I’m going to take a break from the platform for a bit.

a personal matter I was really invested in fell apart tonight. So, I can now tell you from experience that feeling like you gave it your all and did as good a job as you know you can do is no consolation when the bad thing happens.

Basically, everyone in Biden world is pinning their hopes to this TV interview, and everyone else is waiting for them to see that's not going to turn it around.

Biden needs to do a prime time interview every weekday until the election.

This photo is pure 2024.

If the ideas are ridiculous, he'd have no problem agreeing not to appoint or re-appoint any of the 200 former Trump officials who worked on 2025, graduates of its Presidential Administration Academy, or anyone listed in its "Presidential Personnel Database" - a resume board for upcoming appointees.

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.

Almost every argument in this dumb piece can be used against paying taxes. Your $5000 isn’t the difference between society and anarchy. The odds of being caught cheating on taxes are vanishingly thin. The only reason to pay is civic duty, but according to this guy, civic duty is for “scoundrels”.

The NYT celebrates July 4 by arguing against democracy.

Opinion | Why I Don’t Votewww.nytimes.com If casting a ballot is merely expressive, then the same is true of not casting one.

The best response to "I had a bad night" would have been to be on TV the next three nights. Whatever is true about Biden - and I'm not sold it's cognitive decline - his campaign has made critical strategic errors in decisively countering a narrative.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Decarceration in the US has been almost exclusively a Dem-voting county endeavor, despite rhetoric abt bipartisanship. In a sample of 27 states (holding ~75% of the ppl in prison), Democratic-leaning counties were responsible for ~90% of the decline. And ironically, CA makes the GOP look good:

As a reporter who has dealt with politicians before, “I don’t have any news on…” traditionally doesn’t mean “we reject the idea of taking actions.” It traditionally means “we are considering our options and would want a more impactful unveiling than an putting an unprepped deputy on a group call”

Where the fuck was this guy last night?

Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

So much on the line in this election, but the *most* important stakes of this election is who’s going to be able to tell who “I told you so.”

Did Trump just mention that every police department supported him while arguing for Black voters?
