Here is my response to a “hit piece” on me by someone I have never encountered before. A piece demanding blind loyalty and demanding we only are allowed to fawn over our legislators or candidates or risk being flagged.
One need not be a neurologist to observe Biden. As you neglected to rebut, much of our society did this under Reagan and we were proved to be right. But that doesn’t seem to matter to you, right? Because we weren’t neurologists, right?
Count the number of times in the Debate reporting in the New York Times and the Washington Post and even DKOS moderators on the Debates used the phrase “Word Salad” and notes how he “Lost His Way” in most debates as the evening wore on. Were these journalists and others wrong to note this because they are not neurologists? Comedians and SNL are doing the same things with Biden that they did with Reagan. For a reason. Do you demand everyone on DKOS and in America who notes Trump’s narcissism, lack of core character, utter lack of empathy be Psychologists to make that observation? Yep, I thought not.
And now you write a vicious hit piece on me. You are what frightens me. You tell me I have no right to use my critical thinking on this website and I should be “Flagged” for not being 100% Patriotic to the Democratic Candidate.
I’m voting for him! Which I mentioned but which you disregarded because I’m not passing your LOYALTY TEST. And that is dangerous is itself. Dangerous in the US, dangerous in the Democratic and Republican Party and dangerous on Daily Kos.
I know Biden’s good points and bad ones. OMG, I said he has bad points! So we ignore Dow Chemical, Credit Card interest rates, Shell Corporation Capital of DE and a slew of other things? I pretend they don’t exist to PLEASE YOU? Get real.
They are good to know because it’s also how we can stay on top of our next Democratic President so we keep him honest and not repeating the mistakes he has made. OMG, I said he’s made mistakes and that he’s not PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!---— “FLAG HIM”!
Knowing your President’s flaws and trying to make sure they don’t screw citizens over is our obligation! If only Republicans viewed Trump’s pre-Presidential behavior and pressed him to his campaign promises instead of giving him carte blanche to break them and do much, much worse.
Democrats are better at governing because we live in the real world and don’t practice blind loyalty and that’s why we will win in November. The GOP makes fun of our division but it is our STRENGTH. That’s why Republicans have to use every dirty trick like Voter Suppression, disallowing Vote by Mail, not allowing Felons vote who have paid their debt, not letting college students vote in the town they spend 9 months in and a slew of other things because they lack that moral and intellectual integrity/strength and hate us for it.
I was a Warren volunteer for 6 months and donated monthly to her. I don’t think she walks on water either, she’s got her good points and bad points. Guess what? I like seeing people as they are instead of just what I need them to be. And that did not stop me working hard for her. Do you know what that is called? It’s called living in the real world and using all that teaching I received in college. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is critical thinking.
And you want me to give that up? Never.
This kind of stupidity frightens me because this is exactly how Red State trolls people who don’t think Trump is perfect. Yours is the scary view, not mine. And now your write a diary trying to defame my name here. For shame.
This whole thing was said in a Main Page thread about Biden’s choice for VP. In the context of why we need a very strong, experienced VP pick. A point by the way, you never brought up, it’s relevant and it’s important.
Sorry, but I get enough “Blind Loyalty” from Trumpers and you are practicing the exact same thing on Democrats. You, sir or madam, are the danger here, not me. Blind indeed.
