Once upon a time, a majority of U.S. voters rejected a capable, competent, and intelligent daughter of Black and Indian immigrants in favor of a diminished, ignorant, racist son of a multimillionaire, proving that the United States remained a great country for old, white men.

Yes, I think Democrats are complicit in genocide. But Trump would be far worse | Wajahat Ali

If you’re undecided about your vote, a reliable rule of thumb is to always side against the candidate who is a convicted criminal, admires “good things” done by Adolf Hitler, and is labeled a “fascist” by four-star generals who worked in their administration. However, just days before the chaotic 2024 US election, many American voters are still loathe to vote for Kamala Harris due to the Biden administration’s complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. It’s hard to blame them.

“Birdie Num Num.”Just say those three magic words at any social event, and you’ll create a small, exclusive club for people who have seen Blake Edwards’ “The Party” (1968). Often, their eyes widen, and they quickly respond with their own take of “Birdie Num Num.” Some say it fast, others take their time stressing the pause between each “Num.” However, everyone unconsciously says it with their version of an “Indian accent” trying to copy actor Peter Sellers.
Reform the Supreme Court or Bow to MAGA

Aug 22, 2024 | progressive.org | Wajahat Ali

Once upon a time in America, there was an unelected branch of government with nine Justices who served lifetime appointments and had the power to undo nearly a century of progress. It was called the U.S. Supreme Court. They were supposed to act as a check on power but did everything they could to enable the worst impulses of a twice-impeached vulgarian, Donald Trump, and his increasingly violent MAGA cult, who had been part of a failed insurrection to keep him in power.

Once upon a time in America, the twice-impeached criminal vulgarian known as Donald Trump narrowly beat President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Both candidates were extensively reported to be equally flawed. Learning nothing from previous presidential elections, the mainstream press continued to employ a “both sides” approach in its reporting to avoid any presumption of bias. President Biden was old.
