Go Joe GO!

He Said / She Said

      He said:  Readers don’t panic and keep your head.  The great poet Rudyard Kipling wrote, “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs…”

Nicole, you and I both would advocate that the readers fully participate in safety. In addition, putting a COMPETENT leader in office in this crisis. Be Safe – vote by Mail! If you act now in the next couple of weeks you can get registered to be on the roster for a free postage ballot to submit a healthy safe vote from home ballot.  Nicole, do you think this is a wise idea? In addition, what are your comments on who “Uncle Joe will pick as the Female V.P. running mate?”

She said: Whoa brother, it’s not that easy! The USPS is in deep financial trouble and could be bust by June. Congress hoped to buck them up in the next stimulus package, but Trump said he would veto the bill if it includes bailing out the post office. His attitude screams voter suppression since voting by mail is the only safe way in the midst of a pandemic. Another step toward dictatorship, my friends.

Time for some grassroots action! If we all committed to buying one sheet of stamps ($11), it would send billions to the USPS and kill Trump’s little scheme. Would you spend $11 if that’s what it took to vote these monsters out of office? Heck, at this point I’d give up my first-born to vote safely!

He said: We would all spend .49 postage if it came to that. However, Congress has decades ago mandated that postage for electoral balloting is free!

What the readers would like to intake is your supposition on who the female running mate “Uncle Joe” will pick? My argument is for Hilary Clinton. She has 16 years of experience. 8 years as 1st lady and 8 years as Secretary of State. Plus 8 years as the junior U.S. Senator from the great state of New York. That is a tough resume for anyone else to contrast. She might also have the personal cell phone numbers of Vice President Biden and President Obama. If she ever had a query she could roll over and say “Bill…”  Now I ask you do Senator Elizabeth Warren or Senator Amy Klobuchar have a resume to compete? You would give the office to Trump if you ran a Black female this quickly after the 1st Black president. Trump’s supporters would risk the virus and wait in lines to prevent Senator Kamala Harris from being a heartbeat away from the oval office.

She said: It grinds me every time women are relegated to the passenger seat. I wanted Hilary as POTUS, not VP! Trump supporters are not going to come over to our side no matter who Biden picks, so it might as well be someone WE like! I don’t know about you, but younger White Dems are moving left. Biden is a centrist, so someone more progressive would balance the ticket. We could all have what we want! Did you notice Obama’s big hint last week about Elizabeth Warren??
