After weeks of Biden being told (mostly by the media) to stand down after the debate debacle, and after weeks of refusing to do so… well. Yeah, the election has taken an interesting turn that I’m not sure it really needed, it’s already sufficiently interesting… still, when the donors are threatening to withhold the cash if you don’t fall on your sword, I don’t suppose that leaves you with many options, does it.
Anyway, we now have the prospect of President Kamala Harris in November (not yet set in stone, the convention still has to make it official and there may be other contenders), which, if nothing else, is going to force the New York Times to change its recent tack, which has largely consisted of opinion pieces trying to suck up to Trump by going on about Biden being too old and out of it (as if Trump is neither of those things); now that the evident Democrat contender is nearly two decades younger than the other guy (who is now the oldest presidential candidate ever), they can’t talk about her age in the way they did about Biden’s. Just her gender and her ethnicity (not only is she mixed-race, she’s part Jamaican part Indian! She’s not even part white! How will Nick Fuentes ever cope?), which I’m sure will be enough for the Right once they get over the initial “shit, we have to attack her now instead of the old prick”…
Why do I feel like Will’s mother wishes she could say the same thing about herself? Also, the stepchildren she inherited from her husband don’t exist, apparently? Are kids not real if you didn’t give birth to them? But, frankly, I’m more worried by the Left’s response…
…cos I can see that happening too. I mean, I’m absolutely not a Biden fan and the US’ support for Israel in recent times has been obviously abhorrent, but… the alternative is Trump. People know this. And they’d still vote against Biden. The idea that it might be more important to get the Democrats back in first and THEN hammer them about things like Israel once we’re secure against the cult threat doesn’t seem to occur to them. Trump gets in, things just escalate, and the cult won’t give a fuck about your moral outrage. STOP IT.
Anyway—for better or worse they’ve finally shat and got off the pot, so maybe, just maybe, the Democrats can start putting an effort into actually winning this election. I just hope this is the trick that does it for them after all the discourse…
