Biden

Joe Biden first came to attention (for many of us) the first time he ran for President. He was caught plagiarizing and had to withdraw. Then there was the candidate he backed for the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas. And, for some reason, he trashed Anita Hill when she objected to sexual harassment. And so on. Joe supported our brainless attack on Iraq, which flipped around the entire Middle East. Today this leader is the somewhat reluctant choice of the corporate types who command the Democratic Party. People are supposed to vote for Joe, to make him the champion of western civilization. 

I think most progressives want to vote for Joe, given the alternative.

Biden is tied to the fossil fuel industries; and the use of oil, natural gas and coal are, scientists say, killing the plankton that create our oxygen. The planet may have to do without mammals in about 80 years. But vote for Biden.  (It's the economy, stupid.)

This morning Susan and I watched the Tara Reade interview on Amy Goodman's show. We watch Goodman about twice a month. Reade described in detail the sexual assault Biden made on her when she was a young woman on his staff. Women might want consider this interview. Reade will be ignored or trashed by our overlords, but she seems to be telling the truth.  

If Biden has, once again, to withdraw, the Corporate Democrats will replace him with another of his kind, probably Amy Klobishar.  The plankton may continue to die, but at least Klobischar will keep her fingers off the private parts of her staff.
