@YNB@Pink@DNC Yesss!! Go every chance you get. I’ve seen her 3 times and it’s the most amazing experience. She’s an amazing human and artist; she’s fierce and fights for the important things like you. I’m so thankful you both exist. I hope you get to meet her too!
When you hear President Obama speak, you can’t help but feel hopeful, inspired, and wanting to be part of the change.
When you hear Donald Trump speak, you can’t help but feel dread, sadness, and fear.
That’s the difference.
It’s weird to worship a fascist game show host while pretending to be a Christian. It’s weird to complain that childless cat ladies are the real problem facing America; it’s weird to believe in “menstrual surveillance.” It’s weird to attack people who don’t have kids just because they don’t have kids. It’s weird to have a fetish for weapons of mass death. It’s weird to get angry at Star Wars and Disney movies or hate drag queens. It’s weird to hang out with Matt Gaetz. That’s the Republican Party, which is why they’re so vulnerable to this line of attack.
I wrote an essay a few days ago about the possibility of President Biden stepping aside, and I meant every word of it.
The excerpt I need folks to understand:
"Here’s one thing I know for certain: this current political media landscape of ours, with all its slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, will not end if President Biden stepping aside.
"There is an obvious double standard at play right now. It is painfully apparent that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are largely being given a pass by much of political media.
"That is not to say that all—or perhaps, most—political reporters and outlets are working through a prism of obvious bias in favor of Trump, but there is certainly a pervasive absolution of journalistic duty that will continue to exist, no matter which names are on the Democratic ticket.
"Vice President Harris, Gov. Newsom, Gov. Whitmer, Gov. Pritzker, Gov. Shapiro, Gov. Beshear, Sec. Buttigieg, it truly does not matter who forms the ticket that gets printed on ballots — all of them will be unfairly weighed by much of political media against a narcissistic sociopath leading a major party that has become a cult.
"It could be anything. The propaganda we can expect is only limited by imagination.
"As soon as the Republican Party settles on a narrative and pushes it, much of political media will pick up that ball and run with it, “just asking questions” and musing out loud and doing all they can to preserve access with the GOP and satisfy certain billionaire owners who are throwing their weight on the scales.
"I don’t point this out to demoralize anyone. Quite the opposite. I point this out to prevent a predictable demoralization that will surely come for anyone, regardless of their take on this matter, who believes the cementing of their preferred ticket will ease the path forward.
"We have to be prepared for pervasive discomfort, every single one of us. The next 15 weeks or so will come with unexpected obstacles and a deeply unfair double standard in much of political media and the frustrating prioritization of entertainment over substance, intrigue over clarity, ratings over republic, drama over democracy.
"Whatever happens next, even if it may not be what we personally think is best, it is critical that we roll up our sleeves and stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the work against those who gleefully seek to undermine and destroy our democratic institutions."

Let me be clear — I’ll vote for the older man instead of the old man who is an election denying sexual predator who has 34 felony convictions.
I’m voting for Joe Biden. Point blank period.
