"The Trump vaccine." I guess "vaccine" is is own plural now? (Not to mention that Pfizer did not participate in Warp Speed.) She basically makes the case here that Trump sealed his own fate by not highlighting the one thing he was right about in his entire presidency. Namely, that we can turn around an ambitious science program in record time when resources and will to succeed are unbounded. That should be a real takeaway that I think has not been paid enough attention. Like with all things Sanders, it's very difficult to tell which part she believes and which part is rhetoric that needs to be used in order to connect with morons.
The frustrating thing about the lily-whites is that their history predisposes them to an ephemeral time-horizon for their own positions. Liberals have been fighting The Struggle since Engels was in London but conservatives aren't particularly interested in discussing the racial covenants on their HOAs right now because they didn't write them. So Sanders and her ilk can postulate a new formulation for their behavior that lies in direct opposition to their formula from six weeks ago and like Golden Retrievers, the lily-whites will bark at the new squirrel. You and I both know that if Trump had said "there's a catastrophe, it's Chinese, I'm instituting martial law to protect America while we develop the Freedom Vaccine and withhold it from anyone who trades with CHyyyyyyyynahhh" we'd be saluting his mug on the wall every morning while Toby Kieth plays like the goddamn muezzin. I firmly believe American democracy was imperiled by incompetence, and saved by said-same.
No doubt. The vaccine race was by far the biggest success of the Trump presidency, so it's very ironic that he and his supporters have shied away from it. This moronic essay is Sanders trying to filter that fact into language that can be understood by those who have decided to only speak meme-Trump. It's actually an impressive bit of translating. If you read the subtext it is: Trump is vaccinated and there wouldn't be vaccines without him, so brighten the fuck up you imbeciles.I firmly believe American democracy was imperiled by incompetence, and saved by said-same.
