Biden Should Step Down Now and Let a Black Woman Be President
The unspoken racism and sexism propping up our zombie president.
When I called the then upcoming presidential debate “The Sleepening” yesterday (inspired by the Simpsons), I had no idea how spot on that label would be.
Within 30 seconds of Joe Biden speaking, or rather, croaking, I knew we were witnessing an historic debate disaster akin to Nixon’s sweaty brow when he went up against JFK.
Biden was literally slackjawed throughout the entire debate - though he did manage an evil grin once or twice - and his health was clearly far gone past the bad “cold” his campaign was blaming the poor performance on.
I wrote just four days ago about the “people who can’t wake up” in denial of Joe Biden’s massive mental decline:
Not surprisingly, the people who have no spiritual eyesight are so fooled that they can’t see what is obvious to everyone else, that Biden is now senile and unfit for office. In fact, they are actively denying it, saying that clips of Biden acting like a doddering old fool are simply “taken out of context.”
Now even the die-hards are waking up and realize that Biden is ill, and this is not just a bad head cold.
Joe Biden needs to be in a senior care home, not the White House. He’s sick and probably dying, slowly. It’s sad. He has no business having his finger on the button right now.
However, the calls right now are just that Biden needs to drop out of the presidential race. This in and of itself is a big leap, since the Democrats had been circling the wagons. Suddenly many are now admitting Biden is too far gone - such as in this New York Times op-ed. But this is not enough.
Biden should resign, today, and let Kamala Harris take the reins.
I know many of my readers dislike Kamala Harris, but bear with me here.
Why aren’t we having a conversation about the next 6 months and 20 days Biden will still be president, even if he does drop out of the race?
Biden should not be president NOW.
Why aren’t the Democrats pushing for him to resign completely and back the black female VP?
I’m writing as someone who used to vote straight D ticket for 20 years, who was a massive Hillary Clinton supporter in her first presidential run, who was a progressive as they come. This hypocrisy was why I left and became an independent.
What’s the point of being the party of “diversity and inclusion” when you don’t walk your talk?
The problem is, modern-day die-hard Democrats are nothing but a weird combination of naive, hypocritical, undiscerning, and completely lacking self-awareness.
Here’s a comment by a woman from that New York Times op-ed:
As an old lady myself (80 in Nov), I would rather have a president who is good-hearted, committed to helping others, slowed down cognitively and surrounded by sane advisors than a person who is full of hate, self-righteousness, committed to helping himself and surrounded by others with similar traits.
“Slowed down cognitively” is not the same thing as “looks like he’s about to keel over.” And once again, here’s the lack of discernment at play. Biden is not “good-hearted” and he never was. He’s an arrogant egotist, an ineffective and sometimes blatantly racist career politician who bullied his way through life. He just does it with a little less outrageousness than Trump.
What was really telling to me about Biden’s debate performance last night was that the only time Sleepy Joe was able to muster up some energy was to throw childish insults at Trump like a sad schoolyard bully, calling him a sucker, loser, convicted felon, and whiner…etc.
Trump was relatively restrained in response and focused mostly on policies - he knew Biden was losing it.
Those of us who have been paying attention know that Joe Biden probably hasn’t been our real president for at least a year or two, if not his entire term.
But let’s just look at this on a more surface level. Why won’t the DEI woke left demand that Biden step down and let Kamala Harris be our first black female president?
Why aren’t the “AWFULS” (Affluent White Feminist Urban Liberal) throwing their weight behind Kamala?
I hear a couple of reasons for this, such as Kamala is “unlikable” (in any other context the left would be crying racism) and that she can’t win against Trump (I disagree with this, as the Democrats are losing much of the black vote to Trump right now).
The reality is, the mainstream media has the power to rebrand and build up Kamala Harris as the second coming of Obama if they really wanted to.
Why won’t they?
I don’t really like Kamala Harris, and I don’t trust her. She is one of those insincere politicians who says whatever she needs to get ahead.
But I don’t think she’s as dumb as some claim she is, and I suspect she is strong willed and stubborn.
I think she’s not being promoted because she’s NOT as easy to control as a Biden or a Newsom.
As for the rest - the AWFULs and the women baby boomers who hate Trump with a passion and claim to be feminist - but won’t support Kamala Harris - I suspect some unspoken racism or sexism here. They really don’t want a black female to be president. They prefer a white man…or any man.
Yet, it’s the AWFULs who push DEI so hard. Why? Perhaps they are projecting their own inner guilt, sexism, and racial angst onto the rest of us.
I’d rather have Kamala Harris be president over Biden any day of the week. First of all, unlike Biden, she hasn’t been accused of raping her staffer while Senator. She’s also not sniffing the hair of 10-year-old girls on camera.
Harris has been kept under wraps by White House the entire Biden presidency…some suggesting because she doesn’t get along with the Biden team. Good. That’s enough for me. Give the woman a shot.
(By the way, we had a nice little crowd watching the debate yesterday in our online chat room, hope you can join us next time.)
PS Do me a favor and help me out with Substack’s algorithms...like and share this post.
"I think she’s not being promoted because she’s NOT as easy to control as a Biden or a Newsom."
This I believe to be the case, but the Dems may not have quite realized it initially. Anyone remember the reports of staffing issues due to Kamala's treatment of her aides & staff? My guess is that she's probably more than a tad unpleasant behind closed doors, which would contrast nicely with her public appearances as the queen of nervous cackling and word salads. No way would she be as malleable as Sleepy Joe.
I believe they originally intended to pull Joe out during his 3rd year, allowing for Kamala to run for re-election twice instead of once. What a weird thing he said here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrK2sV_h3pY But the Russian invasion also happened and it's hard to launder taxpayer money through Ukraine when you're no longer president. I tell you, it's strange being a conspiracy theorist at this point in my life.
Kamala Harris was put on the ticket in 2020 precisely to rehabilitate her after she got kneecapped by Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries -- and she made a complete pig's breakfast of it.
Harris represents the real problem with the Democratic Party today: their bench is thin and getting thinner, with nobody with any real talent left in the ranks of the up and coming.
In 2016 and again this election cycle, the Republicans have had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to candidates. Any of the candidates in the GOP primary field last fall. The Democrats just don't have talent on deck.
