The US talks about human rights and turns little girls into charcoal, somewhere, every day. The Dimmercranks write checks for the bombs and paint gay pride slogans on the nosecones.
“Exalted Cyclops” is the funniest thing I’ve read this week, except for the notion that Democrats are slowly edging right. Brother, the 2023 Democrat Party is miles to the right of the 1973 Republican Party, and that’s been going on every day of these fifty years. What do you think has pushed the formerly bi-coastal mainstream pro-business Repugnacogs into goofball stupid wingnut land? They’d have to leapfrog over Democrats to get anywhere near the political center of the country.
I will say that I hope you're wrong, Rohn, because while I can hold my nose and vote for Biden to prevent President Trump, Take 2!? I won't vote for Joe Manchin, and I think neither will a LOT of Democrats who see him as a Republican in a DINO costume.
I realize there's not enough difference between the two for you to vote for either (or for Trump), but I believe Biden is the better choice all around. Not HUGELY better, but...better than that Squalling Manbaby or Two-Faced Other Joe being put in charge.
Of course, I'm in my Sixties and White, so...duh, of course the difference to me would be significant! You've done a really good job of helping me and others understand why the difference between Manchin and Trump wouldn't even be noticeable to you, and the difference between Biden and Trump...isn't really any better for Black people.
I wish I could say differently, but considering that Biden's solution to police violence against Blacks was—to give the police more money in the name of "reform"? Because that's worked so well before....
That comment is, once again, proof positive that LookingNWords has the smartest, most intellectually honest readers in the substack universe. Very astute and honest and I appreciate both.
Disclosure: 76 year old white woman speaking. Biden, some believe, has done more for the 47% than anyone since FDR. His age, experience, and statesmanship is exactly what we need until the young and non-whites gain position in DC. Look what happens when third parties take votes: Bush, Bush, trump. Racist, oligarchic Supreme Court, wacky House, infiltration of schools, police, local government, etc. with evil. After a second term, we will, hopefully, be powerful enough to have more effect. Before you write me off, if tempted, know that I marched in “Take Back the Night” events and for the ERA. Since then, I have lost m
My, the temperature of the water we’re in seems to be rising.
The pot of water has always been simmering; it is now approaching a rolling boil and we are all frogs in it.

That which is understood, needn't be expounded upon.

I understand, and I appreciate your comment.
