But it’s been 9 freaking years with Trump. I’m so sick of him. He’s a fascist, a monster. He has the character of an MC at a wet t-shirt contest. He makes me nauseous.
If he wins, I’m done. I don’t want to read, think, or talk about him. Nothing. I’ve had it.
Remember when Bush/Cheney were the unholy evil and the 100K people in FL who voted for Nader were the devil (never mind the 300K DEMOCRATS who voted for Bush - it's never their fault!) deserved to be thrown into a lake of fire?
Weird how those same people are now saying that the Cheneys (since GWB had already been rehabilitated because he and Michelle shared candy) are the ones we should vote for.
There will never be a good candidate for president in the Democratic Party of people support Harris. Voting for the leader evil has gotten us here. Why keep doing something that never, ever, ever, ever works?
Why not try voting for someone who doesn't aspire to be a war criminal?
I have one priority because it represents the complete negation of the foundation of the US in liberty and justice for all. Zionism must be defeated in American politics and this means the defeat of wealth in American politics, Zionism being exhibit 1. Could there be a greater challenge with less chance of success? No. Nevertheless the effort must be made and this includes standing up to the phony charge of antisemitism, phony because 1) Zionism is not Judaism but has hijacked it and 2) many American Jews are disgusted and revolted by what Israel is about and are stating openly that they are anti-Zionist (Jewish Voice for Peace). I voted for Jill Stein because there is no other choice for liberty and justice for all.
Courage is required to stand with the benighted pro-Palestinian protesters as they face the suppression of our freedom of speech brought about by wealthy Zionist donors demanding universities crack down on any protests against the Zionist slaughter with a 100% success rate.
Without movement against Zionist/Israeli control of our political system, the American Experiment is over with the tiny tail of Israel wagging the mighty dog of the US (there are 40 Americans for each Israeli). This control is purely from the power of incredible disposable wealth, set free by the Supreme Court and obvious to all now (and for some time) as slaughter gets full US support with funding, weaponry and diplomatic cover in the UN.
It should be openly stated because it is undeniable, that President Biden is a traitor as is Anthony Blinken along with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and on down the list of cheerleaders for Israel in Congress, the military, the intelligence services and state/local government. Yes, traitors, along with any other Americans who say they are Zionists because it is impossible to be for ethnic superiority and cleansing while also claiming to be for liberty and justice for all. It is outrageous that Biden could declare himself a Zionist and there was not even a whimper from MSM or any Democrat or Republican that I know of. Anyone who knows American history will marvel at the fear and frenzy once produced by Joe McCarthy about communists in American government when the instances were few and nothing compared to the full infusion of Zionism today by people who proudly proclaim their support for Israel as if there were no hypocrisy involved.
I did not recite the Pledge of Allegiance in grammar school for nothing. I love this country and have seen it taken over by a tiny foreign power, now undeniable with both Harris and Trump all-in for Zionism.
Stand with the Pledge, not with Israel. Stand with the freedom and full citizenship of all American Jews because they are equal citizens, not for the extermination of a native people under the clearly false claim that Israel is the only safe place for Jews and that Palestinians are sub-humans to be expelled/exterminated with enthusiasm (see IDF videos). Zionism is a fanaticism as surely as was National Socialism and we are seeing the same results - the refusal to see all human beings as of equal worth. Slaughter is the inevitable result. Americans fought and died to end Nazism, now we are all in for Zionism. Wake up!
Throw off the deadly grip of Zionism and don't be shy about it. Boldness and courage are needed, not fear of what the neighbors would think. Who must lead this effort? It must be retirees who are free of the danger of being fired or destroyed on social media by Zionists ready to suppress anti-Zionism directly at every level of management or by non-Zionists in fear of Zionists at higher levels of management in business, education and government. The infiltration is complete. Time to act in the face of what appear to be impossible odds against success.
Thanks Ryan for that great overview of the state of play in this election. Because of the interdependence of world economies, particularly in the "western bloc", we outside watch US elections closely. Just one of many issues of real concern is "Over 4 years, the Trump administration dismantled major climate policies and rolled back many more rules governing clean air, water, wildlife and toxic chemicals." (NYT 20 Jan 202). I think Biden reinstated some, but not all. Trump's anti regulation, anti climate change, anti govt mindset is a wrecking ball.
The new economic correspondent sounds great. Your .. "The one percent works very hard to mystify the story of the economy" is so true.
The Dems and the country would have been in a better situation if Trump had beaten Biden in 2020. Four more years of Trump might have been stressful, but we'd have survived the storm and lame duck Trump would be out of the picture with no obvious successor. Meanwhile, the Dems, with no Trump to run against, could have spent the four years rebuilding their working and middle-class base and preparing, cultivating one or more truly qualified and inspiring candidates and looking forward to a solid and durable victory over a thoroughly discredited and Trumpless GOP. Instead, as Ryan explains, the future is indeed bleak, both for the Dems and for the nation.
Thank you for this analysis. I respect that you did not try to sway voters one way or another, but presented facts as you saw them. I agree with your predictions and in a way, and I know this was not your intent, but I see a Trump presidency as potentially being more beneficial to anti-war activists, like me. We will see.
This almost sounds like an argument for "elect Trump and give the country a giant BM." I could ALMOST buy in, but then we'd have to listen to him pontificate and preen ... and we'd get stuck with that little weasel Vance. Ugh. We're doomed either way. The only good news is that we deserve to be. This country has it coming to it.
I felt compelled to pay for this site because of your Gaza coverage. Stuff like this is a bonus. You’re doing the work we all need. Thank you.
I love you guys.

Please, god. Let us be free of the disease.
You won't have any choice of ignoring him if he wins
And if you insist on trying to you'll be complicit in enabling his evil works by not offering resistance

NYT article quoted above. Should be 20 Jan 2021. Typing on phone, glasses, but yippee, no paywall.

I underestimated you bigtime when you first emerged on the scene. I was dead wrong. It's rare. But it happens. Best, KWB.
Thank you for hiring Jessica Burbank. She’s terrific.
Congratulations re Jessica Burbank, she is terrific. Easy on the eyes too.
I feel like Ray in Ghostbusters when Winston made the connection between their job and Revelations. "😮......how bout a little music?"
