So many voters
want Biden to drop out of the race
due to
how he imploded
in the first presidential debate,
showing his age,
they say,
and that’s easy to understand.
But the contest between him and Trump
still stands,
and some folks
are indecisive
has to who they would vote for
which makes one wonder why these people can’t see
that our nation would be better off
if they went to the polls
and voted for Joe
whether he was comatose
or in hospice care
or on a life-support machine,
taking into consideration
that his opponent
is a lying demonic fiend
who wants to cause harm
to all that’s just and right,
his mind on the likes of
deporting immigrants
left and right,
willy-nilly like,
continuing denying women their human rights,
filling government positions
with yes-men and women
who want to please him
as he
acts out his fantasy
of being a king
to whom they owe their fealty,
acts that would gradually, metaphorically,
grind our democracy
into fine sand
left to blow in the wind,
bringing a noble experiment
of forming a more perfect Union
to an abrupt end.
Being indecisive as to who to vote for
in a situation such as the one we’re in
would be a transgression
against our own humanity.
RIGHT ON!
Agree, Hold hearly.
It makes you wonder where those naysayer Democrats were all year when
the work that our president accomplished was not heard by any of them.
I did not see them on any public station or platform shouting to the voters that the success of this administration, President and Kamala Harris, have accomplished was worthy to stand with their President. Did they just wake up and read the Project 25 and all of a sudden know that we are doomed unless we vote as you have so eloquently expressed?
There’s no question that Biden would be an infinitely better president than the con man he is running against. Given the questions about Biden’s apparently diminishing capacities (with which he would still be a far better president than Trump) I think the question has become whether he has the best chance of defeating Trump, or whether someone else, like Kamala, Gavin or Gretchen would be more likely to get the votes needed to win?
I agree with your comment Ernie… But I think that the elephant in the room is not how the people we know and love might vote; but the reality that Biden has waged a genocidal war against Palestine that’s earned him the name “Genocide Joe” among WOKE folks and young people everywhere. John Steard made the case strongly on Monday that we have urgent new information and that the dems need an open convention to find a stonger condidate. My friend Larry said this, “If Joe Biden’s declining mental and physical health concerns you (as it does me), I urge you to send an email or voicemail to your congressional representative and senators. You can find their contacts on the web.
I believe that defeating Donald Trump is important and that we need and deserve a younger and more vigorous Democratic candidate.”

As usual, so very well stated. Total agreement from where I sit.
