Coalitions of anti-fascists defeated far right candidates in the UK and France in recent days, following similar showings in Spain and Iran(!). Here, our corporations are tirelessly promulgating every story that can divide anti-fascist, pro-democracy voters. It is up to us to put this exceptional, seamless 24/7 American corporate storytelling from distracting us from the clear goal we need to focus on– defeating an enraged, entrenched, billionaire-funded reactionary movement determined to advance the interests of the 1%.

Is Biden old and senile? My personal view: old, yes, senile, no proof of it, outside of a humiliating performance in a live, unmoderated TV event billed as a debate. Biden quickly demonstrated he was OK, but the story was front page news day after day, pursued wildly by corporate mass media spinning into tales of Biden’s team criminally hiding his senility for years. The headlines were dominated, day after day, by calls for 81 year-old Biden to step down.

Even if Biden were to yield to unreasonable pressure and the blind terror of some of his fellow Democrats, is there any reason for him to step down prior to Trump’s Nuremberg rally in Milwaukee in a few days? Use your common sense. Why would Biden hand that propaganda win to Trump?

Whether Biden is the candidate (leaving aside the political and logistical near impossibility of replacing a presumptive nominee who won the primaries handily) is not an issue for us to take sides about right now. This is particularly true if we are determined to vote against Trump no matter who the Democratic candidate is. The Biden issue is a disturbing distraction, created to trigger the libs by pro-Trump propagandists. It was designed to divide us and take our eyes off the battle to defeat a party whose announced policies please the Klan, Nazis, Christians who prefer Trump to the teachings of Jesus, and the wealthiest 1%.

Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel in October, and the ensuing total war in Gaza, is being laid at Biden’s feet by reactionary propaganda. What is framed as Biden’s vicious war against the besieged Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank is not actually Biden’s war at all. MAKE HIM OWN IT ANYWAY, is the cry of all who would see Americans divided on this emotionally brutal issue. Was the murderous Hamas attack a criminal atrocity? Yes. Are war crimes being committed in Gaza? Yes. Does Israel or the US recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court? No. Does Biden have any direct way to stop this cycle of deadly violence? No. Stop blaming Biden for crimes being committed by the radical right, racist government of our long time ally.

Trump has successfully moved elected officials and right wing judges to support his reframing of the several criminal prosecutions he faces. He loses all of these cases based entirely on the evidence already in the public record. He does not want a day in court to exonerate himself, knowing he can’t. Delay and running out the clock (or bankrupting his adversary) is always his goal and he got it, plus presumptive immunity for all criminal acts committed while he was president. The Georgia RICO case is now the DA Fani Willis, partisan whore who had sex with a colleague case. Under review by a Republican state Supreme Court. The Florida Espionage case is now, with an assist from Ginni Thomas’ husband, the sick and dangerous Jack Smith was illegally appointed case. Down the line.

The corporate press and cable news falls into line, because to corporate media, Trump has the golden click bait touch and they stand to make a shit load of money, as long as they stay on the right side of their golden calf (with a wink to you, Grey Lady).

On and on, down the line, media-driven divisive issues for Americans worried sick about the billionaire-funded march toward a Nazi America to gnash their teeth over and nervously snarl at each other about. Now several more House Democrats (including the otherwise respectable Jerald Nadler of NY) and countless columnists and cable pundits have come out saying Biden must step aside. Let’s fight about whether the Democrats are not being “reckless” in not creating a new process to force the winner of their primaries, the incumbent who presided over many of their greatest recent policy achievements to renounce his candidacy, shall we? The New York Times made a hell of a Brett Kavanaugh-like argument for that, doubling down on their Trump enabling demand the other day.

Biden has assembled an excellent and effective administration. His administration has accomplished an impressive amount for the citizens of this country, against organized lockstep opposition by the power-crazed party of Trump, the human embodiment of retribution. The president does not have to appear daily on TV to attack his critics, lie to voters, deny things he said the day before. The president assembles and oversees a team, and Biden has a first rate one. Trump’s people have assembled a guide for how to finally make a radical right president the unaccountable Unitary Executive and how he will ensure loyalty across the entire government for his extreme “bold and decisive” plans from day one. Trump denies knowledge of this reactionary blueprint for a fascist USA [1]. What else do you need to know?

Do not read the news and freak out, hard as that may be to do. Don’t pay much attention to the polls, most people who answer them are senior citizens with landlines and a rightward bend to their political views.

Remain proactive and take political action, no matter how seemingly small. There is much to do before our exceptional nation can act with the political maturity and pragmatism shown by the UK and France in recent days. Anything less and, I can say this with reasonable assurance, see you in the death camp, my fellow libtard cuck.
