Why Not to Vote Democrat

More realistically and easier to address, a staff member once called me about the word “Nixxer” in our library’s catalog. It was in a catalog record that correctly referred to Agatha Christie’s book “10 Little Indians “as it was an edition note that told the original title “10 little Nixxers.” The book was later published under an even more sanitize title “And then there were none. “

Since that edition note using offensive language wasn’t really necessary to have in a catalog record, I deleted it and made the staff member happy. But my action did delete a fact. In this case, feelings over facts. Sigh.

The sensitivity readers are currently making another pass at Christie. For instance “native” is replaced by “local” lest readers be harmed by such vicious verbal violence.

the Biden, White House would have to set up a tribunal like the Canadians with definitions of what is correct speak and what isn’t.


Oh, I would really look forward to that bullshit. Not.

I could only hope it would be tossed out like the Ministry of Truth or whatever that ridiculous thing was called.

You can just imagine a panel of hall monitors, HOA presidents and DEI administrators policing wrongspeak at taxpayer expense.

Would this come with some requirement to speak English?

As someone else has implied, the words themselves are irrelevant, it's the perceived intent. I would think in that environment, regardless of language spoken, you would just need to maintain a perpetual smile and perhaps a sparkle in your eye, just to be safe.

I think that's the idea.

Missouri’s former governor Jay Nixon is stepping out into a possible 3rd party Presidential run. This is Jay saying to Biden: “Step the f+ck down you self centered ancient stumbling old man and take Harris with you.”

would I vote for Jay? Hell yes. He wants to put forth a “moderate” candidacy, devil in the details of course.

He is age 67, just a young whippersnapper when compared to the two creaky old likely candidates.

I am frantic to think the major parties are presenting the SAME TWO UNSAVORY CHARACTERS as the last time around.

Democrats, here is your chance, send some money Jay’s way. Give him some momentum. Show him love.

From what I’ve heard… voting for a no label candidate that you describe is as good as giving trump the win. Don’t ask me to elaborate ‘cause I didn’t pay close attention to the reasoning. That being said, I also think it is unwise to vote for a candidate you know will never win … as discussed in previous threads.

I can't tell you how sick I am of abusive, combative, political bullies. That line alone would disqualify him for me.

Relax, Jay Nixon did not say that, that is Iris speaking showing her disgust for ancient politicos who refuse to step down.

Jay Nixon mentioned neither Biden nor Trump in his work to get a third party candidate on the ballot. He may not even necessarily be that candidate, he is working to make it viable.
