Instead of taking probably bitter months to form a single government, France should try out a rotating government. Give every pair of coalitions a quarter to govern and see how it goes. Three months of "anti-fascist unity", then "centre/right le bipartisanship", after that: "red-brown alliance"

The tone here doesn't feel as jubilant as it should

In the midst of one of the biggest crises ever to strike the Democratic Party, Wall Street’s most influential donors are resigned to watching and waiting like much of the rest of the country

Biden’s Biggest Donors Left Powerless to Sway Him to End Bidwww.bloomberg.com They pride themselves on being doers; taking decisive action at crucial inflection points and anticipating major power shifts.

I think Marcy has solved the puzzle of why Biden has been seeing a neurologist, who is capable of treating more than just Parkinson's. It's a shame that NYT can't employ any journalists capable of reading what's in the published health reports.

NYT: Dr. Cannard is a movement disorder specialist. LINKED report from physical: Dr. O'Sullivan explaining that he added movement disorder specialist to Biden's team for SOMETHING ELSE in 2021. NYT: Must be Parkinsons. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/u...

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

the story about Mark Warner trying to get other senators to tell Biden to drop out gets extremely funny in this context considering he is, based on the data I can find, more than five times richer than the next-wealthiest Senate Dem

Yeah the rich are really putting pressure on him to drop out, not just her...but you can tell they're funding a ton of op-ed stories being published in places like the New Yorker, etc all saying the same thing- he should drop out. Come on, it's very obvious what they are trying to do

The best thing about British democracy is when the actual head of government has to stand in a leisure centre at 5 am beside a guy with a bin on his head to find out if he still has a job.

A liberal supermajority led by a bland white man with good hair and zero interest in reshaping the status quo? Over here in America we call that California

I've noticed the word "donors" a lot in recent reporting. Electeds referencing calls from worried donors. Donors getting cited as sources themselves. And now the Times is just straightforwardly admitting there's a donor conspiracy.

Many wealthy Democratic donors are trying to pressure President Biden to abandon his re-election campaign and help lay the groundwork for an alternate candidate.

Major Democratic Donors Devise Plans to Pressure Biden to Step Asidewww.nytimes.com The president appears intent on remaining on the ballot, while wealthy donors are discussing plans to put their money elsewhere.

Wait, Labouour is 🟥 and Tories are 🟦? Talk about backwards politics.

Heard there's an election happening. As a European elections expert, let me offer some advice: We need Starmer to go to the King and enlist his aid if LibDems have any hope of beating back Le Pen. You can't expect me to vote for this political malpractice.
