General Discussion

I guess I'll finally put in my 2 cents after a month of shock, anger and depression over the Harris/Walz defeat that was apparently everyone's fault but the DNC and its benefactors in Hollywood.

I, along with many friends and family members, are disgusted at the despicable treatment of Joe Biden. How quickly and unabashedly backs and support turned away from a true statesman and champion of core democratic values such as human rights, women's rights, unwavering and bold union support, green job creation, the Covid recovery and the list goes on ad infinitum of the significant progress Joe forged for us.

Although we, as a country (and in particular as democrats) certainly did not deserve this defeat, deep deep down I hope Joe feels vindicated. The greatest loss we suffered was the loss of a fine and just president who cares about all of us. We lost this election due to Citizens United. Plain and simple. Our CU bandits reside in Hollywood not Wall Street but are equally dangerous.

I'm so very proud of Joe for saving his son. And Jill's response yesterday was a small bit of satisfaction for me and others devastated by the candidate switcheroo wrought upon our party by the corporate wing of our beloved Democrat party.

And to the pundits and incumbents on their fainting couches crying foul: nobody cares what you think about this or anything else after what your big glamorous money did to destroy our President and hand our country over to a magalomaniac. And yes I spelled it wrong on purpose!!

As for me, while the sadness and sick feelings continue, I intend to focus my efforts down ballot. Way down ballot. Besides voting each two years I think this is the best place to seek out and make substantive change.

Last, very grateful for DU. I don't post much so now is the perfect time to say thank you all.

Slava UKRAINI!!!
