Here's my rant in the WAPO this morning on replacing LBJ er Biden. :) Biden will be out by 4th of July.
My two cents and 50 years of voting Dem, I just have to say we were forced to take Hubert Humphrey in 1968 when LBJ did the right thing and left the campaign
Bobby Kennedy was murdered, and Gene McCarthy didn't have enough support to stop the Viet Nam war.
But we were in the streets to stop the war anyways. And this matters.
You can't do human politics all online. Go talk with 5 friends today and just ask them Who are you voting for when Biden reads the tea leaves this week?
Let's open the campaign up to the five governors and VP Harris.
Then have an actual convention that the DNC can't control.
I'm not voting for Biden anymore.
I'm asking you fellow American to get out and speak up for who you want to replace him that fights Turnip and the fascists.
The closest I've come to a perfect candidate is Gretchen Whitmer. Gov. Whitmer has flipped Michigan for red to blue and stayed true to her working class Michigander roots.
She and Senator Warnock are the kind of dynamic team we need. Plus they can dance circles around the right wingers, who are ultimately only a rump group 29% of the country is Republican. But they have jet fueled billionaires behind them.
We have a deep bench, and don't have to go with the Humphrey only choice.
In fact there is nothing but upside if we have a 50 something Dem run against Turnip.
1/3 of all the Trumpers could be voting Democratic ticket top to bottom if people are respected and treated with dignity.
But this will require the Democratic richy rich crowd to stop being snobs and looking for politics that serves the top 20% of Americans.
Expand the base by fighting for public policies like federal job guarantee, build social housing, abolish poverty. And stop the wars. We need to spend a trillion a year currently on military on restoring our ecosystems and cooling our planet, doing more with less.
