The threat to wreck the economy and the blame game is tedious, probably won’t happen but if it did it would really turn up the heat on an already hot campaign. Biden is too old, he can't unite the ununitable. Trump will be in jail because he can’t stop implicating himself. DeSantis is full out fascist. America will never accept what he’s doing to Florida. Utter insanity. I’m predicting the 4th ranked person after them wins. Not Pence, anything but that fake pius Pence. Not Haley, that fake man. Ramaswamy is good, anyone who writes a senior thesis on the ethical questions raised by creating human-animal chimeras has my vote. Actually I'd hate him too.
I don't care if Marianne Williamson can't win, she's looking pretty good for 70 years old. A socialist Jewish woman has my vote. In the primary anyway. Anyone who sings Gershwin standards in a nightclub has my vote. No democrats are challenging Biden, so there is no 4th candidate. This year, like every year, you vote against the most repugnant choice. The lesser weevil.
The idea that Biden isn’t doing badly doesn’t contradict the perception that he isn’t doing well. But he is doing well. (Source)
I don't think Biden is too old, his underlings are young enough and the president is really just a ceremonial figure, a salesman and a target for the opposition. It's time to get some distracting culture wars going so the conservatives can't see how well the government is run. Conservatives don't like that to happen, people get used to good government and start to expect things, raise the standard.
Conservatives look at history and conclude humans are evil and it's better to fight evil without the help of the government because it will be infected with evil itself and pretend it's not, but it has to be because conservatives believe in manly doing nothing on the federal level, though lately on the state level they're all about curbing rights. I don't care whether you hate government on the local, state or federal level, but the roads you drive on, the fire people, the garbage being hauled away and schools they send the poor kids to are all done for the benefit of society, and to somehow not see positive governmental interventions is the kind of myopia I'm looking for in my next wife.
There may actually be a bottom for Republican corruption and they found it in the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. And what is that bottom?
"Investigators stated the evidence they uncovered shows multiple violations of the law and Paxton’s oath of office. They include: Gift to a public servant, abuse of official capacity, misuse of official information, and retaliation and official oppression. Some of the violations carry jail time." (source)
As families move out of Florida, you wonder if DeSantis is elected president, where they will move? You've got a kind of authoritarian purge from state to state. Supposedly in Idaho pregnant woman can't leave the state. We can see now that states can be gamed more easily to create conservative outcomes. It's not really a philosophical repugnance about federalism, it's more the desire to fight certain culture wars to distract from class war.
I wrote this 5/25/23, and on 6/19/23 "voters think Trump is a criminal, Biden is too old and DeSantis is a fascist" Independent. I guess it's kind of obvious. In those three choices between old, criminal and fascist, I choose old.
