It’s maddening to see skepticism of ejecting Biden treated like cultish loyalty. Some of us have been out here saying Biden’s too old for years. The problem is that what is being proposed is a shocking, almost unheard-of remedy, and every historic precedent tells us it’ll end in catastrophe.
It’s very, very clear that the loudest voices calling most excitedly for this remedy are not especially politically sophisticated or even worried about Biden losing - that’s why they didn’t freak for the months of lagging polls and why they’re doing nonsense fantasy-draft replacement picks.
Hi there, as someone who wants Biden to drop out I want to say that I have no problem with Harris, who's mostly the same as Biden but better on some things (and not worse on any that I'm aware of)
Oh, I'm not referring to the Internet. The Internet seems like a big fan of switching out for Harris! I'm referring to elites (donors and mainstream pundits) who have ignored her or even undermined her during this cycle.
Which is to say: the direction they point in isn't totally uncorrelated with where they should be but they have a tendency to dig, be at a weird angle, update slowly and then wildly overcorrect
