Omigod that’s “dangerous”! So what do our mass media do? I know! Let’s cherry-pick some news reports to try to make it look as if it’s ONLY the Right who wants Democratic Party debates. Never mind that it’s 79% of BIDEN VOTERS who want to see debates, something Biden sycophant Bobby Lewis fails to mention.
And, as Krystal Ball points out, RFK Jr. is not a “spoiler”: https://www.youtube.com/embed/zzmASW0CLiw
Oooh but Joe is an “incumbent.” Protecting the incumbent, you see, is why the likes of Bobby Lewis must characterize any challenge to Biden’s coronation as the Democratic Party nominee as “right wing.” Never mind that Joe is currently running a foreign policy that is to the right of Henry Kissinger. And Joe’s domestic policy involves sitting back and watching as Medicare and Medicaid are further privatized into monopoly hands. Of course RFK Jr. and Williamson are both running far to the left of Biden. Here’s RFK Jr.:
“I don’t want Wall Street running the country. I don’t want the neocons running our foreign policy. I don’t like censorship. I think I’m skeptical about war,” Kennedy continued, adding that he believes the United States should look to “settle” the war between Russia and Ukraine.
And Williamson?
“I feel my forty years being up close and personal with the trauma of so many thousands of individuals gives me a unique perspective on what is needed to help repair America,” Williamson wrote. “We need a politics that treats not just symptoms, but cause. That does not base itself on the crass imperatives of endless corporate profit, but on the eternal imperatives of our principles and values.”
Here it must be added that Time Magazine (online) is running an article titled “How RFK Jr. Could Lose Badly But Still Throw Biden Off His Game.” One marvels at the hubris of media sycophants who know far in advance of any primary how they’re all going to turn out. Also, Biden has a game? You’d think if he actually had a game he’d cater to that 79% of his voters who want debates. More likely is that he will be like that imagined Leader in Woody Allen’s old movie Sleeper, who is in fact dead but who is still the titular head of state because everyone in power still pretends he’s alive.
Meanwhile we can sit back and munch on popcorn as the criminal investigation proceeds.
