Stare Decisis's JournalAs Of Now I Feel The Favorite Is Warren-Liz Ain't Playing
Elizabeth has her finger on this party's pulse. Quite frankly I don't give a low altitude fuck if she wrote "martian" on a license application. She isn't throwing shade she is throwing political punches.
I want someone who is about it. Other than Kamala and Liz and ahem, Bernie, who is? I want to know my nominee is going to go political John Wick on anybody and everyone in their way.
That doesn't sound nice.
This isn't a nice election.
Yes I know my selection says Biden. Can't bring a corsage to someone not RSVP'd to attend the dance now can I?
Waiting..
In the meantime-imagine an unleashed Liz Wick in the White House.
Democrating Wrong-Omar and Warren and Priorities
There are a few here so obtuse to completely miss the point of my post that I had to respond to what was said about ME.
First off-Many you ARE Democrating wrong. If you have more knowledge about Omar than Senator Warren's needed and bold proposal to break up big tech, what are you doing here? Omar is one of 535 with an opinion. That's it. Liz could be in a position to change the world. Priorities.
Second-I disagree passionately with what she said. I don't hate her. Some can't separate the two. See Democrating wrong.
Third-I was physically threatened (probably not alone in that) for canvassing for Obama. Don't EVER say I don't love that man. But part of why I took that risk is because of what I know comes next-respect for her opinions. Not agreement, but respect. He won't ask me to vilify her and that is a big reason we love him. See Democrating correctly.
Fourth-this is forest for trees stuff. Our foreign policy has been an abject disaster since the 50's. No one President can sandblast this political rot off of the Pentagon. Obama didn't. Maybe he should have tried harder. Her point if not the target of her ire, stands validly.
Fifth as of right now, thanks to hyperbolic and predictable responses to molehills like this, we are on track to LOSE. Badly. We have to understand the difference between consequential leaders who stir pots and rookies who don't even know where the spoon is. There is no reason to be this upset over one person speaking her mind. When you do get this upset, what happens is our opponents get stronger, figure we are easy pickings, and keep our turnout down. Seen this movie before.
You still don't get it. She is going to say what she wants to say. You don't have to like it. Be done with her if that is your choice. Criticize and yell and have a big ol' hissy if that is your pleasure. But don't expect to win. This universe has a way of giving back the energy you put out. See Democrating correctly-see what Elizabeth Warren has to say about oligarchy and too big to fail and the need for fairness. Think about what is really important, because an opinion about Barack is as weighty as a loose feather. It is all emotion. No substance. Stay focused. Brush it off. Move forward:
The way Barack Obama would want it.
Don't like what I say? Guess what you don't have to listen now do ya? But at some point we have to stop hating those we disagree with.
Or maybe we are not as immune to sophistry as we like to think?
Good thoughts to all-whether they are appreciated or not.
Omar Has Opinions. Get Used To It.
I don't care what the media has to say. I read these quotes. I am not in agreement. So what? Omar didn't sign some pledge that requires her to think like me. I think she is misinformed to a degree, but that does not make me more important. I am proud of my association with the Obama era. I believe there are more than a few things she is off base about.
That is disagreement. That's it. The way the press would is presenting it is something akin to a disciple spitting on their religious savior. That is spin. Spin is poison to a free country. Now disagreement? That is something we used to use as an ingredient for self-governance.
I don't know what goes on obviously, and I am not saying Barack is or was perfect, but this freshman rep is not likely to have any understanding of the inner workings or agendas of the Chiefs. But this I believe-Barack Obama did not lie with a straight face to enter us into an unwinnable war with no foreseeable conclusion and endless sacrifice, or completely destabilize the region by handing Syria to Russia.
So on this continuum of rage, the letters W and DJT should in this case, precede B and O. That said we do need to have a real conversation about a recalibration of our military approach and a reassessment of this commitment to manifest destiny the USA seems to be addicted to. Understand this-that is something that one could hypothetically express to someone over a friendly lunch. No rage. Just points of view.
I don't in any way shape or form take kindly to comparing Trump and Barack. That is the reality. There is a way of responding to that without giving an appearance of disarray however.
We must stay focused and I must say the media is making a concerted effort to divide us, and it seems only us.
In an world where people of color and the LGBT community is no longer low hanging fruit for the right wing, we can count on them to use Islam as a cudgel. Like another DU member said, (apologies for not remembering it is on a now blocked post) it will always be something, don't you see? If it isn't real, they will just make something up, some TV corporoslut will point out something AOC said, or Omar, or dredge up Lewisnsky and look at the camera to tell you with a straight fucking face that multiple felonies and an indiscreet sexual favor are "both sides behaving badly."
Cutting healthcare for millions while complaining about Amazon's lack of tax burden is "both sides being out of touch."
That in mind, whether we love Omar, or AOC, or not, is also not relevant. What is is that we are remember what the media is and that whores are gonna whore. So us constantly bickering over these freshmen is nothing more than than driving up on the political street corner and asking how much.
We have been fucked enough already-we don't need to do it to ourselves.
Dear Cynthia Nixon,
When the time is right a pro like Biden will go right after his opponents but do so in a way that preserves his dignity.
You should not be offended by Joe's unwillingness to insult.
Joe cares. But he also believes in honor.
His example is something we should all aspire to: A world where kicking someone's ass doesn't require you to be one.
