On Thursday, July 18, the Washington Post published a story saying Barack Obama said Joe Biden should “seriously reconsider” his re-election bid.
On Friday, July 19, billionaire Michael Moritz, a HUGE Democratic donor, said,
I would vote for Biden, but I would not give another penny to any fund-raising appeals from Democrats.
Just two days later, Biden announced he would not run for re-election after all and endorsed Kamala Harris. His endorsement was immediately followed by that of the Clintons. Sorry,
, but the grift prevented another shot at Her Turn.That’s because if the Democratic nominee is anyone other than Cackling Kamala, simply because she was a candidate on the ticket, the campaign would be required by law to refund over $250 million in campaign donations to the original donors.
See how this works? The grift must flow, the Grifting Guild has embargoed Joe Biden, therefore Joe must go.
This is the democracy to which Donald Trump is an existential threat, according to Democrats. Any questions?
Thank you for reading this quick hitter, good day or night, and good luck.
If you like my scribbling, please consider a very reasonably priced monthly subscription or a one time donation by buying me a beer.
i don't recall getting my money refunded from Bernie's campaign🙄
the first and last campaign i supported, never again, let alone vote
Whoever wrote the rule campaign rule wrote it in their favor…this is how laws are made. By consensus of the ruling class to protect the status quo. The final nail in the coffin…leading to the complete corporate takeover of America was the Citizens United SCOTUS ruling. Both parties are basically carbon copies of each other….groveling to mega corporate fat cats while the middle and working classes continue to get screwed; Trump is no savior. The best we can hope for is that he gets elected and ends the war in Ukraine. I’ll take that as a win, but I have no great hopes for the US. We are in decline and refuse to accept it. It’s sad.
