The Pod Save guys calling on Biden to resign are so fucking funny. Just a bunch of Obama speech writers who every week interview Democratic Party insiders and also occasionally Biden himself being like “wow holy smokes folks we just now noticed this oh jeez golly!” lol eat shit
Just fundamentally I will not listen to anyone saying there’s a crisis if they themselves are complicit in the crisis they’re pretending to just now be aware of
Telling anyone who didn't want genocide in Palestine to shut the fuck up because the grownups are talking and it was essential not to change horses midstream; now, of course, it's a few more months too late to change without looking cretinous. And making Trump look healthier and smarter.
as a former fan i'm disappointed because they were a guiding light during the Trump years and their GOTV stuff has done good work. but now they're just the left's podcaster influencer network. I mean Lovett even went on Survivor earlier this year for two months ffs, they're unserious!
Two things:
1) Not enough people blamed Biden for Palestine to make that possible. The other side of the same coin is that no likely replacement would be much better on Palestine.
2) Lots of people care about Biden's age and ability to vigorously counter Trump. Switching would address that.
Yes, I know Trump barely squeaked into power the first time by winning electoral votes on a tighter-than-razor-thin margin in a few states. That's never been under question.
I haven't listened to today's episode yet, though I listened to the one from just after the debate. Do they explicitly say he should drop out, or do they just telegraph extreme worry and say it's a question that has to be seriously considered?
They did a debate. It is a little silly how surprised they were, but weren't we all a little surprised? I think most party loyalists right now would still be very comfortable with a second Biden term, but the concern is with the new optics driving away voters. Seems like a valid concern to me
Like not because of this but just like cuz of their everything in general, I think of Obama whipped it out and told the entire pod save crew to suck it they would without even a moments hesitation
Since I never miss the chance
Someone once said that the west wing inspired people in the Obama admin and I said “yeah that is painfully obvious” and they didn’t like it
Anyway I think we were both taking about these guys 😂
