From The People Who Brought You Pearl Harbor

 I really admire Hillary Clinton, and I voted for her in 2016. But I also knew that she was greatly disliked by many Americans, and I feared for the worst when she was made the nominee. 

And, of course, the worst happened. It happened because the leadership decided she should be president, regardless of her actual electability, and they imposed her on the ticket in spite of, not because of what the voters wanted (which seems to have been Bernie Sanders). And, so, what we also got was Donald Trump, four years of chaos, Covid, and a very near economic disaster. 


But I think we now have a very similar situation on our hands. When Democratic elites, media members, and various pundits demanded Biden step down, they were effectively stating that their opinion about who should be president was more important than what voters believed -- and voters repeatedly said that they were sticking with Biden, regardless.


I think, then, that we need to look very hard at this situation. And we need to ask, in future, if the Party’s leadership needs to be shaken up a bit.


And maybe reconstructed entirely.




A pompous ass...
