And they demand Biden do a bunch of public appearances and interviews, he does so and shows the debate was just a bad day at the office, but that does nothing to change their minds or tone. They must be getting some dopamine rush from the attention.

Remember when Dorsey, Zuckerberg and Pichai were repeatedly hauled before Congress over allegations of liberal bias? Now we have a major social platform solely controlled by one of Trump's biggest backers. I wrote about what it means for X and the election. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

lol made the mistake of checking Twitter and the doomers are mad at Biden for not doing this earlier. And they wonder why candidates find them annoying af.

Biden very intentionally rejected some of these proposals in his previous campaign. This signals a drastic change in posture toward SCOTUS heading into a second term. most importantly signals there are a significant # of congressional Dems on board.

Also this is why people can’t fucking stand doomers. Getting mad about good things because the timing was not your preference is some joyless shit. Disney assures me you have your purpose though.

I think people are justifiably worried but I did not anticipate so many channeling their fear into actively working to undermine Biden’s campaign.
every day I feel like I'm losing my mind as people look at a statistically tied race where one guy is a felon with deeply unpopular positions who ALREADY LOST THIS EXACT RACE and are like "he is 100% for sure going to win"

Obama wrongly thought that if he let it slide, it would help him get some bipartisan support for his agenda. Instead he got the Lucy and the football routine for eight years while the GOP leaned into white supremacy.
