Deliciously biting language (the title merits special recognition!) in laying out a Biden (system-) damning case chock full of facts that every self-respecting progressive should know and digest. "Repolarization," indeed, though on-the-ground organizational leadership to effect it is scarce, no? Avakian and the RevComs argue that now is a "rare time" for rapid developments toward emancipatory revolution, including leadership development. It's not evident, though (at least not from what I can see on the revcom.us website) where and how this leadership development is taking place.

We can't forget the contribution that was made to this nightmare, by our almost-Queen Mother, Hillary Clinton, when she and the Democrat National Committee invented the pied-piper strategy, which resulted in the intentional selling of Donald Trump as the GOP nominee, in 2016. When news of this nonsensical action reached the public, via a whistleblower (from within the Clinton-DNC organization) providing Wikileaks with the e-mail evidence, Clinton and her buddies began Russiagate in order to divert attention from the actual, reported, events, and insisted upon ending Wikileaks and its leader, Julian Assange. When 2020 found a large number of candidates vying for the Democrat presidential nomination, Biden was given little chance to secure the spot; the very history which your fine article sets forth was well documented, not just in print media of the time, but preserved on video and widely distributed on the internet. In short, he was never, ever, going to get the nomination....until, Eisenhower-Republican Obama, within days of the 2020 Super-Tuesday primary voting, told all the other candidates to drop out of the race, and endorse Biden. They did. All empires end, eventually; this one might be thermonuclear. I haven't voted for a Democrat for President, since George McGovern, in 1972, and doubt that I ever will again. Thanks for your thoughtful and well written work. I always look forward to your next appearance.
