First step first, pull our heads out of our asses and start having a critical discussion about the viability of Biden as a candidate, with an open mind as to having an actual primary. He’s old as fuck and showing it, badly. He’s worse this month than he was last month. An 80 year old man should be gardening and having conversations with the family pets, not making decisions that they’ll never experience the consequences of. Trump being a massive pile of shit isn’t carte blanc to also run a shitty candidate. Maybe he should step down and let Harris take us into November.
Second step, we need to have a reconciling within the Democratic party regarding the failure of leadership they’ve been demonstrating for the past decade. They need to stop treating the progressive wing of the caucus as pariahs. The progressive/ leftist wing of the party has been whats saved their asses every election cycle because the Liberals and center right wings of the party can’t get out of their own way to win an election. Primary debates are traditionally where this kind of debate is held. the DNC didn’t permit this, so it will have to happen in media. Call for these debates now. We need to find a viable candidate that will drive voters to the polls in November.
Third step, is that right now, Biden needs to shift his policy on Israel and the border. He needs to show that if voters tick D’ in November, they aren’t voting for a party further right on Middle East policy than the Republicans. Likewise with the border. The Democrats just took 8 steps to the right on border policy, and got basically nothing for it. Its not clear to me that the mess Biden has set the table with is fixable, but right now.
First step, acceptance. Second step, truth and reconciliation. Third step, re-configuring/ re-align policy.
