The biggest issue with Biden coverage is that he’s now The Story, which means that most of the press is focused on The Story and not any of the context or consequences. If we were having a serious discussion about qualifications for presidency, age, and the two main candidates, I’d be fine with it.

The ability to consistently have the worst possible framing is incredible.

We’ve all watched the GOP drag rapists, criminals, florid wackos, and brain-dead white supremacists to electoral victory over and over again. Perhaps the Democrats can summon up some of that energy to save our democracy and our lives.

She's on the ticket right now. Her current team could be helping the entire campaign do that.

Holy cow.

So much so that I had forgotten he even ran.

i get even more annoyed about it because dean phillips was right there. dean phillips was the centrist corporate loser that all these centrist corporate losers wanted, he ran an actual campaign, he got absolutely annihilated. that’s not evidence of malfeasance, that’s evidence of no interest

I'm really annoyed with the "There wasn't a real primary this year" argument because if people think Biden's as bad as everyone seems to think he is, someone would have primaried him. Every politician is a careerist asshole, and the people who would have run actually interact with him.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

Like, if you're craven enough to get to a point where you could reasonably make a run at beating an incumbent president in a primary, you know how to smell blood in the water, and the stench would be incredible. Still, nobody did. Hell, nobody even floated it.

They’re already setting up the next overblown freakout, this time to take down Harris. Nice work everyone

Hope US Athletes do this kind of outreach the next few months.

I don't understand this point. Trump can just pardon them.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

That really seems to be when he started to lose his fastball too on insults and speeches. It could just be that he's now 4 years older, but it tracks pretty well to that time too.

Former president Donald Trump sought Friday to distance himself from a conservative think tank’s plan, known as Project 2025, for the next Republican presidency, as Democrats work to make it a political vulnerability for Trump in the November election.

tbh its super notable that with all the news tumbling like an avalanche coming down a mountain at Biden, Trump's campaign felt compelled to post this

even trump’s campaign staff (i assume he didn’t write this) knows that the reactionary, authoritarian agenda that’s project 2025 is going to be unpopular with the average voter.
