I cannot emphasize enough how much pundit brain has hollowed out our politics and political discourse

And “our” really is just us on the left. GOP & MAGA people don’t pull this shit

“Our candidate is toast but I can’t even suggest him resigning” is some galaxy brain stuff.

I mentioned Band of Brothers the other day when Lipton finds a soldier in total shell shock and immediately gets him off the line saying how even seeing panic and fear spreads it so fast and will lose battles and wars and he’s 100% correct.

Its weird that actual politicians, who you think would know this more than randos on the internet, need to be told that a debate will not be the singularly defining thing that voters decide the election on. Like, you think they'd know from their own campaigns that thats not what makes or breaks them

There’s just no political value in saying this publicly.

Agreed. I prefer how people like Whitmer handle this.
If Biden wins, it’ll be fun hounding them with this quote for a long time.

At least her interview didn’t try to minimize Trump’s threat. She honestly sounds defeated, almost despondent. But she also said she turned the debate off after five minutes, so she can’t pivot to all the horrible things Trump said.
Avatar
Pretty ridiculous for a sitting member of congress to completely collapse in defeat after watching only 5 minutes of a 90 minute debate
Avatar
It’s honestly just a major Democratic leadership failure (both from the campaign and also from the House and Senate) to not circulate talking points and tell people to lock shit down.
Avatar
Private discussions are fine, but this kind of public emoting makes any outcome worse.

One would hope that this is something that Jeffries/Pelosi/Schumer get on now that some of the more spineless members are starting to show that theyre buckling.
Avatar
Schumer is about the mosr spineless of them all. When Republicans have the majority McConnell runs the Senate. When Democrats have the majority McConnell runs the Senate.

In general yes but I doubt MGP is in the habit of taking orders from leadership

They should really drill into the freshmen that the media isn't their friend, and that they should never talk to one without their PR rep like they wouldn't talk to the police without a lawyer

is this how republicans felt after the access hollywood tape
Avatar
A reporter on twitter noted that it was big "Republicans in late 2016" vibes from some of the Dems rn. A preemptive, panicky response that will end up looking foolish once the party reconsolidates and circles wagons.
Avatar
OK cool, I’ve never had an original thought and didn’t want to start now
Avatar
I thought that literally an hour ago "is this what trump supporters felt like in 2016" not an original thought haver i am

Democrats, the party of pearl clutching. And what Golden said today is 1000x more damaging

I had no idea who this person is but apparently they’re both a first term congresscritter AND a literal blue dog I had no idea there still *were* blue dogs
Avatar
There's very few mostly because back in 2010 & 2014, they did panicky, bolt from the herd shit like this and got picked off en masse by Republicans.
Avatar
Never had a good feeling about her. Not really surprised she’s rolling over like this.
Avatar
like everyones saying, what kind of electoral strategy is it to tell your voters in the beginning of July "lol my partys nominee is toast." Does she not understand what voter demoralization will do to her chances too?
Avatar
No I don’t think she does. Blue dogs aren’t built that way anymore.
Avatar
Why do this? I don’t get it.
Avatar
because some people are panicky and think if they tell their voters that their own party sucks enough, it will save them when all it typically does is convinces their voters that their party sucks...and they should be tossed out with it.

I expect all three Dems to be invited to a lunch with Nonna Nancy. She will share hard truths. what follows will depend on how they act afterwards.
