Democrats

I'd vote for wilted lettuce over the pedophile felon rapist insurrectionist, state secret selling criminal Trump.

The history of Lyndon Johnson stepping aside wasn't good. America likes to get to know candidates over time. It takes a while to embody presidentiality to the public. The Vietnam War was a horrible chapter in American history, what the Vietnamese call the American War of Aggression. Circumstances are different. Nixon would actually be considered left wing in our current scale of left and right in this country. That's why when the shit hit the fan, the republicans didn't all line up regardless and prostrate in loyalty, like they do against Trump. The right is infatuated with rule breaking strong men. The felon Trump has gone right past shattering left wing norms into actual grift and crime, that maybe his best skill is evading accountability. His run for president is about avoiding justice. 

People worry we're criminalizing politics. Not so. It's accountability. We have a legislature to make the laws. When the democrats flip both houses in the next election, we're going to see some sane legislating. Republicans are about obstruction, and holding the space to do nothing. Not sure how you envision that as being a life's work, but the usual villains on the right can put that on their tombstones. "I obstructed the left's vision of trying to prevent murder."

Trump's inaction on Covid killed hundreds of thousands. I'm against murder through inaction. Right wing can posture all they want, but at it's core is inaction. Avoiding governmental interventions to save lives. It's not let them eat cake. It's let them die. 

It's possible to switch in a new vice president if you're so cynical to think America can't handle a black female president. Republicans can say, "I'm not against blacks or women, but just not this one." Yea, OK. I'm not buying that. Part of why Trump is wildly popular on the right is his white supremacist tropes. 

All these options discussed by the swerving right media, like the New York Times and CNN, isn't really the way to discuss things. 

I saw someone criticize Stephanopoulos for anticipating right wing questions, but the left is about expanded perspectives and not getting insecure with questions. Every inch of the discussion is contested and it's really hard to see past the oligarchy owned media's blarney. 

That democrats don't fall in line like the simp Rafael Edward Cruz, after what Voldemort said about his wife, I don't think is a vice, it's a virtue. We can still discuss on the left. Right and left discussion died the day the right embraced the might makes right attitude. I've lost a lot of fake friends, which is a good thing. You want hyper partisan times, you got it. You think we're over reacting to the Supreme court decisions, I say they're an illegitimate court, and need to be impeached. That's what this next election is about, impeaching this illegitimate court. A vote for Trump is to say that court isn't the worst court ever. 

In the end it's all obfuscation, the media oligarchy wants lower taxes even if America burns.  After getting away with crime, Trump's big policy is lower taxes on the obscenely rich. Wake up. You're not rich, so Biden might even lower your taxes more than Trump. He’s empowered the IRS to collect taxes, reversing what Trump did.

The funny thing is that Republicans mostly go into office to not do things, they're against federal interventions, and they see interventions as messy and the unintended consequences. So why wouldn't they mind a doddering old man as president, it's that kind of president that they like, ineffective, confused, and not really doing anything. I’ve seen a book about how the president is always nerfed.
