How did I miss this fantastic response? I suppose because there’s so much to consume, so many forums to participate in. And then there’s real day to day life. Thank you; appreciate the deep response and referrals to other smart people. Trying to be optimistic, but it’s more and more difficult. America, when she’s unwell, the globe in dire danger. And here we are...
Jon, Blown away with your writings, your hitting the nail on the head, your clear-headed assessment of where we are, what we’ve come from and the only way out. Found you via your comments embedded in Steve Schmidt’s equally critical writings. And now, I’m falling down the rabbit-hole of satisfaction, a waterfall of hydration for my deeply-parched, thirstier than hell throat -metaphor for my need to hear bare-bones intelligent, clear-headed critique of the toxic moment in time we are knee-deep in. I want to be optimistic, to feel you’re prescription for the Democratic Party --she expand herself joined by anti-MAGAt GOP forces, rise up to fully, forcefully and wholly defeat the fascist monster banging at our door-- is the solution, but I’m deeply concerned. Deeply. For ‘24 we’ve the wrong messenger. Joe Biden should and could have elegantly passed the baton, after offering himself as America’s “one-term savior, pulling her back from the brink amidst Covid and Trumpler,” a post-Trumpler hero, but he seems to have missed the point. Joe, truly a good man with the right stuff, though decay of age, his longtime inability to articulate, never mind forcefully articulate, to command we sit up and hear him, to vociferously orate at the masses, it is null and void. Joe should have stepped back, providing a silky smooth pathway to legitimate democratic primary event full of robust debate amongst a bench of highly qualified next gens: Gavin, Gretchen, Kamala, Pete B., Dean Phillips, plus legit GOP anti-MAGAt leaders - so much talent. Alas, unwritten, barely mentioned rule, the one where what is best for the nation yields to polite acquiescence not to step before an incumbent POTUS. This is our plight. This ridiculousness will very well be the hammer in the final nail in democracy’s coffin. I’m pissed, I’m worried, I’m raging at the plight, but if it’s Joe, he has my vote, even if he’s in a coma. Every dem from dog catcher to POTUS has my vote over any R - ever. I will never forgive them for what they’ve brought to our doorstop.
