More Stray Thoughts on the Hideous American Election

"Garbage"...? Quite a statement from a sitting president.

Given his regrettable cognitive impairment, Biden might not have intended to sabotage the Harris campaign.

But given his mean-spirited character (he is, after all, Genocide Joe), he might very well have intended to stab the backs of those who stabbed his. Consider them stabbed, Joe.

What if Kamala Harris were honest?

"I know the ambitions, the aspirations, the dreams that exist in our community. Ambitions to win the support of neocon Republicans, to stamp out, once and for all, the remnants of a Democratic left, to isolate the United States globally, to make ourselves hateful psychopaths to the rest of this planet. Aspirations to fuel proxy wars, to make countries fight and die for the sake of our own narcissistic self-interest, to provide cash and bombs for mass murder and genocide. Dreams that drive us to turn economic rivals into hated enemies, to clamp down on anti-war protests and freedom of speech, to disgust voters of all political inclinations, to wipe out the Democratic party for years to come.

"My plan is to build an opportunity for Western collapse and thermonuclear suicide. Let's burn together, all of us, for the joy of burning, for the ambitions, aspirations, and dreams of World War Three, of joyful human extinction."

If the Democrats had really considered Trump to be the danger they declare him to be, they would have allowed people to choose amongst delegates for a candidate most likely to beat him.

Instead, the DNC appointed a candidate of limited experience, limited intellect, limited empathy, limited vocabulary, limited rhetorical skill, limited appeal to wide sections of the American electorate, limited awareness of policy options, and above all, a candidate complicit with genocide. Genocide!

What's more, this appointed candidate has stumbled through a campaign that seems intent on winning over neocon Republicans, while driving away voters who have traditionally chosen Democrats.

If, in the end, Trump turns out be as dangerous as the Democrats maintain, then the Democrats, through their own stupidity or malice or smug over-confidence, will be remembered as a party that abandoned the American people. That will be their legacy.
