But the only thing that matters is getting rid of Trump!!

In the big picture, right now, kinda, yeah. If the other option is to not get rid of Trump, then yes, Biden or bust. I look downstream at people like AOC and co, who will have a voice if Biden is elected. If he is not, then we get Trump and that would be orders of magnitude worse. I see hope in getting actual progressives (small “p”) in the House, who will over time move up to the Senate. And hopefully, the White House. But for now, in my mind, this is a survival moment. Biden might have been my last pick (well, no Gabbert was that) but he is who we have. And jettisoning Il Douche is the number one priority, followed by taking the Senate and keeping the House. Do all that and we might just get somewhere.

That all overlooks what I meant to (snarkily) say, which is that in the rush to get rid of Trump, so many of us who are desperate to replace him with Biden often lose sight of just how awful Biden is.

This one made my head spin:
Biden’s newest donors:
Jerry Hall, wife of Rupert Murdoch
Spouse’s net worth: $16.7 billion *
Source of wealth: Newspaper, TV network
Contributions: $500 **
All kinds of questions: (1) Jerry Hall is married to Murdoch? How did I miss that? (2) How do you go from Bryan Ferry to Mick Jagger to Rupert Fucking Murdoch? (3) Jerry Hall is worth $16.7 billion? (4) $500? If you’re worth $16.7 billion how do you come up with $500 as an amount to donate to someone?

Party? Write-in?
I wonder if he even knows that to run for POTUS you need to do more than tweet out your candidacy.

He has to build a special minisub to do that.

He’s just pulling a Trump. Trying to pump up his business by running for President.
And trying to help his boy Donnie, of course.

Someone pointed out elsewhere that West has a bipolar disorder and doesn’t take his medication. This is less a publicity stunt or a joke, and more a case of a mentally ill person doing something reckless and self-destructive, and because he’s rich and successful, nobody is able or willing to step in and tell him he needs help.

Everything a person who has a mental illness does isn’t a symptom of that illness.
And you can’t seriously be saying that a guy who who’s smart and capable enough to become as successful as he is did so without being largely- though not solely- responsible for their success.

I’m not? I’m just saying that this presidential candidate stunt seems reckless and weird.
You’re pretty clearly saying that this run is a symptom of his having a mental illness.
