Genocide-Proxy-War-Joe had it coming. Good riddance. The people finally got to “vote” in the polls of disapproval ratings. Biden’s clowns still allowed that war criminal Bibi to stain our capital on our dime, and applaud him. Filth that even Israelis despise.

Both parties are despicable, warmongering, greedy, monsters.

This empire is done. With or without its numerous bloodless coups.

Combined with the fact that Biden was not elected but installed, coup is the best description. Why do people keep saying that we have democracy here?

The mainstream media have been fluffing/flakking for "Credit Card Country" Joe Biden from the get-go, and now are doing the same for Kamala Harris. She has zero bona fides with most Americans, so the Democrats are in a bind of their own construction, or fabrication. Plato's critique of Democracy in

The Republic" still stands, for what that's worth: Oligarchy by other means, influencing the Peasants to think they have a say, a vote...

Well I would learn to spell naive first before you attempt to give political history lessons.

Most of what you say here is true, but calling it a coup is absurd. A coup is when external forces change who's in power (and Biden is still President, which means he is the official frontman for the empire, not that he decides anything). Of course he resisted being pushed off the stage, but it was obvious the party powers had to do it--the only dubious thing is why they waited so long. It's not a coup because it wasn't voluntary on Biden's part--who says he has an absolute right to the nomination? Better question why he had no opponents in the primary.

this is at least the third dnc primary coup in as many elections. as well as the ousting of the president, it was a primary of no debates and/or alternative choices on the ballot, to now have an unpopular person imposed as the candidate, who had dropped out early in the primaries for the 2020 election (in the second dnc coup) and has never earned a single delegate.

we'll see if this general election is another one of "interference" that will be pointed to the usual suspect the dnc created with the help of the company that gave so many blue screens a week or so ago🙄

I think you’re being nieve.

Power has always been taken by force. Kill the king to become the king. These days by force of numbers in a functioning democracy. For example Gillard cutting Rudds neck, metaphorically to become PM.

It was the political reality, Joe is an old, old man and past it. Past it when he started his first term.

I will be impressed if I can function half as good as he has been at his age.

Trump had his number and worked endlessly on old sleepy Joe tag line. And then there is the genocide Joe has been sponsoring and that psychotic invasion/mass killing/mass destruction event was not going away and has split the democratic vote.

What better way to take on Trump, a younger African Asian woman. What a complete contrast to psychopathic Trump that can unite the vote.

Kamala is not African/Asian.

She is also not African/American.

You can google what her heritage is.

This is what I read on Wikipedia-

She is the first female vice president and the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, as well as the first African American and first South Asian American vice president.

Wikipedia is notoriously wrong. Its editors are couch barons.

Try again.

Is she African American? No. She is not a descendant of American slaves from Africa, which is what that term is most often ascribed to.

Is she Jamaican Indian American? Yes

Her father is a Jamaican immigrant which makes her Jamaican American. Her mother is from India. Which makes her Indian American, (aka South Asian). I don’t know what her father’s Jamaican heritage is-West African or Indian or something else, a mix.

She has a rich cultural heritage and that is for certain.

My father is a Greek immigrant. He is not Greek American. My mother was American born in US. I, therefore, am Greek American.

It’s hard for US born Americans to know how these terms apply to immigrants and natural born citizens of those immigrants. And the media manipulates that info.

And the you read the Wikipedia reference and it says -

Vice President Harris was born in Oakland, California to parents who emigrated from India and Jamaica. She graduated from Howard University and the University of California, Hastings College of Law.

So, Indian and Central American decent?
