Wild to watch horserace journalists suggest the most politically suicidal shit and pretend it's savvy. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Sticking with Biden or running Harris would be *far* less risky than dedicating two of the next four months to Democrat infighting, followed by an unprecedented delegate voting process and dubious chances of even getting on the ballot. Knowing this shit is supposed to be these people's job

If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!

And endless "democrats in disarray" articles to follow.

I actually think people are getting a bit over their skis on freaking out over Biden! We're talking about one terrible debate performance, something that can be turned around with a few good TV appearances. And bowing out could hurt Dem polling more than it helps. bsky.app/profile/bikm...

We’re talking about five years of worsening decline that everyone can see.

And it's still pretty fresh in people's minds that the Dems were telling everyone that Feinstein was physically fine and up to the job when we could all see that her face was falling off.

Literally no one connects these two things except you, so let’s maybe use a different definition of “fresh in people’s minds”.

Plenty of people connecting these two, as well as RBG. Democrats have a "too old" problem that really pisses people off.

Mitch McConnell & Chuck Grassley are right there. Washington DC has a "too old" problem. Although, I probably don't care as much about Republicans because the more incapacitated they are, the better.
