Straightforward from here: 1. Biden pulls out, endorses open contest 2. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries perform the Ancient Rites as set forth by the Party Old Ones 3. The ghost of Abraham Lincoln arises and endorses the current iteration of the Democratic Party 4. ???? 5. ???? 6. Profit

i think the thing that is leading me to check out of the biden conversation as much as possible is the sheer amount of certainty being expressed. i am not at all confident that i really know anything here!

I'm not so much "pretending everything is fine" as "knowing that replacing Biden would be a useless shitshow that would make everything way worse".

If he's gotta go elsewhere, I'm glad it's to a team that's easy to root for. His going to the Lakers or Clippers would've been a nightmare.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

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.

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

If Biden does drop out, I'm looking forward to the flawless media pivot from "Why won't Biden drop out?" to running endless "Dems in disarray!" type stories for months on end.

Biden does *not* need to step down. Instead, he needs to jump to the left, and then take a step to his right with his hands on his hips and then bring his knees in tight.

It's utterly confounding because it does feel like a Stallone movie, but interspersed with half a dozen variations on the "Axel does a kerrazy character to talk his way into somewhere!" bit.

I think II at least looks good (Tony Scott's slickness is far easier to appreciate in retrospect after living through Michael Bay and Zack Snyder), but it's so weirdly grim and irritating. III plays like it was made for TV, but at least it's actually trying to be fun.

Joe's pitch for Killers of the Flower Moon was pretty weak. He took the focus from the Osage people in favour of a detailed portrait of the area's trains.

A lot of things that Biden wants to do are things I think are good things we should do. A lot of things Trump wants to do are things I think are bad things we shouldn't do. Therefore I will be supporting Biden even though I don't agree with him on everything. This is not complicated.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.
