...that when I wake up tomorrow morning (and we're generally a day
ahead of the important western centres of the world) Joe boy is POTUS.
Then, the USA will resume leadership of the west, re-arm Ukraine, fuck
the Russians up their collective arses, re-join the Paris climate
change accord, resume financing of WHO, and get rid of fossil fuels
(except diesel, which powers generators, locomotives, hospitals, and
my SUV :).
A lovely new Joe Biden morning. And, dont'cha just love Joe's smile?
A brande nue dae...
### - for sure, under the left there'll then be around a 5% swing back
towards sanity...
but as for the other 95% it's basically just business as usual?
iow: hardly anything really changes no matter who gets in, it only being
very slightly better under the left (more public spending and looking
after the environment at the expense of the wealthy in terms of higher
taxes & restrictions etc) but that's about it...
I disagree, it's the democrats who crash into the china shop, change
things, make radical changes. The conservatives just want to keep
things like they are, which is rotten and mouldy and anti-progressive.
I'm a libertarian progressive, if there's such a thing.
### - innovation comes from the thinkers on the left for sure, but it's
only a tiny change in the air as opposed to any more solid changes being implemented, they try, and usually start to make some good headway, only
to be booted back out by a disgruntled public or business community far
too soon for much actual good to ever come out of it... and it's been like
that for decades!
the world will thus return a bit more towards normal, even though that
'normal' is actually quite horrendous if not totally insane to begin
with!
problem is, joe's actually quite old so don't be surprised if they have
a
female prez not that long from now? a black female president would be
summat to see...
don't care, he's got a GREAT smile. I like him. He's genuine. And as
you said earlier, he's a professional statesman with 47 years of
political life behind him.
Kamala seems ok to me too. Very handsome old gal. I'm colour blind
so don't give a shit about her skin colour.
### - he is genuine! plus she's astute and intelligent! a former district attorney so has discipline & training + experience in politics as well!
better still: she's black! and thus as-sane as obama! (i'm not colour
blind in that sense, the shit the blacks have been through in their
history has forced more sanity on them to have to deal with, they've had
more practice with it, so the rational ones amongst them are very rational
but also have a heart! thus sane-er...)
"Life goes on much the same. In the face of terrifying dangers and golden political opportunities, people just keep-on keeping-on in a sort of
twilight sleep in which they're conscious of nothing but the daily-round
of work, family life, darts at the pub, exercising the dog, bringing home
the supper, beer, etc, etc."
