Money runs this country, and I figure that the Democratic Party only exists at the pleasure of the plutocratic corporate billionaire elite, and they have a solid stranglehold over the American public brain. It's not like the Dems have any alternative. If they decided to challenge the plutocrats, and what is the American Risen South, they would start getting killed again. This is very bad, and there is no way to have an honest discussion really in public, because there is no media infrastructure can prohibit it, and the people are as brainwashed as Hamas Gazans.

OK, I see ... no carriage returns in a comment? Always enjoy your take on things. This is an excellent point by point analysis of last night's ??? whatever that was. It was so bizarre that immediately after the debate Joe seemed to be normal again, and then today he was speaking at a rally and seemed entirely normal. He needs to explain what is going on at the very least. To some of your other points, I am so disappointed in Bernie Sanders and how he snuggled up to "The Squad" and the Muslim fanatics that I can no longer stand him - and that is a real loss to me. With Gavin Newsom, I will never forget how right before both the 2000 and 2004 elections he decides to energize the Right-wing by marrying gays. I disagree with you a bit on the border. I think Biden should have jumped on that years ago, like getting Merrick Garland to prosecute Trump and Jan 6th. The majority of Americans want immigration slowed way down, especially for Muslims and from Muslims countries. Biden is holding the country hostage for his ego. He thinks he can force people to vote for him when it comes down to it to avoid another Trump administration. Biden allowed the long planned proxy war with Russia to happen when he could have stopped that - now we face possible nuclear war. Maybe nuclear winter can counteract global warming? No Kamala, No Michelle Obama. I don't really know how is out there that could run. I'm impressed with John Fetterman - never AOC because of her sold soul to the Squad. Am I reading between the lines in listening to your podcasts that you support Gaza and a forced ceasefire? Yeah ... Netanyahu is not perpetrating a genocide - and that attitude is what makes Leftist Democrats lose.
