Keeping up with Biden

Chat about a topic supported by books, TED Talks, podcasts, personal experience, philosophies of mankind mingled with humor (shout out to IOT), and maybe we’ll even do a google hangout or conference call once a month.

About the same time as Mayan Elephant.
You can evade my points if you want, but I will think less of you. I would for once like to have a honest conversation about this so-called switch between the Democrat and Republican party.

Looks like Biden is out. OK by me, but do Democratic voters really want Kamala? Weirdness abounds.

Pete Buttigieg has the attributes of being the smartest, most honest, capable, and healthiest candidate, but he is also gay.

This would cause Utah to immediately secede from the Union (but that alone is not enough to garner sufficient votes for Buttigieg).
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Meet Kamala Harris’s holistic thought advisor Dahlia Rose Hibiscus, who is deeply committed to helping the Vice President translate words into idea voyages. Hibiscus preaches the practice of speaking without thinking and encourages Harris to describe her journeys, molding our Vice President into a meditative guru.

Although I'm not a big fan of woo, at least it's far more benign than Christian Nationalism.

Republicans: "Joe is too feeble and mentally incompetent. The Democrats are crazy for running him. He should resign."

Biden succumbs to reason and resigns from the race.

Republicans: "That's cheating! The Democrats are pulling an evil switcheroo by doing exactly what we said they need to!"

Christian Nationalism (Fascism) is exactly what Trump will give us in his 2nd term.
