This story should've been written days ago, & the details included in Editorial Board's call for Biden to leave. Only now, after whipping up the frenzy for Biden to quit, does NYT explain how risky it is--& you better believe they'll be focusing on division throughout the process, sowing chaos.

Nytimes politics desk is just overtly pro Trump at this point. bsky.app/profile/jaco...
A tale of two newspapers, and two very different decisions.

There is no question the Supreme Court must be expanded if we are to save democracy. Dem members of Congress who believe that should go to the president, tell him they will fight for him, particularly as there are calls for him to leave the race, and that he must expand court.

NYT is still on this kick. Also, if all your columnists are writing the same thing, maybe suggest they write about something else. If anything, demands from media elites are only bringing more support in the base for Biden.

there's a long list of people and organizations who should be very afraid if Trump wins. Very fucking afraid He'll take full advantage of the immunity to commit crimes that those right-wing psychopaths on SCOTUS granted him So, yeah, be afraid if he wins - so make sure he loses

Now the New York Times will never get the interview. But it was an interesting strategy.

Don't fall for the trap. If Democrats listen to the New York Times and try to replace Biden, the New York Times will have a new narrative: Democrats in chaos. And they will then have 347 stories a week about whoever is the candidate, all focused on how inexperienced and unprepared that person is.

During Trump's entire time in office there were no editorials from NYT demanding he resign, after everything he did. They only write such editorials if they think they can draw blood. They didn't want to look stupid, so didn't bother. It's not about doing the right thing. It's only about THEM.

Kinda think if you were Washington Post's White House reporter during Trump years, you might have a few contacts who you could call to say, what are the specific answers to these questions he evaded Trump evades questions because the press corps lets him Get the answers FFS
here's a whole goddamn article from one of Washington Post's star political reporters about how Trump didn't answer questions at the debate Here's a radical concept for reporters: Get those answers - from him and/or other Republicans Use your access for that www.washingtonpost.com/elections/20...
Trump dodged a broad range of questions as Biden struggled on stagewww.washingtonpost.com The former president repeatedly evaded topics he was not interested in speaking about, following the advice of advisers.

Biden should be fundraising off the New York Times attack.

NYT is comical in its panic & rage about Biden/the debate, with every headline professing doom, demanding he leave. But they managed to squeeze in one--one--piece defending Biden, from a former GOPer, explaining that this is why Republicans often beat Dems. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/29/o...
Opinion | Democrats: Stop Panickingwww.nytimes.com The president had a bad night, but the fundamentals of this race have not changed.

If the New York Times is so worried about beating fascism they should never have puffed up Donald Trump.

If The New York Times hadn’t spent so much time beating up Biden they might actually have credibility in making a suggestion. But now they’re just a joke.

When is The New York Times going to call on convicted felon and twice-impeached rapist Donald Trump to drop out out of the race? There's still time to do the right thing editors.

When the New York Times is telling you to do something don't do it. It will only be a disaster.

Hard to describe how useless this is in a way that people determined to see it as useful can understand.
In six swing states that Biden narrowly won in 2020, a little more than half of voters classified as likely to decide the presidential election say threats to democracy are extremely important to their vote for president, according to a poll.
Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voterswapo.st A poll of swing-state voters shows that Americans rate threats to democracy as an important issue, but that the president has yet to convince them he is the one to defend it.

An associate editor at Wash Post wrote this today: "At the same time — and, yes, I know how cavalierly they tossed aside precedent in Dobbs — I doubt that even this court is about to upend the national legal landscape again and eliminate the right to marriage equality" Sotomayor knows better

I'm just a simple country political scientist but I'm pretty sure if any other major presidential candidate said this it'd be covered none stop for weeks and everyone would agree that their campaign was over

"The remarks are part of Trump’s broader pattern of using dehumanizing language when discussing immigrants, which during this election cycle has included broadly portraying migrants as violent criminals and saying that they are 'poisoning the blood of our country.'"
