The only somewhat quantifiable evidence we have about the impact of the debate continues to be entirely detached from the reactions of pundits and analysts.

A few small things need to happen as our city gets hotter: - Extend lifeguard hours at beaches to 9 PM - Extend pool hours to 9 PM. - Open beaches before Memorial Day weekend - Open pools on Memorial Day weekend if not before. All of this would be pocket change compared to the city's budget.

The details of this are surprisingly good! There's no reason that members of Congress should be trading single name stocks, even if it's being done on their behalf by an advisor. *SENATORS ANNOUNCE DEAL ON CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING BAN: NBC

“Biden can’t beat Trump” evidence being what exactly? Making these sorts of certain statements about unknowable things seems very much in the same camp as denying reality. The reality is, things are unclear, not much has changed in the polling, and we have no idea what would get a better outcome.

Approval rating means little when a lot of the people saying “disapprove” are Dems who want more out of him but will also absolutely vote for him against Trump.

The point is that they wouldn’t be listening to conservative talk radio slop, not that they would hear that the station is funded by democrats and then vote for them to say thanks.

So a minority of Dems want him to drop out, and we know nothing about whether they would still vote for him if he doesn’t (safe bet a majority would), and this is how a good poll is framed?

The solution to increased car-crash deaths from EV adoption is not "don't switch to EVs," it's smaller, lighter EVs; safer streets, especially for people on foot and active transit; and fewer cars in general -- denser neighborhoods, better infrastructure for active transit and public transit.

You could do some reporting on the fact that Trump isn't actually distant from this at all, but you instead decided to print lies in the newspaper. Why?

Doomerism is a philosophy of pure ego driven by the idea that you somehow are all-knowing about how things work and what the outcomes are. It’s a useful tool for people to convince others not to take action for things they believe in while making them feel smart at the same time.

Even if that were true, that’s not a cost to you. If you’re not willing to vote you’re the person who’s not willing to do the absolute least to fight fascism. Not a position to be lecturing from.

I’m on board with the idea that Biden is too old to campaign and should be replaced as the nominee. But calling for him to resign as president is absolute fucking political suicide and I hope the left realizes that’s exactly what the right wing is gunning for right now

Ok, I understand what “both” is referring to now. That’s a misunderstanding due using “both” to refer to two options scattered across multiple posts up the thread instead of the two candidates mentioned in the post you directly replied to.

An old dude with good policies seems pretty fine especially when the other option is an old dude who wants to be a dictator and has the mechanisms to do that all set up. I really don’t understand saying they’re in the same league.

Yeah I saw this, the pre-debate numbers on this make no sense to me but I’m not a polling expert. Just looking at the shift is alarming, I agree. My response to it would be to try to create some other media moments to see if it can be shifted back before just throwing it all out but idk.

These are the stakes. This is one of the premier organs of “intellectual conservatism,” and they see the immunity ruling as transformative and revolutionary, and they are signaling the willingness to do violence to defend their gains. Make everyone you know understand these stakes.

Being really annoying is praxis. Phone, email, fax, show up in person if that’s an option. Just don’t let up until you’re too irritating to ignore.

I mean does the fact that him having an absolute disaster of a debate didn’t move the needle really disprove the idea that undecideds could swing if he had a good one? It’s all hypothetical.

Who? There are never named names in this conversation. Gretchen Whitmer is the only one who seems plausible to me but has little to no national profile.

This appears to be a longer version of the same thing where no actual quotes support the thesis that they have decided to do nothing.

SCOTUS is clearly banking on a Trump win and giving him the tools to remain in power once he does. This is a do or die moment. We either stop squabbling amongst ourselves and beat MAGA or it's over. Those are the stakes.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

There are charts at the bottom comparing him to other presidents and he’s consistently the lowest besides Trump.

it feels like the whiteness of big political media spaces right now is having a big effect on how people are thinking about the debate. eg I have seen relatively little discussion of trump's "black jobs" comment, which immediately exploded on black twitter

Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.

A post-debate poll just got published where Biden gained. So we really know absolutely nothing here.
