“We need to do something totally unprecedented in the history of American elections.” “Oh, wow. That seems risky, especially when we’re trying to defeat fascism.” “Not as risky as not doing it.” “OK, so how will you go about it?” “We’ll come up with something in the next 30 days.” “Impressive!”

It’s hard to come to any other conclusion than the fact that most of them just prefer seeing Republicans in power in no small part bc they like what they represent and hope to see their goals for the country achieved.

This also, imo, makes grousing from certain reporters that Dems are being too mean to them now and too critical of news media which justifies them being critical in return extremely hollow. We know what a party actually attacking news media looks like & what their response is: they roll over for Rs.

In 2016, the press was absolutely sure that Clinton was going to win, which they said was their justification for going hard on her. In 2024, they are absolutely sure Trump will win, which they are using as a justification to run puff pieces & roll over for his campaign whenever possible.

The poll in the WSJ that kicked off the entire "Joe is too old" narrative was conducted by a guy who works for a Trump Super Pac that paid him $567,000 in 2023, with close ties to Paul Manafort. Oh and he’s a former Trump 2016 Campaign staffer. newrepublic.com/post/175387/...

Let the past month or so prove that people who are anxious and fearful can be manipulated into believing horrible things by people with a horrible agenda. And this is entirely the fault of a media ecosystem built solely to be a money-making machine rather than a way to inform the public.

The venn diagram of “young white guy who was considered a wunderkind by progressives” and “right wing grifter once people start questioning their wunderkind-ness” isn’t perfect but it is damn close.

Again, these gobshites have no freaking idea about the coalitions that compose the Democratic Party. They think they can bypass the 1st black woman vice-president and replace her with a white woman and there isn’t an electoral cost? Are black women chopped liver?

I just gave up and blocked somebody in whom I up until recently held the highest esteem. It is fucking incumbent upon anybody, especially anybody with a large platform, to get fucking control of your doomer spirals for the sake of the people around you if not for yourself. We have to stop this.

Entirely predictable that the people now saying “the stakes are too high - Biden must step aside” will start to offer a bunch of qualifiers if Biden does step down.

Like, this psychotic appetite for an open convention, based near-explicitly on "Oooh, wouldn't it be so *fun* and *thrilling*?" is decadent. It's actual, real decadence and degeneracy, the reduction of a normal process into a gross parody to sate the boredom of the elites.

That's the thing that bothers me the most about this- if this was *just* a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul, a short-sighted rush for a near-term solution with bad long-term prices, I could at least understand it. But from where I'm sitting, there's not even that, just rich people throwing a fit.

RNC attendees held "MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW" signs supporting the mass purging of millions of our neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones and I can't seem to find one single headline about from a major news outlet. The media isn't meeting the moment.
