Not Really Hers, But Brilliant Just The Same

Not Liz, But Pru

So, like a lot of people, a few days ago I saw what was said to be a posting from Liz Cheney taking the Democrats to task for inactivity in the face of a serious threat of Fascism. I accepted that it was from the former congresswoman. However, I soon learned that the letter had been misattributed. It had actually been written (and signed) by a Facebook user who goes by the name of PruPru. (It is still not clear who reproduced the letter and claimed it was from Liz Cheney.)

That said, when you read the posting, you have to think it is right on the money. PruPru begs Democrats to stop fund-raising and start fighting. She is dang tired (and aren’t we all?) of getting endless emails and messages begging for $20 here and $15 there, while it seems that the Party Elite is inert, and not confronting Trump in really meaningful ways.

She also has some excellent ideas about what the Democrats could do now, and how they could make the GOP actually squirm.

The letter is well worth reading, and you can see it here: https://www.facebook.com/DrPruLee/posts/pfbid038BY7yThGnhmksswQDbuEauChgPKA8wj5rnBVjZeGeh2kzEEGtFNoxDiQ29YrLfbnl

So, not really from Liz Cheney…

But damn! It makes good reading.

Three cheers to PruPru.

They Just Don’t Get It.

I read an article a while back on the recent attempt by some “high ranking” Democrats to replace Joe Biden with someone younger and “more with it.” The article made the interesting point that the move was coming from “Democratic elites and nonpartisan pundits.”* 

The problem being, of course, that’s not who votes. Who votes is people, not pundits and not elites. And if either group had bothered to actually ask anyone who lives outside the Beltway or where-ever, they would have discovered that there was absolutely no support for the dangerous and probably suicidal move of switching horses in mid-stream, or given our present circumstances, in mid-tidal wave.

The fact that they would suggest such an idea without bothering to discover whether there was any support for it, says a great deal about our Elites...and little that is flattering.

Perhaps we need to ask if the Democratic party really needs leadership of that sort. Of, in other words, Democrats who are so un-democratic.

A member of the party elite...a.k.a., a pompous ass.
