Rewriting history. Democrats voted in primaries and wanted Joe Biden. WHAT? DEMOCRATS VOTED AND WANTED BERNIE SANDERS. BIDEN WAS PICKED IN A SMOKE FILLED ROOM. Biden is Out, Harris is in with John Stewart, Doris Kearns Goodwin & Eugene Daniels

Like President Biden I’m 81. I’ve been a Democrat since my 3rd grade class “voted” for Adele Stevenson in 1952. 

Doris Kearns Goodwin:

"I mean, why aren’t the best people running for office now?

Because they know they’re going to have to spend their time raising money, tons and tons of money. 

They know their private lives are going to be exposed."

I have something to add. In 2024 when people who run for office private lives are exposed they need to hire armed security for protection against threats on their lives and their family's lives.

The short take:

John Stewart:

“We have an electoral, industrial 

complex that needs to be broken up.”

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Well you know what John? We created these problems. We can solve these problems. We can change things. We can have a political revolution. We can make it so that money is not in politics. We can do these things.  

I mean, why aren’t the best people running for office now?

Because they know they’re going to have to spend their time raising money, tons and tons of money. 

They know their private lives are going to be exposed.

They don’t think they’re going to get much done because the two parties are at loggerheads. 

We’ve created these problems by the system we’ve created. We can change that system.
