Political Animal
Joe Biden needs to drop out of the presidential race
The DNC must present us with a presidential candidate whose ideas are sound and whose character is unsullied. Anything less, and we vote for an America where a whole generation of up and coming young boys will see sexual harrassment and assault as a grey area.
The Democratic field of candidates for the presidency waved as a harvest for a nation deprived of leadership. This year’s candidate would be a democratic socialist or a woman , or both.
Hope shriveled as all of my heroes were forced out, and only a weed remained — a thorny stalk pushed up through the asphalt.
Joe Biden, I should have known. Of course the DNC is going to prop up its political animal. I was sore from the punch to my aging lips, disappointed when I realized I’d be voting for an establishment man in November and one whose on-camera personality and debate style I didn’t like.
I perked up when Biden pledged to serve only one term. I grew hopeful when he pledged to choose a woman as his VP. I saw a future, and I felt confident that my candidate was making forward-thinking decisions.
