Harris, sounding Vice Presidential

That observation has been around for a long time.

@Thinkerbell [quote]Biden is still promoting racism, only now it's of the kind favored by the Democrat wokesters of today rather than that of the the Dixiecrats of yesterday.[/quote]

If you say "woke," you're automatically wrong.

Like, should I even bother asking what racism Biden is promoting? I disagree with affirmative action, but even that is more nuanced, since it depends on so many factors. Whereas Trump is just openly reciting Goebbels talking-points about racial minorities.

Also, if both parties are promoting racism, isn't it important that we keep our democracy so that no minority is in danger of oppression?

@Thinkerbell Not sure where you are going with that. The fact is America has been gaming the world since the seventies and now seems upset someone else is crowding their game.😷

@Patriot96 Yes. It would. But people change the meaning of words to suit themselves. Like "Patriot" Used to mean backing the decisions of the government, with your voice and your body. Where now it seems to mean if the government isnt to your liking you can try to throw them out by force and put your own people in..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Where we are at now reminds of; Plato ~ Ship of Fools (Wikipedia)

No matter who the POTUS is everyone else believes that they can do a much better job and they argue about it in public and on news media.

"The clamor of stupid voices inside each of our own stormy minds."

I think that the super wealthy, the wealthy and those who have a lot of money, want to keep it that way and make more. But if they don't keep the 'worker bees' at least somewhat happy then we're all going to hell 'without' a handbasket. 🤔

@softspokenman Exactly. The more enlightened industrialists in Britiain built whole towns around their factoriies, including hospitals and schools to raise a future educated and healthy workforce. Andrew Carnegie founded libraries all over America with the aim of educating the general population while growing the US Steel industry. That grew the potential for growth ahead of the market and made Britain the manufacturing exporter to the world and America the industrial giant that conquered the world after WW2. Now the world has moved on and Americans import much of its manufactured goods, while selling mostly to other Americans.. Worse. By printing valueless money, it debases the one product of America that everyone else wants. $US to use for trade. And risks that being supplanted. If the $ isnt required, a large portion of the US financial industry collapses. along with Wall Street, the hedge funds, the banks and brokers.😷
