IT IS WHAT IT IS .....

 

As Mr. Trump and his oligarchy and their GOP blind followers are working furiously 24/7 to sabotage every chance his Democratic opponent and every Democratic politician's chance they have at winning the November elections, they want to suppress votes, kill institutions like the post office, spread lies and fake news, to stop any Democratic advance, break their spirit and demoralize Democratic and independent voters totally. 

Joe Biden's message to the nation is: " We have too often allowed our differences to prevail among us, we have too often allowed ambitious men to play off those differences for political gain. We have often retreated behind our differences when no one really tried to lead us beyond them. But all our differences hardly measure up to the values we all hold in common ... I want to make the system work again, and I'm convinced that is what all Americans really want. 

Well, honestly Mr. Biden, I don't share your optimism and honest morality, and I frankly don't believe all Americans are so loving and caring for each other, and looking for the ideal system that will work for everyone on equal footing, an egalitarian socio-economical-humanitarian-moral system for all, not internally or internationally, we are witnessing a good third of the population following blindly and willingly, enthusiastically a fascistic, pro conspiracy fanatic, a wheeler dealer who is determined to wreck the country and its democracy, its institutions and people for his own personal benefit and electoral ambitions. Your kind words and intentions Mr. Biden do not come up nor stand to the situation we're facing. 

What is happening nowadays in America with its internal politics, foreign policies, elections, with its civility at all levels, its widening inequitable wealth distribution, its efforts to rebuild the country's infrastructure, its education at all levels, its health system and response to dangerous pandemics, on the brink of war in more than a place, it is all becoming a huge farce, a joke, a politicized tool, a personal glorifying game, these cases and many more similar ones, make it appear that the simpletons, the idiots, the fanatic zealots have obviously taken over the asylum, and only the rapid institution of some sane rules is going to bring back life and politics to a semblance of sanity, normalcy and progress. 

finally, and to sum it up, I have to say , that the great Democratic convention, was more of a nice Broadway joyous and merry show than a serious responsible political convention, especially considering the ill fated times America is going through, and the havoc the Trump legacy is leaving behind, it was more entertainment and less substance, more artistry and make-up and less sobriety, maybe it reflects the 21st century American mood and nonchalance toward our existential problems and politics in general, IT'S SHOW TIME AND THE SHOW MUST CONTINUE !!!

          As always, my many thanks to all, stay safe.
