PBJ Progressive Bernie Jill voters and the Tulsicrats – Thank Them!
They are the reason your country is not at war with more countries and why America only looks as silly and as dangerous as it does instead of what neo-conservatives and neo-liberals had planned.
Here’s what’s awesome:
It’s time to really talk about progressive policy, anywhere and anytime you want. The most important reason why is the failed policy that has generated low consumer sentiment, diminished world status and crashed global economies has ample data proving how worthless it is.
Please talk about Bernie, Jill, Tulsi and the people and issues they discuss. Please do. It is the most important thing for America at this time. If you won’t, I will. I’ll do it right now. I’m going to describe Progressive Bernie-Jill Tulsi politics as a PBJ on Toast. Here we go:
Imagine Tulsi as an organic pineapple marmelade available in some restaurants. Imagine Jill as home made strawberry jam. Elizabeth Warren would be an organic strawberry jam also available in some restaurants. I still don’t know how to get the home made strawberry jam to market even though I think it is some of the most awesome stuff I have ever tried.
Joe Biden, General Colin Powel, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Oprah and the Obamas are commercially sold jellies and jams offered by large corporations. The fruit is made with GMOs and there are known additives as well as unlisted ingredients. There is no GMO label and some of the products use earth-tones in their packaging and marketing in an effort to misguide consumers. You know, “Suckers” (GOP) and “Welchers” (DNC) and their attempts to create market-friendly adapations of thier products, e.g. Kamala Harris and Rand Paul.
Bernie isn’t marmelade, jam, jelly, nutella, apple butter or peanut-butter. Bernie is hand churned butter fresh from Vermont. He’s going on the sandwich. They say it isn’t vegan. I know that.
The reason Bernie is so important is because he is the most exciting thing to happen to politics since Camelot. For the youngsters, the term, “Camalot” refers to the JF and Jackie Kennedy era. I know, royalty is awful but the guy did great things for our country and losing him was a tragedy for the United States, for his family and for global policy. What happened to Bernie seems and feels nearly as tragic to PBJT voters.
Now on to the obvious question:
Q. What is the peanut butter and the bread?
A. It is a description of our policy or lack thereof and the Congressional make-up..
So, let’s say, you get Bernie, Tulsi, Liz, Jill, Nina and whomeverelse you want as your President, Vice-President and cabinet. The peanutbutter is still a really big issue. The nut-butter is the policy. The two slices of bread are the two legislative chambers of our bicameral government.
For so long, we’ve gotten, “the store brand” of white (GOP) or buttermilk(DNC) bread most of the time. A Berniecrat Congress would be all you can eat buckwheat waffles made from a selection of the finest wheat across the nation, and real maple syrup from a tree in Vermont.
You would watch a sweet old man fetch sap for their home-made syrup while his sweet wife made your waffles by hand in a restored cast-iron heart shaped waffle maker. You would watch them made with real love over a Vermont hearth made from Vermont wood gathered by the Senator from Vermont himself. How quaint!
I apologize for being the one to have to tell you that you might not get that. It isn’t impossible. Amazing things have happened in some of the electoral contests that we’ve seen so far, but a truely Progressive Berniecrat Congress doesn’t seem to be on the horizon. What you have is organic fruit from a farmers’ market served on a store bought waffle made from enriched bleached flour.
What about the peanut buter? Well, these idiots have been giving you either store-bought waffles or store-bought bread with commercial jam and commercial peanut butter. They’ve been giving you that because either they are cruel or they don’t know any better. In any case, we’re trying to get some of that pineapple marmelade and the home-made butter. We’re wondering if we can have the organic Vermont syrup on the store-bought waffle, if that’s the best we can get.
What I could see happening with that menu is either getting a non-GMO peanutbutter or applebutter with some additives or no peanutbuter at all. We could end up with the store-bought waffle with marmelade and butter. That’s a government shut-down or a series of vetos and shut-down scenarios.
I want what I’m calling “applebutter” along with the pineapple marmelade and the organic butter, even if I have to have it on the storebought waffle. Depending on what state you live in, you could get the butters and marmelade on a bran muffin. An apple-butter would be a tech-centered agrarian policy.
Honey instead of peanut-butter would mean goverment infrastructure spending without reducing military spending and without tax cuts. It would likely even mean some tax increases.
What many PBJT voters want is organic peanut-butter. They want infrastructure spending, tax increases and reduced military spending. They also want an end to Citizens United and a rexamination of Federal gun laws. I would be happy with either organic apple butter or organic peanut butter. Either would do fine with the organic strawberry jam or the organic pineapple marmelade.
Q. So, can we get those buckwheat waffles or at least rye bread this Congress?
A. We could have an organic non-GMO apple pie with the ingredients we have. We can do it, working together. Not me, us.
Q. Don’t you want to talk about what’s on the sandwich right now?
A. Eww gross! Heck no!! We have standards!!!
After the menu we just talked about, who would bring up regurgitated SPAM with government cheese on a toothpick served with a bottomless cup of covfeffe . There, you made me do it.
