The unsolvable Democrat dilemma
By Ed Sherdlu

Shed a tear for the Democrat donkey. Democrats in Washington face a newly intensified disaster-level dilemma. It is becoming more obvious each day Joe Biden cannot survive another 39 months in office. Even the most conservative Republicans admit Joseph Biden will probably live at least another 46 months. However, Democrats, like everyone else, realize Biden cannot now and never will be able to “execute the office of President of the United States,” to quote the oath he took only nine months ago.

Unfortunately for all Americans, the Constitution mandates what happens on the day they finally wheel Biden out of the Oval Office and into the Delaware State Home for the Bewildered. Kamala Harris becomes president. D.C. Democrats privately admit that, even on her best day, Ms. Harris does not have a small fraction of the talent required to be president. Her latest public appearance in Europe was a political and PR disaster.

Democrat friends, please do not be upset with the above. This is not a comment on her political beliefs. Bizarre as this may be, rational political beliefs are not a requirement to be president of the United States. Just ask anyone who voted for Bernie Sanders.

From the article:
"Of course, we, the taxpayers who are required to pay the bills caused by Washington's daily fiascoes, would love to know a simple answer to this dilemma.  However, both Republicans and Democrats understand that there is no simple answer to this critical question.  In fact, regardless of political persuasion, many of us wonder if there is any answer at all, simple or otherwise."

The answer IS simple:
Replace kamala sutra first.

Of course, she will have to be persuaded to make a gracious exit.
Perhaps a large amount of cash proffered in the right manner would make the decision more palatable to her.

And then, find a replacement (NOT a "woman" of "color") who could actually function as president (which will be required of him soon enough).

Once the new VP was installed, then the "pathway to solving the dilemma" will become far clearer, and much easier.

The Ds have boxed themselves into "woke" identitarian politics far too deeply to remove the first "woman of color" VP.  Their problem is merely political, but they have put the country into an existential problem.  We'll have to hope the country can survive Biden and/or Harris until 2024 and learn the obvious lesson about identitarianism versus competence.

But that lesson is so painfully obvious that if the country has not learned it, I'm afraid the country cannot learn it.

That is the big concern right now (at least for me).  Can this country survive until 2024? Perhaps ... and perhaps the more concerning question is; we will even see another election?  The ever hopeful election of 2022 is right around the corner, but is the RNC or the GOP doing anything of significance to ensure a majority win in either House??  I'm not so sure that we'll even make it until '22.

There's a reason why the country, as yet, isn't "learning it".

A nation that is racially homogenous WOULD have the ability to learn it -- but would have no need to.

A nation that has become racially and ethnically fragmented would have the need to learn the lesson, but cannot... and will not.

It's not possible for the US to become racially homogeneous.  There is simply no way that can happen.  The question is whether we can create a shared sense of nationality that transcends race.

For a long time it was the liberals who preached that ideal the most loudly; while conservatives believed it, liberals were the most outspoken about it.  But the liberal movement has been hijacked by racial identitarians who wish to impose hyper race consciousness on all human interactions, and most of the erstwhile liberals hate conservatives so much that they are moving along with the "woke" progressives.  Those who are truly awake, like Dave Rubin, are growing in number but I don't know that there are enough of them to make a difference.

The so-called "American Experiment" tests whether a nation can be built on ideas rather than on blood and soil.  Right now it's looking like the experiment will return a negative response.

Can you cite one other nation in all of human history that has achieved this?

Now we're getting closer to the crux of the problem.
Do you believe that Thomas Jefferson could simply wipe away fundamental human nature with an elegant and inspiring -- but impossible -- platitude...?

Let's suppose that the "negative response" you refer to is the reality of the situation we face.

What solution or pathway is possible...?
There ARE "solutions".
But they will not be ones that you would likely consider as being desirable or palatable.

No, but the ability of large numbers of people to move quickly from one part of the world to another has never allowed the experiment.  And we aren't the only country currently running the experiment, it's being replicated in the UK, Germany, Sweden, France, and other first world western nations; we just call it "the American Experiment" because we were the first to attempt it.  Unfortunately (in my opinion) current events suggest that the experiment will fail across the board.

I wouldn't call any of the likely outcomes "solutions."  If the US as we know it cannot transcend race, then clearly it will fragment, geographically and politically, and the fragmentation might be violent.  The only possibility would be migration of people such that races were concentrated in one part of the present-day US or another.

And you are correct, I would not consider that desirable or palatable, and I suspect very few others would consider it such either.

But it might be the unavoidable outcome, if this experiment indicates that tribal identity is more compelling than ideas.
