Excuse my quirky sense of humor. I was suggesting that *IF she were a
young Black progressive, running as Joe Biden's running mate, I'd
support the Democratic ticket.
It's a serious problem when the best candidate for the working class
is rejected by the Democratic Party. I wonder why folks can't
understand that the meaning of it is that the working class has no
political party in the running.

Well, I don't think she's going to be a progressive black woman. I think
she's going to be Camela Harris who is definitely not a Progressive. And
remember that the party leadership is bound and determined to prevent a real
progressive person from becoming president. They are so terrified of that,
that they've risked losing the presidency in 2016 and again now. They think
that Bernie Sanders is Karl Marx.

Doughnuts? My mouth is watering for one of those over sized doughnuts
stuffed with whipped cream.
I'd vote for a young Black progressive woman for vice president. She very
well might inherit the office when Joe Biden wanders off looking for the
men's room.

Carl,
I'll bet dollars to donuts, the party will choose a black, female
candidate for vice president. Everyone has been trained to vote for
symbolic candidates, not real people.
Miriam,

Exactly true, Miriam.
But then I've always believed that it takes someone with an over
inflated ego to believe that they can lead a large nation.
I was just listening to Rep. Jayapal on Thom Hartmann, on Free Talk TV.
She's the Rep. from Seattle's 7th District. I would put her up to run
for vice president with Joe Biden.

Carl,
I forget things all the time, words, names of things, inconsequential
things that have happened recently. But neither you nor I would
presume to take on the kind of responsibility that Joe Biden is
willing to take on. For him to make that choice, is wrong, unethical.
For the Democratic Party leadership to manipulate in the way that
they did to give him the nomination, is absolutely criminal. And it
shows their disrespect for the Americans whom they are supposed to be
representing.

That pretty much sums it up, Miriam.
But here's the scary thing, Joe Biden sounds very much like me. No,
I don't mean that he has the same positions or principles that I
have, but I'm now finding myself wandering off topic, reaching for
words that slip and slide away, and mix up topics in the middle of a
thought. Maybe it shows somewhat in my posts, but as a general rule
I take time to say what I want to say without wandering too far afield.
When I was younger I saw this same pattern developing in my mother,
as it had done with her own mother. I assumed I would follow my
dad's aging pattern. Dad was sharp up to the day he died. But, as
it is with us all, the genetic mix can be very fickle. Two beautiful
young people can produce an Ugly Duckling just as a homely pair can
bring into the world a Beauty Pageant Winner.
But, and there is always a butt in the mix, Joe Biden is dreaming, in
his more lucid moments, of becoming our Leader! Leaders, especially
in today's world, need to be able to follow a thought from beginning
to end without winding up somewhere else.
What I would do, if, God Forbid, if I were Joe Biden, I'd take Bernie
Sanders as my running mate. Now I understand that Biden said he'd
call on a woman to be his vice presidential running mate, but
remember, Joe What's His Name won't remember he said that. So with
Bernie at his side, bringing all the more reasonable voters, and Joe
with the Establishment Democrats, together they will sweep Donald
Trump and his White Supremacists right on back to where they
belong...1880.

My last post for tonight: Has anyone actually listened to all of the
recent clips of Joe Biden's pronouncements? He is clearly suffering
from some kind of Dimentia. He can't talk for more than a minute or
so without going off track, forgetting what he's saying, sounding
confused. It is incredible that the Democratic Party leadership has
chosen this candidate to run against Donald trump. Assuming that
they can continue to hide his senility from the public, is their
plan to then have someone behind the scenes actually act as
President while using him as a figurehead. That's what the
Republicans did with Ronald Reagan after he developed Alzheimers,
but at least he was functional at the start of his presidency. So
this time we'll have two old white men running against each other:
one, an insane person who is also a racist bigot and a dishonest
businessman: the other a senile racist with a history of favoring
legislation that supports banks and mass incarceration.
Both of them have histories of sexual harassment of women. But the
thing is, the Republicans are more ruthless than the Democrats,
better at dirty tricks, so the crazy racist abuser may win over the
senile racist abuser.
