#3 Would have been bizarre to see Castro on the ballot. Still waiting for the Dems to put a Stalin into the mix.

#4 That weird "one nation / one destiny" locution is most likely a translation from Spanish. It's pure La Raza-speak.

In fact, the far-left Chicano nationalist La Raza is IIUC translated not as the Race but as the Nation

#7 Look at the freaks that the Dems threw up this past election cycle:

A Chicano nationalist who urged that men be allowed abortions on demand.

A house-flipping former defense attorney for Dow Chemical against women suffering from faulty implants who calls herself an enemy of ciroporations and champion of women-- and who scammed her way into a plum law faculty by falsely claiming to be a Cherokee Indian.

A guy who calls himself Spartacus and tells takes about his imaginary friend Harvey "T-Bone."

A leftier-than-thou fortune-hunting husband of a billionaire realtor, the former punk rocker and current skateboarder, dental exhibitionist with a fetish for "jokes" involving his own feces, who made up a Mexican diminutive nickname to pretend to have Mexican ancestry.

A woman who literally fucked her way into office, a pseudo-progressive former AG known mainly for abuses of power including forcing the re-imprisonment of a man whom her own office has established beyond all doubt was wrongfully convicted - and this woman claims to be a moralistic reformer.

An octogenarian angry socialist who has achieved absolutely nothing in 50 years of backbenching and mayoral gigs in a northern hippie backwater.

Hunter Biden's dad / James Biden's brother.

WTF? Is this really happening?
What a complete, utter, total Shitshow.

#8 One more observation: every one of these freaks passed through - one shudders to call them educated - one or more of our elite higher educational institutions. Among this merry band of Shitshow clowns are:
a Harvard faculty member;
a Harvard-educated lawyer;
a Yale lawyer;
a UC Berkeley lawyer;
one undergrad degree each from Stanford, U. Chicago, Columbia and Harvard;

... and finally, the only one not shaped by our prestigious, superior institutions of higher learning is the father of a crack addict whom he helped get into Yale law, the shit-for-brains noggidnik who slept with his brother's widow and used his father's influence to scam millions from corrupt government-linked companies located in two of the most corrupt places on earth.

These are our generation's Best and Brightest. Ponder that.

WTF has happened to our country to produce such a grotesque parade of mendacious, foolish, incompetent clowns?

#9 Well, none went to Mumford JR High.

#10 Do you mean Mumford HS - Ivan Boesky and Jerry Bruckheimer's alma mater?

#12 Liberalism is a mental defect. Clearly.

#13 His product didn't sell. The market place still operates though under heavy siege by the MSM and academia.

Classical Liberalism is still classical. Someone else appropriated the name. On the brink of extinction because of that appropriation.

"Classical liberalism is a political ideology and a branch of liberalism which advocates civil liberties under the rule of law with an emphasis on economic freedom."

You could have a rational discussion with those people.

All three of whom are low-experience opportunists running for vice president because they have no chance of winning the brass ring,

#15 His name is Castro. That should have been the end of it right there.

Would a GoFundMe page, "collections to castrate Castro" be to far out in the Bay of Pigs?
