Far too many of our so-called “leaders” from both branches of the Money Party think our rights are nice words in concept, but we sure shouldn’t take them to heart. Exactly how did Bam Bam and Ol’ Joe react to Occupy Wall Street?
remember last week where Rall had his iron clad rationale? He claimed he would consider voting for Biden if he ever apologized for “murdering” one million Iraqis. That was rich considering how he lambasted Biden for numerous other reasons prior to coming up with that excuse. Rall also claimed he opposed Trump, leaving me to wonder how such a sentiment would be illustrated. Well, here it is. And wouldn’t you know it? it’s still Biden’s fault. If that wasn’t pathetic enough, Rall plumbs the depths of irony in the man’s comment. Yes Mr. Rall, that is exactly right; and you are doing nothing. You are preaching doing nothing. And taken as a whole, this comic is noting more than a bland statement about those egregious tactics. And by the way, what does it matter to you if Trump cancels the election. You already think the system is terrible and planned not to oust Trump.
If trump is reelected Amy Barrett and at least one other(Breyer’s seat)ultra-conservative will be on the Supreme Court for the next 30+ years. If trump is reelected the EPA will be abolished and Lake Erie will be on fire again.
When Ted was writing about his mother’s alzheimer’s, I found it sad and informative – but real-life and perhaps helpful for others experiencing similar circumstances with their own parents. . . but this political crap – Ted is better than that and hopefully will soon show his true worth !!
In this fallen world, we will always have to choose between the lesser of two evils. That doesn’t mean the choice is nugatory. Biden’s evil is mixed with some good, Trump’s evil is evil pretty much top to bottom, all the way through. Vote for Biden, and be prepared to protest some of what he does. We need a restored and reformed political democracy and we need economic democracy as well.
At least Biden didn’t turn around and vote to continue to fund the same agencies that Trump is using for his brownshirt brigade, which is what the Democrats in Congress did. Of course, I don’t doubt he would have if he were still a senator.
Biden was not my first choice for the nominee, nor my second, and not even my third. Probably I would have gone for Warren first, Booker second, and Sanders third. But that’s all water under the bridge. The Democratic party (of which I am not a member) made its decision, in whatever sausage-making way they did it, and that’s the reality we have to deal with. You can run your own fantasy election in your head or with your friends, but the real contest is Biden versus Trump, and you have to make a choice. This is not a good time to stand on the sidelines and make irrelevant snide remarks about the players. Meanwhile, I notice that a number of prominent conservatives have announced that they will vote for Biden. Rall will say that proves how bad Biden is, and he’s got a point. But it also gives hope that Biden will get the votes of a lot of other people who don’t ordinarily vote for a Democrat. We need a big win, and if George Will is willing to help make that big win, I won’t turn down his vote. I’m not sure a more left Democrat would get Will’s vote.
It’s too late for the president come 2021 to be anyone other than Biden or Trump. But you have a say in which one it will be.
If you like, figure who you’d want to be president come 2025; vote for the candidate this year who is more likely make that happen. If you like, figure who you’d want to be president come 2041; vote for the candidate this year who is more likely make that happen. Bear in mind that the elections in 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036 and 2040 will most likely be determined by the Center, whether the Center is to the Left or to the Right of where it currently lies.
Bernie Sanders will never be president. AOC, on the other hand, might someday be president. But a lot needs to happen before she’ll have a chance.
Dodger’s fans in the 50’s would always proclaim Wait ’Till Next Year after their team would lose at the end of the season. Rall and others on the left are proclaiming Wait ’Till Next Election and then the American people will be sick of racist/reactionary republicans and elect a progressive Democratic. While the Dodgers were able to win a World Series in 1955 the Democrats have lost every Next Election against second term Nixon,Reagan,Bush and that losing trend will continue if they nominate a progressive that would satisfy Rall in 2024.
Yes. Biden didn’t lift a finger of support to those protesting during the Civil Rights movement so it only makes sense he continues his status quo beliefs as to how he feels about the current movement for police and justice reform. My problem is with the Black Liberals that find this acceptable withing their party; especially, the CBC that endorsed him over Sanders.
By golly gum, you’re right, Mr. Rall! I’m not voting for Biden, ‘cause he’s not good enough. I’m voting for Ralph Nader or Jill Stein or writing in Bernie or the United Holy People’s Unicorn! That’ll show ’em!
I was actually startled when i started to read this—“Spineless ’I’m better than you’ Ted is going to say something NEGATIVE about TRUMP?!” but course he didn’t. You’d think he’d be against the undeclared martial law Trump has instituted, but NAH, Teddy Bear has another moral purity test that he only applies to liberals.Keep being a Good German, Ted.

When the Rump deployed goons to beat civilians, Mr Rall attacked Biden. How are those children in cages doing Mr. Rall?

That TV screen in the corner is the scariest part. I wonder if Democratic leaders will go along with that, too.
