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...
Staying with Biden is now the most suicidal option. We will lose all 3 branches simultaneously.

one bad debate that confirms in people’s minds the longest running criticism of his ability to be president. This isn’t the same as Obama struggling in one debate to Romney.

He would have to be far worse than he appears to be for any sane person to consider Trump a better option.
