Biden replacement and what this is really about
The primaries have been held, the delegates won, promised, and the conventions are just around the corner. But now, since the June 27th debate, there is nothing but drama about replacing a candidate. All this drama has brought one thing into focus: the Washington establishment in general, and the Democrat Party in particular, has replaced “people” with “party” as the central word in Lincoln’s famous quote, clearly calling for a government of, by, and for the party; calling for Biden to step down for the good of the party, not the nation. This election isn’t about saving democracy; it’s about the power and control – for the party – the people are just things to manipulate with party propaganda and media control to either protect or dispose of the candidate they choose in order to win – and the American people are the losers.

Newsom/Harris top picks
Sure, why not have the worst California governor in history and the worst vice president in history run the country. Can’t do much worse than the current group.

This suggestion puts the ‘cart before the horse’
Until President Joe Biden decides to step-down, I support him for re-election. Recently, he showed himself to be strong as our commander-in chief when defending NATO during a forceful speech delivered as host to world leaders in Washington D.C. last week. While there are several potentially strong Democratic candidates, such as Gov. Gavin Newsom, to select one as better is the “cart before the horse” type of thinking.

Voters need more choices
I believe a true Democratic election process should provide voters more than two choices. There are several other candidates that receive no exposure from your publications. How are we truly able to make informed choices without more effort to educate the voters regarding more choices? Is the control of the Democrats and Republicans such that it makes no financial sense to discuss other candidates?
