that a huge amount of the donor class and a huge amount of these elites and a huge amount of these folks in these rooms that I see that are pushing for President Biden to not be the nominee also are not interested in seeing the Vice President being the nominee,”
