chatham harrison is tending a new garden: Like, Feinstein really did hang on too long, should have resigned, & was kept there partly because her family was fighting over her. But with Feinstein that was obvious because you literally couldn't get a lucid soundbite out of her, much less an interview. People keep treating Biden as a vegetable

huh. why didn’t any of those stories make the New York Times article

We'd have the truth about Democrats if it weren't for those infernal women

This is just like with Feinstein: only democrats have agency, but old democratic politicians have no agency, they are forced to things by others.

Got an email from Biden saying I'm fucking running, hoping this puts it to rest but I don't think the NYT cabal will give up that easy. No longer worried he'll drop out, but the hand-wringers can still do a lot of damage.

I didn't get an email but I got a letter so I'm copacetic

Yeah if Joe says he's in it to win it he's in it

I know the fundraising emails are just ad copy written for sickos but it sounded very definite. If he can say be confident Friday on tv and say I’m the comeback kid, this news cycle is over

The NYT will never let this be over. But they’re going to have to put their heads down and plow through it.

right now “will Biden be replaced?” is captivating because it has the frisson of uncertainty, but will be boring after the convention

Fair. Though NYT will keep reminding us that Biden Old.

She absolutely did stay too long, no disagreement, but I don’t know what exactly we could do given that she chose to run for reelection and as far as I can tell didn’t want to resign.
