President Biden Drops Out and Endorses VPOTUS Harris

[Mandelbrot Slapper]

There is no viable anti-genocide presidential candidate. Vote harm reduction for prez, lobby your senator and congresscritter, and engage in direct action when and where you are able to make opportunities. It's not either or.

I agree with the above assessment of our current situation.

TSF and his Republicult™ are an existential threat to democracy, and our republic.

Kamala Harris is not an existential threat to either democracy, or our republic. And, Kamala Harris may, or may not, continue our government's decades old policy of unconditional support for the government of Israel.

So, please do follow Q. G. Pennyworth's advice.

There is a viable anti genocide candidate. It's Jill Stein. But no one will vote for her because apparently Seppos are fond of self fulfilling prophecies. So they say "She can't possibly win" & ensure they're correct by not voting third party ever.

Btw: Jill Stein is Jewish but she's now not being defamed as an anti-vaxxer for saying maybe jailing parents who don't want tbheir kids vaccinated is a bad idea. No, now she's a "self-hating Jew."

Which is apparently the fashionable way to describe anyone who heeded Marek Edelman's words when he wa asked why he did not emigrate ot Israel after having led the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, survived a concentration camp & retirned to Poland to oppose the Soviets.

"To be a Jew means to always be on the side of the oppressed & not the oppressors."

Yes, that's exactly my point.  We've got two options, both of which support genocide, to the point of arming the folks committing it, and sending troops to help make it happen.

I gotta ask, who promised you good choices?

SHE'S A SHIT CANDIDATE THAT CAN'T EVEN GROW HER PARTY DESPITE RUNNING FOR THREE TIMES. SHE'S GONNA BE AS INCOMPETENT AS THE DEMS.

That just about sums it up.

So apparently FEMA is running out of money, and the Republicans refuse to reconvene congress to approve more funds for it.  I am not surprised Biden doesn't remember that he can reapportion the military budget for emergencies, he's a very old man, but I'd have thought at least one of his advisors would remember.

"An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance."

We all just saw this to be true.

For what it's worth, the internet currently attributes this quote to David Lee Roth. But, it was actually made famous back in the early 70s by Laurence J. Peter of The Peter Principle fame.

And, it's now officially finger pointing time!

"Pelosi blames Biden for election loss as finger pointing intensifies"

As per this BBC article:

"Former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said Democrats might have fared better in Tuesday's election if President Joe Biden had exited the race sooner.

Pelosi - one of the most powerful politicians in Washington - told the New York Times that "had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race".

Her remarks are the latest finger pointing from Democrats after the party lost hold of the White House and potentially both chambers of Congress on Tuesday.

Pelosi is widely reported to have led the Democrats' push to oust Biden, who ended up leaving the race at the end of July after weeks of pressure following a poor debate performance against Donald Trump."

In general, I respect former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But, knowing what I know now, I ain't buying her argument. For that to happen, she would have to convince me that she would not have both immediately endorsed, and personally campaigned for her fellow Californian politician, Kamala Harris, for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.

And, further along in this article:

"Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who ran for president as a Democrat in 2016 and 2020, accused the party in a lengthy statement of abandoning working people.

"While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change," he wrote. "And they're right."

He argued Democrats probably wouldn't learn from the election outcome."

Now, I don't believe the Democratic Party has actually abandoned working people. I believe it's more a case of them not knowing who working people really are these days.

But, I do believe Senator Sanders is right when he argued that Democrats probably wouldn't learn from the election outcome.

Re: Bernie Comment
Not to stroke Sleepy Joe off, but hasn't he been one of the most pro union presidents in a while? In fact, I remember the Dems spending around 30 billion dollars bailing out pension funds for the teamster union, only for them to not give any endorsements for either candidate. [AVGN voice] What were they thinking?

I had forgotten all about the Teamsters' Pension Fund bailout, and I had to look up what happened there to jog my memory. But, you're right, Joe Biden has been one of the most pro-union president in a while. And, yes, the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters definitely, and intentionally, bit the hand that fed them.

And, that's just a part of what prompted me to write, "I believe it's more a case of them [The Democratic Party's leadership] not knowing who working people really are these days."

I know a number of labor union, and retired former labor union, members who only cash(ed) a decent paycheck every week because they belong(ed) to strong labor unions, but are still extremely proud, anti-union MAGAts. I don't know the actual statistics, but I have no reason to believe that the people I know personally are outliers.

I'll be pro-union until I die but man it sucks that the working class in America is the perfect example you'll find of the "lumpenproletariat." And it doesn't feel like we'll ever escape that reality unless serious reforms are made in the education system.
