It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.
It’s a lot of despair and it’s (a) genuinely unpleasant to witness and (b) making me nervous that Democrats will let it fester into some abominable reality
It just scares the absolute shit out of me that so many usually level-headed people are losing their minds over what comes down to one bad debate performance by an octogenarian with a head cold.
I think what we're also seeing is a billionaire/donor class freakout that just spreads like lightning through their group chats, which includes a half-dozen NYT reporters.
I also think that a lot of that class have been really unhappy with Biden, mostly because he hasn't really "Brought them in", and they also see this as an opportunity to weasel in someone who is more to their liking (And a lot of them don't really mind Trump either..)
