Starting to see the same talking heads going on about Biden’s age and suggesting other candidates that should primary him.

It’s ageism and thinly veiled bigotry. White supremacy/privilege is a disease in this country that just won’t go away. Every time you think it has, it rears its ugly head.

Let’s break this down, so that it forever remains broken. Biden is the incumbent. Harris is his choice for VP. They have done an excellent job turning this country around, given the slim majorities in Congress, R obstruction, & the damage handed to them from the previous farce of an administration.

Where are the receipts for age being a factor in his performance? Did we forget what life was like with Drumpf? Why is it suddenly odd & ahistorical for the incumbent to run? The ageist concerns came abt from Drumpf/Republican propaganda nicknaming Biden “Sleepy Joe”. Folks fell for it.

The real reason why Biden’s age is a concern is bigotry. It’s the reality that folks can’t handle the fact that the next in line of succession is Kamala Harris. A BIPOC woman. Full stop.
Folks are telling on themselves by:

1. Claiming Biden is too old, but NEVER saying the same about Drumpf (77);

2. Suggesting Cornell West (70), Bernie Sanders (82), or Elizabeth Warren (74) for President;

3. NEVER suggesting the actual, VP Harris, as a candidate.

Similar to Hillary Clinton, VP Harris’ record of service, more than qualifies her. Aside from acting “vice-presidenty”, what did Pence do?

Yet, no one questioned him or his decision to run. Dropping Harris from the ballot will definitely ensure defeat. Black women & young voters are amped & understand the assignment.

Marianne Williamson??.....crickets, or should I say crystals. 🤔🙄 RFK Jr is a planted, spoiler candidate, endorsed by

Steve Bannon, Roger Stone and Mike Flynn. He’s funded by rightwing billionaires. Follow the money. Absolutely nothing serious or remotely logical about his campaign.

The absolute question is: Do we want a democracy or not?

Too many are either, too privileged to recognize that 2024 is about voting on whether we will be able to continue supporting a multicultural, pluralistic democracy AND the ability to vote in it, or willing to blow it all away by splitting the vote with 3rd party or unviable spoiler candidates.

We’re here now because of purity politics. The big tent party now has a big problem with everyone claiming VIP status & wanting to sit in the front row. And, it’s destroying us. Real talk…some of us have always had to take a back seat & had to be okay with it, as long as we remained in the tent.

Our time will come. This is how democracy works. You don’t vote away the entire tent, just because you think you can, believe you have the right to do so, or feel you’ll have another safe space to go to, if democracy fails. That’s selfish. That’s privilege.

The middle of the road folks need to pick a side or we lose. It’s just that simple. Republicans/Conservatives are NEVER going to give up. This is a rightwing coup. It’s a confederacy that has been in the works for generations. They have shown us what their agenda is. It’s clear.

We have already lost rights and their court appointees are continuing to do tremendous damage. Our kids officially have less rights than most of us had.

No other Dem candidate will be able to beat Biden. No Independent candidate will beat Biden.

Let’s get over this self-immolation and move on with the business of wrestling this country from the hands of wannabe dictators, corruption and those aiding and abetting foreign interests that are vested in America’s demise.

The Republican Party is a fifth column in the United States. We either do the hard work to defeat them, or lose everything, including our children’s and grandchildren’s futures. There’s no one coming to save us from ourselves. Full stop.

I agree that Biden's age is really about Kamala--she's intelligent and knows what she's doing, so of course she has a particular percentage of white men (& racists) afraid of her. I, too, think that this is a strategy to turn people off of Biden and using ageism to do so.
