The Democratic Lock Down

[AURex 2,030]

 

Despite his many major achievements, there are questions about Biden. Age is a common criticism by those supporting a candidate only a few years younger.

But there is one Democrat who could easily (and I do mean *easily*) beat Trump or any other Republican in 2024.

Michele Obama

It would be no contest. Moreover, she would be a great 1st woman president of the U.S.

Of course, this is just my opinion. And I hear the wailing anguish from the right. hahaha

You're probably right, but there are plenty of other good candidates that could also beat Trump.

Here's one I just learned of: Jared Golden

I'm sure there are plenty more.

Jeff Jackson out of NC was created in a lab to be a US President. No really, there is a rumor going around that he's some kind of AI creation. If you don't know who he is, you better learn today! His tik tok channel is awesome. This guy needs to run for president.

Looks like Michelle learned from Hillary's failed attempts to be the President.

And other than being married to a former president, how exactly would she be a "great 1st woman president"?

If she was "hated" it was not because of her color, but for statements like her statement below and for her support of the Democratic party platform. Show me where "so many" on the right called Dr. Condoleeza Rice the N word.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change."

Remember When Condoleezza Rice Was Called a ‘House Nigga’?

That didn’t take long. U.N. ambassador Susan Rice has yet to be nominated as secretary of state, but prominent Democrats are already denouncing opposition to her potential nomination as racist on the basis of remarks by Republican senators that she may not be qualified for the job. Would that they had been so sensitive to racial overtones back in 2004, when the African-American nominee for secretary of state, the Republican Ms. Rice, was denounced on the Senate floor and pilloried in racialist cartoons.

Good Riddance, Susan Rice

Jim Geraghty

Rice’s nomination, noted the Washington Post, garnered “the most negative votes cast against a nominee for that post in 180 years.” As the Senate debated her nomination, Senator Barbara Boxer charged that Rice “frightened the American people” into supporting the Iraq War; Senator Jim Jeffords accused her of being part of an effort to “distort information” in the service of “political objectives”; and Senator Pat Leahy, who voted in her favor, endorsed her by saying that her tenure as national-security adviser lacked “strong leadership, openness, and sound judgment.”  

But the remarks of Senate Democrats paled in comparison to the material served up by America’s humorists. Syndicated cartoonist Ted Rall depicted Rice proclaiming herself Bush’s “house nigga.”

Rall’s depiction was followed months later by that of Jeff Danziger of the New York Times Syndicate. Danziger drew a big-lipped, barely literate Condoleezza Rice, nursing the aluminum tubes cited by the White House as evidence of Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

By all accounts, the Democratic Ms. Rice has received far more delicate treatment at the hands of politicians and the media. During an otherwise uneventful stint as ambassador to the United Nations, she is now under fire for attributing the Benghazi attacks to “a hateful and offensive video” on five Sunday morning news programs. In the wake of these comments, Senator John McCain described her as “not being very bright,” and stated that, “if she didn’t know better, she’s not qualified” to be secretary of state. Senator Lindsey Graham noted, “I don’t trust her,” and that “if she didn’t know better, she shouldn’t be the voice of America.”#more#

MSNBC executive and former Newsweek White House correspondent Richard Wolffe spent Monday night parsing the aspects of John McCain’s racial animus. Wolffe seemed even to surprise host Chris Matthews — not exactly shy about identifying racism in the GOP — who asked, incredulously, “You’re saying that McCain is being driven by racial prejudice here?” According to Wolffe, “There is no other way to look at this.”

Matthews pointed out the seemingly inconsistent fact that McCain supported Condoleezza Rice’s nomination to the State Department, but Wolffe easily saw past that. McCain’s support for Rice in 2004, he explained, is further evidence of his racism. “John McCain said the people — the Democrats who were questioning Condi Rice’s credential — they were just engaged with bitterness, they needed to move on,” Wolffe said. “Why has he changed his tune? What is it about Susan Rice?” The question, obviously, is rhetorical.

Wolffe is not alone. Ohio congresswoman Marcia Fudge noted sorrowfully, “It is a shame that anytime something goes wrong, they [Republicans] pick on women and minorities.” South Carolina congressman Jim Clyburn took things a step further, telling CNN on Tuesday that he hears racial “code words” in Republican opposition to Rice’s nomination. Those are words such as “incompetent.” “These kinds of terms that those of us — especially those of us who were grown and raised in the South — we’ve been hearing these little words and phrases all of our lives and we get insulted by them,” Clyburn said.

And hey, what’s being called a “house nigga” when there are racists lurking out there using code words like “incompetent”? 

 

Jm there are a few more but i showed you proof of one instant so you can feel free to go look at others.

Yeah....this does not really show where many on the right called her the N word. In fact the mention of someone doing that is a cartoonist that has liberal leanings. Although, it looks like he is an equal opportunity offender. If anything you pointed out a lefty that is racist.

i misspoke what i meant to say. i said many but it only take one. but also i worked with a bunch of repubs that did not in fact care for her and called her the n word. one i remember well was bush had to keep a quota of blacks and that was how she got the job. can i prove it? no but i sure heard it.

The only "Democratic Lockdown" is the party's ability to keep progressives out of any real leadership positions. 

This country desperately needs progressive (government, economic) policies/reform with conservative implementation.

This part you should pay attention to fifty.  You have a Congresswoman saying criticism of Condoleezza Rice is picking on women and minorities.  You have Clyburn of South Carolina saying he sees *code words* in criticism like *incompetent*.  What the media and Democrats are saying is you can’t criticize a person of color for anything as it will be seen as racist and will be shut down.  No critiques at all, every person of color or minority is doing a great job.  Have you heard from Fudge and Clyburn about the firing of Susan Rice?  No and you won’t because Biden fired her.  No code words in her firing.

You will not be convinced of any bias from the left, but it’s there in plane sight.  You have to take what the media says with a grain of salt.

i am talking the N word and not bias so why change the subject? i would have brought it up if i was.you want to act like there is no racism in this country and all i can do is laugh. it has never gone away and we see proof every day and now you guys change the narrative of what racism is. it is ugly and will probably not get much better until whites are a minority which is getting close and why repukes gerrymander to try and stay in power. and for the record the left is not and has never been perfect. if we wer such bit haters all the white nationalists would be in our party.
