politics feh!
I hate politics. I hate politics even more because they are so important these days it seems like I can’t do nothing or just ignore them. The fate of the world — literally — hangs in the balance.
Fucking politics.
So Joe Biden, who’s the most honorable president since Jimmy Carter and also impressive in that he just ignores the craziness and just keeps presidenting and accomplishing things like roads and unions and lowering drug prices and bringing back jobs and important things like making sure the things this country depends on like medicine and microchips are made here in the US and getting vaccines to people and rebuilding a crisis team to address national pandemics while the “press” keeps going apeship for clickbait it makes up on the fly (New York Times, your “Gray Lady” days are so gone you are clearly “Orange Lady” now) just outmaneuvered the RNC and a problematic contingent in his own party (looking at you Pelosi and Obama) and the Hollywood elite that feel way too important (looking at you George Clooney and Rob Reiner) by stepping down as the Democratic incumbent candidate — after the RNC convention named Trump as the Republican candidate — and endorsing Kamala Harris as Biden’s successor. On a Sunday.
Ooh la la!
The part of me that still has a sense of humor about all this is really entertained by-the-way imagining the tech-bro-raised-in-South-Africa-white-boy-boarding-school-boys meltdown going down right now (side eyes at Elon Musk and Peter Thiel). But I digress.
Kamala Harris just raised over 50 million dollars on Act Blue in under 12 hours with Biden’s endorsement and it’s going to be really hard for the DNC to stop her. Which the Democratic National Convention would probably try to do if it hadn’t just been out maneuvered by Biden.
Meanwhile, the press, which has previously been going to town on Biden, has just started going over everything he has accomplished, building roads, building jobs, bringing jobs back, supporting unions, forcing pharma to drop unconscionable prices for life saving drugs like insulin, bringing people of color and women into the political forum, in the Cabinet and on the Supreme Court, combating the overthrow of Roe vs Wade and standing up for women’s reproductive rights and bodily autonomy — you know, supporting the American people and minorities and women? The press that has been swatting down Biden for three and a half years but now is suddenly looking at his track record. Not even taking into account he somehow forced fucking Mike Johnson to give up a months long blockade against aid to Ukraine (and how Biden did that is a mystery to me but he knows how government works here and just waited them out and then pounced and made it happen). And continuing support for Israel despite unhinged marches, sit ins, and riots in the streets and on campuses by insanely confused and compromised American youth (and press) supporting the fucking Houthis. What the fuck, TikTok youth? And Press?
(Also, all you Israelis on Twitter endorsing the Cheetoh? That fucker killed one million Americans and will hand off every single piece of intelligence the US has on Israel to the Cheetoh’s buddy Putin, who will hand it to Putin’s Iran, Houthi and Hammas buddies, so maybe back the fuck up on that Cheetoh joy there, sports fans.)
Watching everything going down and really admiring Biden’s move there Sunday. The end result of that is, the only person the Democratic National Committee peeps could put on the ticket at this point to replace Harris would be (drum roll!) Joe Biden.
Check Mate, Mother Fuckers.
Unless you’re looking for civil war. That could happen. If you try one more time to force a political candidate down the throats of Democrat voters they just can’t back and the Cheetoh wins because of it and splits the armed forces in half in a fight.
Clooney could weather civil war, he could sit it out in his castle in Italy with his Hammas loving freak bride.
The rest of us? I don’t want to sword fight Bikini Chewbacca.
Choose wisely, DNC.
