This one quote tells you a lot about what’s wrong with our political landscape

Joe Biden has stepped aside which, as I had noted in a previous post, mainly leaves one to wonder what took him so long.

However, his endorsement of Kamala Harris is not a cause for optimism. Harris revealed the depth of her concern for America right off the bat, in one single sentence in her press release on Sunday:

”I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald Trump”

This is what the Democratic Party is now about: Swinging for the fences and desperately crafting a narrative that will hopefully beat the big boogey man. No word about what she is actually going to do for American citizens. No word about the big issues her country is facing. No word about her strategy.

Uninspired is not strong enough a word for what the American voter must feel at her options in November.

Politics has reached the end game of Moloch and bad incentives. Until this changes it may be best to stay out and start looking for alternative paths to salvation.
