I
find it wildly amusing that Democrats are apparently terrified of
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and his (gasp) socialism. Never mind
that perhaps two out of ten Americans could even
explain what socialism is.
To
blunt its headlong march across the United States, they last Tuesday turned
to former Vice-President Joe Biden and clutch at him like a child
does a favorite stuffed animal. “Save us, Joe!”
Kindly
ignore the fact that of the six candidates recently pursuing the
Democratic nomination, only Biden has an Achilles heel (his son's
lucrative position with a Ukrainian energy company) Donald Trump can stand on and mercilessly exploit until November.
But
at least we won't be subsumed by Bernie Sanders' socialism.
We
can stretch out, fold our hands behind our heads and relax in the
radiant warmth of four more years of Donald Trump and his oligarchy's
rape and pillage.
I
have never desired more-urgently to be wrong.
