AOC: Democratic leadership who want to replace Biden have no plan what to do next. None.

The Democratic leaders want to remove Harris as well as Biden, she says.
AOC is disgusted that the leadership is bringing this up now rather than months ago when we had a lot more options and time to plan.
independent.co.uk, thehill.com and newrepublic.com.
The only three Democratic leaders who make sense are AOC, Bernie Sanders, and my own Congressional Rep. Sara Jacobs. As a whole, the national Democratic Party is a bunch of idiots. The Republicans are even bigger idiots, and they’re Nazis too.
Today, I learned that Friday is POETS Day in England.
It stands for “Piss Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday.”
On Reddit: “My grandma on Christmas day, 1952. She recently passed and we found this photo of her with a gun as a 17 year old. She was a classy lady so it’s fun to see her as a wild child.” reddit.com
What recent events?
Anything goes wrong today, blame Crowdstrike.

My husband was slowing down. He needed protecting. wapo.st A moving essay by Sally Quinn, widow of Ben Bradlee, about his final descent into dementia.
Occasionally, Bradlee would snap back to his old, fierce self. Is that what we’re seeing with Biden?

How Things Work: Labor can become more powerful if unions organize the 90% of American workers who don’t belong. Sucking up to Republicans is not the answer.
Making the Republican Party less hostile to the interests of the working class is a nice goal but if you think that this will be the result of electing a fascist who tried the steal the last election and who famously stiffs people who work for him and who is an egomaniac and who has never supported the electoral agenda of unions and who lies constantly and who is running on a racist platform of demonizing immigrants—you are stupid. You are a patsy if you think this.
