US President Biden and the US Presidential election

In a decision that had unfortunately become inevitable, after a long and well  acknowledged career in public service, US President Biden has  ended his re-election campaign. 

This was inevitable partly because of Biden’s health and performance problems, but also because of some of the most inept, incompetent, one-sided, pro-Trump reporting by the media that I have ever seen. 

The media's incompetence/bias was dressed up as bothsidesism, which is often inherently farcical, but I have read some pointed criticisms about the vulnerabilities and commercial priorities of a number of media outlets. 

At one time, I would like to have been a journalist, and there are some excellent journos still around, but mainstream platforms in the USA have become conservative and thus inherently biased ... and anti-human existence when they indulge in/include climate crisis denialism - or even fail to cover the crisis ...

I hope whoever becomes the Democrat nominee starts using some of the  ads that Kamala Harris has used before - and I would like to see Kamala  Harris as the Democrat candidate. She has flaws (who doesn't?), but she would likely energise the US voters and thus address their amathiac optional voting problem - and this resets a lot of issues. 

Assuming Kamala does become the candidate (and that is looking likely - she is off to a good start), a talented friend of mine in the US has come up with the below imagery: 

I will likely add more over time to this post.

 

 

 Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
  

 

If they are of any use of interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.

Note that, as with my main blog [see here], I am cutting back on aspects of my posts.

Remember: we need to be more human being rather than human doing, and all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering”.
