The far right have been beaten in the UK and France this past week. This is promising. This is progress. Fuck those fascists.

This and there would be consequences from voters of color
by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.

The only reason republican states are trying to add further restrictions is to prevent poorer people without access to the additional documentation from voting. This has nothing to do with preventing non-citizens from voting.

If only Biden had sounded as strong telling the truth and answering questions, as Trump sounded telling lies and avoiding questions, the media might have … no. They wouldn’t. The media haven’t been this high on power since The Dean Scream.
In the exact same nine day period that Biden and his White House and campaign have been flailing, Trump has offered voters a window into his own mental state and vision for term 2 It’s not great! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Biden had an immediate post debate bump, especially among low info/independents. The fricken Democrats, per usual, punched themselves in the crotch by buying into the BS the media was selling. Trump LIED for 90 straight minutes! But Joe sounded tired while telling the truth. Now it’s the story.
This, along with the “get knocked down, get back up” talk is so distressing. This is not a Chumbawuma song! It is the presidency!

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Would a statement from the “White House physician” that Biden is perhaps the healthiest president in history, and that he’s built like a linebacker do the trick? And would you not then elect that physician to Congress? No? I don’t get it.

Speaking as a semanticist, it's wild to me that they are phrasing it in terms of whether an *act* is characterized as "official", when what they seem to actually be talking about is whether there exists a *description* of the act that can be characterized as "official".

On the other hand, SCOTUS just gave Biden immunity, so let’s fucking go! Expand the court, expel some republicans from office, or just order their kidnapping in an official capacity. Let’s get some shit DONE before November, then shut down the elections and declare Biden President for Life.

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.

I think a thing that's poorly understood about American history is that a lot of the progress made through the New Deal was driven by the political elite's fear of the Russian Revolution happening here and not by them having a sudden turn of heart after being visited by multiple ghosts or something.
Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?

The same business model of door to door salesman and hobos in the early 20th century.
When you think about it, it's ridiculous that "annoy people until they give you their money and/or data" is the default business model for so much of the internet now.

Biggest campaign story ever: using a private email server that could hold top secrets but doesn’t and could be breached but wasn’t. Tiny story: stealing top secrets. Hiding them in a bathroom. Taking them to NJ. Showing them to foreigners. Meeting with foreign governments.
