Joe Biden has made his pick and has a powerful and experienced vice-presidential candidate by his side. The merchant of malice (MOM) has made his pick i.e. to continue his appeal to America's darker side. The substantial residue of racism, sexism, anti-gay and lesbian sentiment, and most immediately dangerous the pretense that Covid-19 will just go away. The numbers are going up more than 160,000 Americans are dead and the infected number racing well past 600,000. The presence of pockets of infection where the virus rages totally out of control probably means that it will spread to areas that are considered safe.
The lies that have been told about children's immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus by MOM are contradicted by reports from England and France indicating child infection rates as high as 20 to 40% and SARS multisystem hemorrhagic disease rates of 10 to 15%. Please note the authoritarian technique of cutting off communication with world sources and proffering the big lie.
The assault on the postal service in order to eliminate vote by mail is another cynical authoritarian act harming us all. The best interests of Americans is not an extension of self-interest, Joe Biden is a wealthy man, his VP selection is a billionaire by virtue of her interracial marriage inequities in health care and social network benefits will require congressional support and judicial system authorization. To get to this complex adjustment, the right to vote must be protected. We will have to hope that Firstism around the world is contained enough to give us time.
