Jello Biafra's 2020 Presidential Endorsements

[DBoon]

Should the endorsement of the former leader of the punk band The Dead Kennedys be of interest:

“I endorse Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination for President! If the New York Times can do a dual endorsement, so can I!

Yes, I am registered Green. I have not voted for a democrat for Prez since Jimmy Carter in 1976, right after I turned 18. But for the Dems, Liz and Bernie are by far the best.

Biden and Bloomberg are almost as bad as Trump. If those so-called “Super Delegates” hijack the convention, swipe the nomination and hand it to one of those guys, Trump wins. By a lot, as millions under 45 may well stay home in disgust. This can’t be allowed to happen, as the Senate and State offices are even more important than who’s president. A President Warren or Sanders gets nowhere if Moscow Mitch McConnell still controls the Senate. A (gasp!) re-“elected” (ha ha) Trump thwarted by a Democratic-majority Senate can’t put any more neo-Nazis, rapists and Christian Supremacist crackpots on the Federal courts.

I personally like Warren slightly better than Bernie because:
1) She’s done her homework. Bernie too, but not to quite the same depth or degree.
2) Think about it – Who really has a better chance of actually beating Trump, and helping flip Congress and state legislatures?? It’s Elizabeth Warren, hands down.

And those state races are more crucial than ever – whoever controls the legislatures in each state this time gets to redraw all the Congressional districts and all the districts in both state houses too. They could even repeal Jim Crow 2.0. Go!”

1. Good God, is he still around?

7. Why wouldn't he still be around

He's only 61. Just a few months older than me.

9. I guess I thought he was a lot older.

I haven't heard anything about him or The Dead Kennedys for about 30 years.

2. Where DID I put that Dead Kennedys T-Shirt?

Oh...wait...no, that's my Dead Milkmen t-shirt. See?



Now I remember. There was that time the cat barfed about 5 years ago. I remember now...I tossed it.

4. I couldn't even get my DK T-shirt over my head

went to a thrift shop decades ago

Amazing how cotton shrinks over the years

6. There used to be a record store in the area

where I lived in California. Cheap Thrills in San Luis Obispo, CA. Just inside the door, there was always a box full of band T-shirts. $2 each. I used to drop in there often and pick up the most garish and weird T-shirts to wear on a daily basis. I wore most of them out and used them as rags, but I kept the Dead Milkmen one, and carefully bagged it. I wear it on special occasions when I want to make a moronic statement. I'm almost out of them, now, so I need to find another record store to drop into.

Obscure Band T-shirts. Cheap, colorful, and great summer wear that makes people say "WTF?" I love 'em.

5. Nice to have an endorsement from someone who has helped elect Reagan, Bust I & II and Trump

How many of your progressive ideals did these Presidents implement, Mr. Jello? Was it worth it to support some obscure candidate that handed the election to these Republicans? Did it make you happy?

8. " I have not voted for a democrat for Prez since Jimmy Carter in 1976"

So in other words he helped elect Reagan, both Bush’s and Trump. Way to move your agenda forward.
