[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-04-29 Of course there are current leaders of Iran, Israel, Russia, China, N. Korea, etcetera, who want democracy to fail in the United States. They have their own power agendas. They do not want their power limited by the concepts of equal justice and the rule of law. Of course the Arabs in Dearborn Michigan settled into that area of the United States and then refer to the two major political parties as useful tools to their local power agenda that reflects a dilemma on foreign soil that their people have suffered forever through and have never solved themselves. They too do not want their sense of power limited by the common sense notion of agreeing to disagree and getting along here on this soil with those they do not like, even hate. Of course the proponents of the very subtly organized 2025 Project are manipulating every advantage against the middle so that democracy fails under the authority of a corrupt White Supremacist who will gladly deport all Arabs once he secures power in D.C. They feel all promise of power slipping away under the successful influence of a center out and truly inclusive Democrat presidency that reflects the multicultural humanitarian future our children are already naturally forming. They will do everything and anything to set us against each other. Of course businessmen born elsewhere come to this country to make their billions, then act as if everyone else here is an insignificant slave that is not worthy of the benefits that might come from "pernicious" taxation of those selfsame billionaires. They have an agenda that seeks the destruction of any We The People ideology. Of course the Fourth Estate has become a click bait and switch whore game, well, for all the same reasons. Note that it was news media and police that created the real conflict on campuses. At least here there is a real possibility that we can grow to agree to disagree. Working out their parents' time worn curses will take time. But it is possible here. Hillary lost Michigan and many polls are suggesting Trump is winning Michigan. The President needs to do what Hillary ignored and the traditional National Democratic Party has been weak at: campaign for democracy in the midst of the very "other" people in such a genuine and enthusiastic and enduring way that the excluded other, the Arab in Dearborn, the campus protester, the BLM activist understands that they are part of preserving our democracy, preserving our shared nation, finding a mutually shared sense of peace and lawfulness here that is made a mockery of in all the failed states out there that so many fled from. Biden needs to not only show up for the Morehouse speech, he needs to lean deeply into the protest and listen to what the new generational grievances are. He must explain simply and honestly what his efforts have been. He needs to ask for help in making our union ever more perfect. Failure to get with the many peoples, especially in vulnerable EC swing states, is to repeat the history of not only Hillary's mediocre arrogance but also the local Democratic politicians' anti-progressive survival-at-any-cost snark regionalism. For their part, Arabs in Michigan need to know directly from the president what his and the nation's dilemma is as it relates to Gaza. He needs to take the opportunity to personally include them. Just as he did with the UAW on strike. Why the heck not? We are all Americans, right? This is for everything democracy cherishes. These are Biden's people, right? Make this truly "by for and of" The People and let the self-serving power mongers keep the malarkey they're trying to sell. We have our democratic treasure and we will not surrender it, right? Using Trump as a cudgel to air one's deepest darkest grievances isn't going to make it with anyone anyhow … except some devils who want nothing but the evil of destruction.
