i don't even get where you go from here as the editorial board of the new york times. if biden doesnt step down and polls stay stable, then what? do you just keep insisting he should step down anyway? write another editorial being like we were wrong? pretend it never happened?
like i get posters online venting their frustration about what they see as a shitty choice in the election. but as the paper of record man, what are you doing?
bouie once patiently and politely explained to me why I was being a dumbass when I was being extremely drunk & communist in one of his threads. Man has the patience of a saint.
It’s an op to get everyone behind Biden, and it worked on me. I wish we could have anything else but fuck anyone trying to wishcast that, especially the “adults in the room.” Anyway I donated to his campaign today, because I guess once again we’ve got to do the work
I mean, is there is any question? It is a thousand percent the last one, and they will all keep their jobs, because they all belong to the same club, or whatever the New York version of belonging to the same club is.
They do what they've always done; ignore their record of being wrong about almost every important issue they've ever written about in order to shit out another godawful, baby-brained tantrum about the latest subject of immense importance that they are totally unqualified to opine on.
Quite amazing that one bad debate performance from Biden is enough for them to call for him backing out of the race but Trump being convicted of 34 felonies gets crickets from them.
When will they call for the convicted felon, also found liable for rape, decades of corporate and tax fraud, whom we all saw attempt a coup and also credibly charged with stealing and likely sharing our nation’s top secrets, to withdraw?
NY Times, the 1%ers, and Republicans would just love it if Biden stepped down. If we panic and throw out Biden, we lose the country for the weakest reason: lack of courage. If US can't choose a good public servant like Biden over Trump, Democracy is gone anyhow.
my mother is margaret flowers who was the senate candidate against van hollen in 2016. the baltimore party made a few decent attempts in the last few years. the national party is a joke. but hey jill's the only leftist with ballot access so i'll take it.
Don't worry, they'll find other angles ...
"Opinion: Despite criticism, Biden refuses to be less old-seeming"
"Does Biden's age mean he should be catapulted into the sun? It's complicated. "
But Biden is behind the polls. He has to change that otherwise he’s on track to lose. The debate was his chance to do so and he did the opposite. I don’t think he’s capable of doing anything at this point to change the race, hence the calls for him to step aside.
I don't see much issue in saying Biden should step down but then vigorously supporting him when he doesn't - that's the responsible thing if the reason for asking him to step down really is a desire to maximize Dem election chances
