If for no other reason, turn out to vote to spite the “men who have never done anything but sniff their own farts” club.

This is legit good and cool apnews.com/article/pres...

ah yes the president who canceled a speech today rather than cross a picket line

Biden cancels speech at teachers union convention in Philadelphia after union staff goes on strikeapnews.com President Joe Biden has canceled a planned speech in Philadelphia at the annual conference of the National Education Association after the union’s staff announced a strike.

in the words of my mother, put on your big girl panties and act like an adult. no one cares if you're upset at this moment.

i real the olivia nuzzi "story" and I cannot stress how much anyone taking that seriously is a fucking idiot.

Been a big week for losing respect for people

taking a break from le politique posting to lol at this group

i feel like we are watching, collectively, the democrat idea having class experience a sleep paralysis demon unclear which variety, but leaning towards the strangler

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

Anyway I think if the party wants to talk Biden into stepping aside, crying to the media is probably the last thing that’s going to get this to happen

Touching grass*

i am sure some people who follow me won't like it, but i am unsure what motivation it is to vote against the installation of a dictator who has promised to lock up anyone who disagrees with him, and to oppress minorities both based on ethnic and sexuality. seems pretty easy 2 me.

ok but seriously nut up. nobody here loves biden. I’d rather vote for a sentient captcha machine that electrocutes my eyeballs every time I tag all the bicycles and it thinks I missed a fuckin train wheel. but that’s what we got and if you want to live in a fantasy I have no time for your ass

should I make a terrible effort at lightening the mood with a just awful biden / fredrick wilhelm joke yes/no

pretty certain that the conservative movement is making it very clear they do not give a solitary shit what the constitution says

Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

This should make me be stakes brutally clear to everyone; but if it hasn’t — there’s a very simple choice in front of you: democracy, even if flawed, or autocracy

one of the guys in the presidential race has been convicted of committing dozens of serious financial crimes. the other guy is old. guess which one the New York Times says should drop out

my god

This is... very silly. I dislike the NYT as much as anyone, but, like... "The police are failing to catch the killer, the chief should resign." "Oh but why aren't you asking the killer to resign huh?"

I'd like to remind nate silver there was a whole metdown on the same website he posted his take, this week, because of WHERE A VIDEO GAME RATED THE DIFFICULTY OF PLAYING A FOOTBALL GAME AT

I think this is pretty much it — and for my part we can spend a lot of time after this election figuring out how not to re run it; but there’s really only one option going forward and that’s to pull that fucking lever in November

95% of the “Biden must step aside” argument rests on wishcasting a perfect storm: Biden steps down gracefully, there’s minimal fallout for Dems, Kamala steps aside, a talented young gun steps in and performs well. It’s not impossible but to act like it’s a layup is nuts.

You know, maybe the reason why this is the first debate of my lifetime that happened before the convention is to keep discourse like tonight from happening

My biggest concern with hotd is the show is very good but lord do all the characters suck ass as people

The worst people in our society are pulling big for a Trump win. They certainly don't believe there's no difference between Trump and Biden (even as they fund efforts to disseminate that message to left leaning audiences)
