Chauncey DeVega of Salon writes, “Biden’s speech was resolute, sometimes eloquent. But the compromise he imagines is just surrendering to fascism. … My greatest worry about Biden is simple: America needs a fighting champion if its democracy is to be saved. To this point, as this week’s State of the Union address made clear once again, he does not appear to be up to that challenge. … Biden repeatedly spoke of the need to ‘unify’ Democrats and Republicans. That means seeking ‘unity’ with those who actively tried to nullify the 2020 election and supported a violent coup to prevent him from becoming president. Moreover, the Republican fascists have in no way ended their campaign to end American democracy and terminate Biden’s presidency. … But in believing that is still true, Biden has committed a grievous error: Today’s Republican Party and ‘conservative’ movement comprise a revolutionary force, which seeks to destroy American democracy and replace it with fascism or some other form of authoritarianism. When Biden speaks of ‘unity’ or ‘compromise’ with the Republicans he is giving aid and comfort to the neofascist movement — if not surrendering to it altogether.”
I will not criticize a wartime president, but I’ll let DeVega speak for me. This is why I repeatedly say America is doomed! Dumbass Democrats are too weak and clueless to the danger facing America’s democracy. Welcome to stupid America. I’m not wrong about this! Mark my words!
