Even before the Debate of the Ages, I’d been joking about voting for “dead Biden” over lying-traitor-felon tRump. Biden’s debate shortfalls had me thinking this might be a shocking possibility, but with tRump proving his brain is fried and programmed to lie (e.g. post-birth abortion is not a “thing”… it’s murder), my position has not changed.
Even at Biden’s worst, he still conveyed that he stood for governing for the people, women’s rights and a better, stronger America. 78-year-old tRump, just three years younger than Biden, didn’t answer a question truthfully, claiming many Biden successes as his own and reiterating his “heads-I-win/tails-you-lose” stance on the outcome of the upcoming election. Neither of these old guys should be running, but the fact is that they are and only one will preserve our democracy: Biden!
The debate left me depressed… listening to the media’s reporting on Democrat pundits and mucky-mucks calling for Biden to step out of the race only made things worse. Names like Whitmer, Shapiro and Newsom were floated but none of them have significant national name recognition or decent favorability ratings at the moment. The only person polling well was Michelle Obama, someone as unlikely to run as Oprah! Hillary didn’t come up. Kamala Harris was barely mentioned as a contender at first — WTF! — yet she is the best choice for the job, not only because she’s capable but also because she is already tapped into campaign delegates and money.
But the bottom line is that a Democrat MUST win the 2024 election… ANY Democrat! With the Extreme Court’s disgusting decisions stripping rights, allowing “tips” (aka bribes), and creating an imperial presidency, tRump cannot be allowed to win. Sweep this Hitler-wannabe and Project 2025 into the dustbin of history.
Biden knows it’ll be tough going to win this race but he’s been down before and come back to win. And even if Biden’s health weakens before the election but his name’s on the ballot, VOTE FOR HIM! When he wins he becomes president-elect, and should he die — god forbid & knock on wood he doesn’t * * — the 20th Amendment says that the vice president-elect, Kamala Harris, shall be sworn in as president at the start of the new term.
This circumstance has not occurred in our history but it’s important to have a Democrat-led Congress in place on January 3rd so they are presiding when the Electoral College votes are delivered on January 6th. And put a call into the National Guard early to be prepared when the MAGAts show up.
Happy Birthday, America! Hope it’s not your last one.
