Biden Accepts Reality

Everything is going to be alright

The President supports Harris to lead the ticket!

President Biden announced just a few minutes ago that he was stepping away from the campaign for re-election. Do not fall victim to panic. We will be fine. We will win in November.

Biden declared his support for Kamala Harris as the nominee. But that can only be a recommendation. Over 3900 delegates must vote their desires. There might be a messy fight over the nomination. But soon, there will be a new leader ready to subdue the MAGA movement. We will all join in support.

This is not chaos. This is democracy. For most of American history, our presidential candidates were chosen at the convention and the real campaign began on Labor Day. We have time, we will be fine. Our newer primary system is better, for sure. More democratic, more directly from the people. But the delegates that will meet in August are our representatives. They are in those roles because they are well informed party leaders. They could be your neighbors.

Be proud that Democrats have a deep bench to choose from if Harris doesn’t become the candidate. Be proud that we have a party that is not enslaved to a power hungry self aggrandizing bigoted idiot.

With Biden’s age issue out of the way, the focus will now be on the unfitness of Trump, the fascism of Project 2025, the shape shifting teenager aching to be VP.

Trump will now be “THE OLD MAN WHO SPEAKS WORD SALAD NONSENSE!”

This is a powerful moment in history. In my letter to President Biden today, I suggested that he could make additional history by pardoning millions of prisoners convicted of minor victimless crimes - like drug addiction. He could issue hundreds of executive orders relative to the environment. Let the lawsuits begin! Tie up the Federalist Fascist Courts with endless good ideas…
