Caitlin: Biden is to the Democrats as Trump is to the Republicans
Biden Is Everything The Democrats Are: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
Joe Biden is not an “imperfect candidate” for the Democrats. He is the perfect candidate, because he’s everything the party is: Demented. Decrepit. Bloodthirsty. Corrupt. Cronyistic. Authoritarian. Reactionary. Rapey. He is exactly what they deserve. He is exactly what they are.
Joe Biden is the Democrat’s Democrat. He is the perfect representative of the party. They should even take it a step further and replace that donkey with Joe Biden.
Biden is to the Democrats as Trump is to the Republicans. Everyone’s just wearing their true face now.
~
If you’re willing to sacrifice all principles, all sanity and all morality to get rid of Trump, what exactly is the point of getting rid of Trump?
~
We know Biden is a liar. He’s been pinged for lying his whole career. Everyone is trying to undermine the victim’s character in order to discredit her while ignoring Joe’s character. We know he lies. He also has a history of unwanted sexual advances. His story is not credible.
~
Nobody actually believes that Biden didn’t sexually assault Tara Reade. Nobody’s actually confident that Creepy Uncle Hair Sniffer isn’t a rapist, they’re just pretending they are. I can understand saying “It’s possible but unproven”, but saying it’s false is so gross and dishonest.
They’re accusing Reade of lying for partisan reasons, when in reality that’s exactly what they are doing: they’re pretending they believe Handsy Joe Biden is incapable of shoving his fingers into a woman without her consent, and they are lying. Out of pure partisan loyalty.
~
It’s funny how refusing to support a literal dementia patient who has been credibly accused of rape for the world’s most powerful elected office is a very, very normal thing to do, yet people are acting like it’s bizarre and freakish.
~
Which looks more likely to you? (A) That Reade seeded a bunch of vicious lies about Senator Joe Biden in the 1990s with the intention of someday sabotaging his presidential bid in the distant future for some reason, or (B) that a powerful man sexually assaulted a woman?
~
It’s so weird how Joe Biden is a spent piece of leftover 1970s beltway flotsam made of plastic donor class dinner parties and AIPAC lobbying but everyone’s all pretending they like him as a person and stuff.
~
There are no fact-based and intellectually robust arguments for working within the establishment to manifest revolutionary agendas, but there are a lot of highly effective intellectually dishonest arguments for why it’s okay for you to pretend otherwise and go back to sleep.
~
“They destroyed the economy over a virus, but the narrative about the virus is completely fake!”
Perhaps. But so is the narrative about “the economy”.
~
Terence McKenna once said “We are led by the least among us. The least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary.” Can’t think of a better illustration of this than having Donald Trump versus Joe Biden competing for the most powerful elected office on the planet.
~
Hey remember when Trump provoked a missile retaliation that led to scores of injured US soldiers by assassinating Iran’s top military commander for no legitimate reason, lied about the whole thing, and then suffered no consequences or political repercussions of any kind? Good times.
~
Democrats are so fucking stupid and ridiculous that the Krassenstein brothers are still a thing.
~
All of humanity’s worst atrocities have been legal. Genocide. Slavery. Torture. The fact that you can squint at the imprisonment and extradition of a journalist for exposing US war crimes in such a way that makes it look “legal” does not mean it isn’t unforgivably evil.
~
It’s always about power. Power comes before everything, including profit, which is why you see escalations against nations who’d be very profitable to continue trading with and why critics of US foreign policy are attacked far more aggressively than critics of its domestic policy.
Manipulators understand that wealth control is a means to power and not an end in itself; that’s why you see things like Zuckerberg hurting his own profit margins by making changes to Facebook which make the platform less fun to use but shore up establishment narrative control.
Power trumps profit every time. Manipulators are driven ultimately by the desire to control as many humans as possible to the greatest extent possible. Money is a useful tool for accomplishing that, but in a pinch they’ll swap it out for military/police force or censorship etc.
Wealth is a narrative construct and can be gained or lost or made obsolete in a new narrative paradigm. Elite manipulators understand that it’s hard, nonconceptual control over hard, nonconceptual objects that gives them their actual alpha status over the rest of the humans.
~
“A newly democratized media environment has made it difficult for people to distinguish fact from fiction.”
‘Oh no! What do we do?’
“Censor everyone except authoritative news sources.”
‘Authoritative news sources? Like who?’
“The ones who lied about Russiagate and all the wars.”
~
As a general rule, indie media should not attack other indie media. If you’re not punching up, you’re punching down.
~
People ask me “Well, what should we do? How do we fix this thing?” And of course my only possible answer is, “Do what I’m doing! Or your version of it.” Of course I’m doing the thing I think we should do to solve the problems of our species. Why would I be doing anything else?
~
Revolution is an inside job. This is not an egoically pleasing fact, but it is a fact. It’s much more fun for egoic mind to believe both the problem and the solution exists in other people, but in reality the changes you can make in yourself will have far greater effects on the world.
There are vast, vast depths within all of us, and we are capable of making vast, vast changes to those depths. We are in fact far more capable of doing this than we are of changing the outside world through force of will. And interestingly when we do this, we do change the world. And we do it far more efficaciously than we can by trying to will it to conform with the noises in our babbling thinky brain.

Thanks snoop
I thought about posting the latest from Caitlin. I wish I could coerce her to do direct posting to this site but she's a very stable and warped individual.
I do think that adding her name to the post would help many more follow her.
Like such:
Biden Is Everything The Democrats Are: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix
by Caitlin Johnstone.
Please add her name to the subject. It's cheap advertizing to good spirit.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
That I just did
And before I read your comment. Great minds huh? I think this is one of her best essays. And I agree with you that it'd be awesome if she posted here. She has done a few ask me anything on way of the bern.
Caitlin has an essay on Tara Reade that's very good.
Now trending.
#IbelieveJoeBidenisarapist which was a great play on people who were saying that they believe Joe.
#Votebluenomatterwhorapesyou.
There are some very nasty tweets about people not believing her. DK has become a bigger cesspool and even a few women who were raped have said that this election is just too important to hold Biden accountable if had done it.
Daou nails it!
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
So this is what it's come to,
the Lesser Of Two Pussy-Grabbers, LOTPG.
There's the Red PG and the Blue PG.
Them's yer choices.
We need a 3rd party.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Heh....
I'd settle for an actual two with our current congress.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
There's a substantial difference between the two
One just bragged that he could grab any pussy he wanted because he was wealthy.
The other slipped his hand under the panties and actually grabbed the pussy (and much more).
Oh shizam!
I'm gunna have to steal this. Well played sir.

Are you saying that Trump is the LOTPG ?
That's a fine distinction.
Still, it seems like both of them share the same ideas about women, you know, how to meet chicks and make them like you.
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
That's what I've been wondering about
You'd think if he did, we'd all know his victims' individual names and stories by heart by now.

I'm not of fan of the A-hole, but we have to admit there is considerable truth in his words. Some women find money and fame irresistible and will use their body and charm to gain it. It's just a part of human nature...

I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
I can't believe our choice is
Red Perv or Blue Perv.
Either of them would treat our population of women with preconceived ideas about our best use, and for women in the "shit hole countries" or Muslim countries, or central and south American countries, neither would hesitate to drop a bomb, or sanction and starve the women (and their children).
I will make a little bet that neither men have had a woman of color step forward with a complaint.
They like their p---y white.

but it wouldn't matter.
Gotta keep that brown human down.
Only joe made fun of an off-white accuser. It didn't count because the accusation was against a brown man.
Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
Lots to look forward to
Might be some karma to see the homeless RWNJs and Negroes and Mexican Aliens all in the homeless tent cities, sharing swill.
How can you be a superior white who is living just like those heretofore hated POCs?

As did Bill Clinton!
Unlike many other Southern men (by their own tales) he only went for rather trashy cheap white women.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Oh and for the next six months --
we will have to endure Biden bullies telling us all over the Internet we love Trump if we say anything true about Joe Biden. As if we hadn't gotten used to Dem posturing for Worthless Candidate (D) as against Worthless Candidate (R) over the past forty years.
And the rhetoric they use to do their Biden bullying is horribly uncreative and composed of recycled postures from previous election cycles. It would be too dangerous to let Bush Junior become President, and too dangerous to let Junior have a second term, and too dangerous to let McCain or Romney become President, and too dangerous to let Trump become President, just like it's too dangerous to let Trump have a second term. Remember, too, that this is the most consequential Presidential election in American history, just like the Presidential elections of 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000 were also the most consequential Presidential elections in American history.

Too true
For what its worth another accusation against Biden
Biden told 14 yo girl that she was well endowed
Did the democrats really think that more women wouldn't come forward? Hopefully the floodgates will open. But then Joe is just Joe or boys will be boys?
DCOTN in rest to this story.
- And definitely should attach Putin’s interference in US affairs to this situation.

This one isn’t true because
the accuser is related to a former opponent of Biden or something and clearly is a Russian/Republican/Lovecraftian Horror asset.
That's probably because
she made the hair on his legs "come back up".
Why O Why
Are our upper echelon politicians so OLD btw? None of them can coherently form a sentence. Looking at you Biden, Trump AND Pelosi...but to be fair when Pence finally decided to speak I was genuinely surprised that he could formulate a sentence, which, regardless of the fact that he is a horrible human being, it was actually nice to hear after being forced to listen to Trump, Pelosi and Biden's ramblings and stutterings. It gave my ears a much needed break.
That being said, it is a damn shame that these old assholes are signaling that we should begin to pay attention to such bottom feeders like (the young) Mayor Pete and Jared. Just like I suppose Strom Thurmond gave us the okay that Biden should follow in HIS footsteps. These mofos are to be our future leaders? They are signaling to us that this sht show will never end. Just one horrible person after another. And everyone is falling in line...looking at you Stacey Abrams and Kristin Gillibrand. Shame on you as women, but I suppose you guys are following YOUR previous old person...Hillary.
Well done is better than well said-Ben Franklin
So much to think about in this
The foundation of the modern democratic party is that they are morally superior, full of goodness and caring, protector of the weak. The righter of wrongs, champions of the working class. Whether they actually believe their own propaganda or cynically exploit the past to mine votes I can't say, but that's their story.
But a party that votes to move legislation that promotes war, harm their constituents and raise up the wealthy becomes indistinguishable from the opposition party that promotes the same thing. Still the democrats are outraged when people comment there is no difference between the parties.
That's truest when it comes to the senate. The senate is the place where income inequality comes to roost. It is there that in all demographics the democrats and republicans are mostly indistinguishable. At least in the sense that they are wealthy enough to be so far removed from the people they govern that they may as well be of another species.
Everyone talks about "Soylent Green", it's people!! but there was a scene where Heston, in an investigation of one of the wealthy questions a woman in a penthouse. The wealthy got food and furnished apartments. The woman was listed as furniture because they came with the apartment, for sex and maid work, just like the chairs, tables, beds.
That is how women without power look to them, how in most ways we look to them. So, why should Biden be any different? He's spouting the democratic mythology while doing the opposite, and very comfortable with it. Why is he the believable one?
Your comment is pure gold. It is a distillation of
the party known as Democratic.
