There are just too many unanswered questions: just pretend I am a naive student in an American High School, taking a course in American government, and I would have the audacity to ask: “How is it that President Biden is not fit to run for president, but he is fit to be president? Is that not a conundrum?” Under such circumstances, how will the replacement be picked; I also think the Democratic Party is not fit to be a party!!
Something tells me, I would be in trouble just for asking!
Even searching for the answer is rather perplexing, as you get the usual political rhetoric, as Trump says, “Biden Was ‘Not Fit to Run’ For President,” and if true, then logic would have it that he is also not fit to be president. The ongoing public and media debate about President Biden’s age and mental acuity to date is a convenient distraction, as many would question whether or not he is REALLY running the show, and this goes beyond his performance in debates and interviews.
We should question why Joe Biden has no intention of resigning, thereby letting the VP take over, and why is he “looking forward to finishing his term and delivering more historic results for the American people.” However, it is more revealing as to why he would insist on holding on until the last, considering he has already endorsed VP Kamala Harris for the presidential race, upon withdrawing, of course, “for the sake of protecting democracy”.
Democracy does not Count 4-MUCH
Thus, Joe Biden and his minions should feel safe and secure in knowing that Kamala will pick up where he left off, or does he know something that we are not privy to? We are taught that change comes from the ballot box, at least in theory, according to Freedom House, i.e., a key element of democracy is the peaceful transfer of power that comes via elections. What they focus on most is what is the most insidious thing within the election system–they need not go far to look for what they claim
But as we have seen with elections in France and the UK, elections are not what they used to be. They are rigged before voters even have the opportunity to cast their votes. The whole system is rigged from the get-go, and most people are clueless and wait for the election result with bated breath, it is as if one party prevailing over another is going to make one iota of difference in their lives.
“They” have it all covered
What’s in it for him to remain the figurehead anyway? What perks is he getting? They will switch out Harris at the last minute, perhaps during the Democratic National Convention? I ask as I don’t think she can stand a Chinaman’s chance in hell against Trump, and that they will bring in a ringer at the last moment.
Fitness to Run vs. Fitness to Serve
If someone is deemed unfit to run for president, it logically follows for most people that they would also be unfit to serve as president. This is the core of the conundrum as highlighted thus far, albeit, this is just the begging of such a discussion. I have my suspicions that it is only to avoid the position that, if she did win (and I can only see that happening through vote rigging) then they wish to avoid a situation where she has already served one term, as even 100 days would count against the 2 term limit.
As someone told me just the other day, the answer is: He is fit to run for president but won’t be fit enough at the end of the next term. And this isn’t about his fitness so much as do we think he can beat Trump. Fitness doesn’t really matter because he only signs bills and does press conferences. I’m quite sure an administration could function without the president. So he quit because he can’t beat Trump, not because he doesn’t think he could hold office. And the timing right after Trump’s VP pick and Republican National Convention shows Biden still has a little cleverness left.
Who is Kamala Harris, her chances, and in fact, would Kamala rule America, or Biden, OR?
Basically, she is a laughing fool selected for being a person of mixed race, and a woman. I understand that if Kamala Harris’s poll numbers are not good enough by the time of the Democratic Convention, the powers that be, [they] have already decided to substitute her with Mark Kelly, a Senator from Arizona. I really don’t know much about him, other than what is being published in the MSM. Only that he was an astronaut, he is married to a journalist who got shot somehow and severely wounded but did not die.
It is interesting that the Democratic Party claims Trump will destroy democracy, but Biden’s party have fought tooth and claw to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from running legitimately, thereby interrupting the democratic process. The democrats kept Biden in office long after he should have been forced to step down, and now they’re going to let unelected appointed delegates (electors) determine who our next presidential nominee will be for the Democratic Party.
There is a broader concern about election integrity, with allegations that elections in general are rigged, which undermines public trust in the democratic process. This adds another layer of skepticism about the motivations and actions of political leaders and parties.
There is more than a perceived disconnect between Biden’s fitness to run for office and his ability to serve as president. This reflects broader concerns about political strategy, election integrity, and the functioning of democracy. It raises questions about the motivations and actions of political parties and leaders, and the extent to which they are transparent and accountable to the public.
America: Flagship of Democracy
The United States proclaims itself to be the Flagship of Democracy, rule of law and all things good. It is the Neocon ideology which has infected many, if not all, major western political parties to one extent or another via think tanks, NGOs, and lobbying (corruption) from the military industrial complex that dominates the west in general, and (the US in particular). The movement is responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and its adherents are well known for both their visceral hatred of Russia, and extreme blind love for Zionist Israel.
Both main parties are suffering from the same sickness, and it may be terminal. As is only too obvious now, the party has been manipulating circumstances to maintain power, and fool the voters, with the eventual plan of replacing VP Kamala Harris with another candidate before or during the Democratic National Convention, if her poll numbers and electability does not make the mark—and even if she was elected, early into her term.
America: Flagship of Democracy or Rusty Hull?
Who cares about what worries most Americans amongst the major candidates, regarding scary stuff, I’ll tell you what scary stuff is:
-Open borders, no nation is secured with open borders.
-Endless wars. No good can come to a country that continually fuels endless wars.
-Endless inflation, no country can secure its place in the future when it is economically doomed to failure.
-Taxing the poor and retirees with endless inflation.
-Diverting the attention of the public over the device of issues keeps us from focusing on the big picture.
-Road blocking good democracy. Blocking legitimate candidates from running to protect the status quo of a two-party system.
He was not declared unfit to run for President, but he was already the oldest one ever elected, and election strategy for the winning of the Presidency likely had a very large part in his decision to drop out of the race, but not resigns.
There is more than a perceived disconnect between Biden’s fitness to run for office and his ability to serve as president. Sometimes a burden, or illness, a restrictive element, is necessary to restrain a man from doing the wrong thing, but then the obstruction clears, and the right path has been chosen as a result.
The answer is: He is fit to run for president but won’t be fit enough at the end of next term. And this isn’t about his fitness so much as do we think he can beat Trump. Fitness doesn’t really matter because he signs bills and does press conferences. I’m quite sure an administration could function without the president. So, he quit because he can’t beat Trump, not because he doesn’t think he could hold office.
And timing right after Trump VP pick and the Republican National Convention shows Biden has a little cleverness left.
However, a little bit, but not enough because Harris is in charge of the US-Mexican border. Immigrants are the bad guys du jour this year. The Democrats walked right into that particular baseball bat.
Besides, it makes little difference, as we have seen the real president of the USA address a joint session of congress to rapturous applause and standing ovations…
