Those Democrats

“If the Democrats are trying to portray themselves as the competent party, the Republicans seem to be trying to give them a leg up.”

Are the Democrats really “competent”? Who “rules” the Democrats? Is Joe Biden competent? Will Joe Biden be competent enough both to win the 2024 election and to serve as president thereafter?

I have a lot of serious doubts. The Democrats talk a “good line” about helping “the people”, but do they actually do it? They seem scared to talk seriously about racism, Anti-Semitism and much more, beyond ranting briefly related to the words of both the Donald, some fellow Republican Crazies and more.

Talking about racism and classism in the United States is rarely done in depth, when it is done at all by the Democrats as well as the “mainstream media” such as CNN and MSNBC. It is scary to look too deeply, because the importance of positive, radical systemic change in multiple areas won’t bode well for the profits of the stockholders and the wealthy donors of both the Democrats and the Republicans.

We need schools that will teach us not only our country’s horrendous history of supporting white supremacy (along with the heroic stories of some notable dissenters), but also teach us how “we profit” from a continuing war based economy which pushes “our” interests in Ukraine, The Middle East and most everywhere else.
