So...it's official, Joe Biden has cancer. He has an aggressive, advanced form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. And to get the obvious out of the way, I hope he beats the odds here, because that isn't good. Get well soon, buddy. Get well soon.
Now that that's out of the way, let's...discuss the political implications of this. A lot of lefties, haven't been very charitable to the guy, and I kinda have to agree with them. Vaush is starting to sound like me. It's weird. I normally despise the guy's opinions on electoralism and the democratic party as he's always been this "anarcho bidenist" type who was simultaneously more left than me but then swinging back around to be an insufferable neolib apologist and arguing we must vote blue to beat the fascists, even before i would consider trump an outright fascist. And I've always been a more moderate person more willing to critique the democrats. But now, Vaush is going on about how the democrats F-ed us with their culture of not questioning the establishment, they forced this old guy on us that no one liked, and we got Trump BECAUSE OF HIM. Because he was prideful. he insisted he could win, the data wasnt on his side. They covered up his cognitive decline, hell, let's discuss this, they MIGHT have covered THIS crap up. Like, people are saying, who are in the know, this dude's cancer had to have been cooking for a long time. You can detect prostate cancer from a simple PSA blood test. This dude has LATE STAGE cancer that's spread to his bones, and this is just a sudden thing that JUST happened? And tomorrow, a book comes out about the Biden coverup. I'm wondering if this is in the book and they hid it all this time, and now they can't. Because that one has a lot of bombshells the public isn't aware of.
So, they covered the fact that this guy was in cognitive decline. They may have covered his cancer. He might've been DOA while running but they hid this because they didnt want to blow up the party.
Hell, a lot of commentators I've been listening to tonight, not just Vaush, but Sam Seder, Hasan, they're all talking about how the dems basically pushed this old guy on us to beat Bernie. And they're finally willing to admit that, hey, identity politics is a cudgel! These people are using idpol to basically bully people into supporting centrists. Now, i do believe these guys have legit convictions in the idpol sphere. Even I have some, even as an anti woke guy, I still recognize that intellectually those ideas have validity, it's just that they're toxic. And whatever the dems are doing themselves to try to cover stuff up and spin things to keep control of the narrative, i feel like at least the independent online left is willing to actually have honest discussions about this crap. Like, basically, everything I've been saying for the past decade has been right.
At the same time, I will concede, their desire to not have the dems lose to donald trump, ESPECIALLY in 2024, was also right. I mean, even i admitted that and "bent the knee" somewhat just to stop this psycho from being elected. And we failed. And now people are pissed at the dems, because they denied us a fair process to actually hash stuff out, and even in 2020, they basically went all in with bernie just to F us over and keep neoliberal control of the party. The neolibs are the problem. They always have been. And they need to go away. PEACEFULLY. Wanna make that clear given we're in this trump era where anything remotely like, suspicious can be construed as a threat. Not threatening anyone with violence. Go away means to be beaten at the ballot box, or to F off and retire because half these people are Biden's age and some of them themselves have cancer. But yeah.
Joe, hope you don't suffer too much and you are among those who actually beat this. Again, wouldnt wish this on anyone. But yeah, I do understand why people are pissed here. Anyway, let's see what bombshells "original sin" drops. That'll be interesting.
