I watched Biden’s campaign announcement video. It was good and appropriately hit all the correct, familiar notes that got him elected in the first place. Although, I will say there was one missing, familiar topic that Democrats never seem to be able to hammer home, and that is SCOTUS. I don’t know how, when, where, or if dumbass Democrats will ever f***ing learn to make SCOTUS one of the central motivating factors in every f***ing election, from the presidency to the G.D. dog catcher. Granted, there are no imminent openings on the High Court that would shift the balance of power, but Thomas is old enough that during Biden’s current or next term, he could drop dead ala Scalia and needs to be replaced, which would be a terrific opportunity to substitute the most conservative justice with a raging liberal Biden appointee. One would think Democrats should make this argument a primary reason to vote Democratic. Of course, one would think! But this is the dumbass Democratic Party we’re talking about, so I expect nothing less than Democrats to kind of ignore the Court just like they have for the last 40 years. If they really want to emphasize saving America’s democracy, then Democrats should be laser-focused on SCOTUS and federal judges because they all seem to be the one branch of government completely immune from checks and balances. And, in particular, SCOTUS demonstrates they are literally above the law. Fan-f***ing-tastic!
Then we have Biden’s age. I will be the first to admit I think Biden is too old for just about anything, but it will never stop me from voting for him because his age certainly has not impeded his acumen and ability to do the job. Sure, compared to traitor trump Biden acts old and stiff, but unlike traitor trump, Biden is not a f***ing G.D. moron. Although, I will say the only aspect of his age that does stir my ire is that he’s been around long enough to remember when Democrats and RepubliKKKlans actually worked together. His age is detrimental in this way: It evinces he’s from a bygone era of bipartisanship governing. It’s that quaint memory of yesteryear comradery that no longer exists and to which Biden still clings that frustrates me. I’d prefer a younger and more rough-and-tumble leader, but we have Biden for now, and at least I know he won’t intentionally destroy the country, even though, at times, I feel his timidity might lead us to that. Now if only Progressives and Independents could get over is age. That is the real and terrifying question. Welcome to stupid America!
