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.

there's a certain irony that liberals who have spent four years yelling at leftists who criticize Biden at all for any reason have now, in one week, done more damage to Biden's candidacy than all those leftists combined
I think the freakout has been absurd and overblown and far more damaging than the debate itself, which would have been survivable if everyone had been willing to circle the wagons and push back on it I am, from a purely pragmatic standpoint, extremely concerned that the damage cannot be overcome

I SAW JOE BIDEN BEING OLD, what a fucking brilliant revelation, did that take you 3 or 5 minutes to come up with? “i would walk through hell to vote for the corpse of joe biden before ever voting for trump” is the base dem voter, maybe at least talk to a couple of them before you fucking kneel

the fourth estate is fucking kneeling in advance and that is, i think, worth a lot more discourse than whether the only non-fascist in the race is an old man, which he is.

there is no fucking “after” if trump wins again. there is america as we know it now, and there is post-america. that’s the choice. you aren’t voting for president, you are voting for the country you have always known, or one you’ve never known.

College kids trying to stop innocent people from dying as their college president puts snipers on the roof to watch over non-violent protests, a reporter getting sued as Maureen Dowd plops out another editorial comparing Bill Maher to James Dean. Just a ruling class that does not give a shit.

What gives me hope are the normal people trying to save things. People running for school board against moms for liberty freaks, college kids protesting, local newsrooms investigating corruption etc. They inspire but also make me pissed off at the powerful people/institutions that won’t defend them

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

Joe Biden take the Supreme Court at its word and have 6 of the justices killed right now challenge

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.
The war is over. The bad guys won.

This shit is so fucking funny dude. What did he do tonight that was materially different than what he’s been doing for the past decade? Genuinely asking (see previous post) but also don’t tell me (see previous post)
Am obviously just one of many many reporters getting their phones blown up by elite Dems in positions of influence, power, money freaking the fuck out tonight. All I’ll say before pivoting to writing copy is this is Not the usual bed wetting, Biden should step aside fan fic. Tonight was different

And do not watch “debates”, ever
Please do not listen to cable news idiots. Please do not spread their ramblings. They are less than dogs, less than animals.

the bill says that Palestinians will get no aid if they try to report war crimes
Just so disgusted by the (all but 2) Republicans and 62 Democrats (see below) who voted to ban US officials from acknowledging the death toll in Gaza. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024313
