Kinda depends on the location? Like if I’m going to Paris, I’m seeing stuff and not spending a week sitting in a cafe. But if I’m going to the beach or a lake house, it would take an act of God to get me to do things.

My only opinion is that it can't be Trump. I like Biden. I like Harris. Newsom, Walz, Warnock, Whitmer, et al.? Sure, why not. It just can't be Trump. Literally tell me who the Democratic candidate is and that's who I'm voting for because they're not a psychopathic aspiring authoritarian.

SHE VOTED TO MAKE THE PRESIDENT A KING FULLY EXPECTING TRUMP TO WIN AND USE THOSE POWERS WITH ABANDON. "NO MORE KINGS" IS SUCH A BASIC TENET OF WHAT AMERICA IS THAT THEY MADE A SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK VIDEO ABOUT IT.

If the Trump presidency proved anything, it's that a lot of people love permission to be the worst version of themselves.

By contrast, I would vote for Joe Biden's bloated corpse before I'd consider voting for that fascist.

The thing that gets me is that if people were aware that SCOTUS just legalized God-King Trump, the overwhelming majority would vote for Joe Biden's bloated corpse over that. But getting the word out on that would require, y'know, reporting on it.

And when Democrats lose, who will rule? You do realize that a Republican Party led by a criminally immune Trump will never let a competitive election happen again in our lifetimes, right? The US will become Wisconsin of the last 15 years. There won't be a "long process." There will be autocracy.

I've been on several searches and I'm always moved by solemn dignity of the Measuring of the CVs. I don't know how you do the Measuring at Princeton, but we meet in a candlelit room dressed in full regalia. The chair lays the CVs of each candidate on a table. Naturally, the longest gets the job.

When your decision can be fairly described as, “Actually, the American Revolution was misguided, Watergate was totally legal, and we made future military coups easy” it’s a shitty decision.

In 2000, the state of Missouri elected a literal dead guy over John Aschroft, so I don't wanna hear any "Trump's evil but Biden's old, so what are you gonna do" crap from anyone.

When I teach it in my Ethics and Politics of Abortion class, we legitimately spend a day on the Strong Rule of Five. It sucks, but it's honest. On a related note, I'm THRILLED to transition the Hobbesean social contract from "obviously so extreme that no one would accept this" to "SCOTUS approved"

The thing you need to know about Joe Biden's debate performance is that DONALD TRUMP IS A RAPIST WHO WAS CONVICTED OF 34 FELONIES AND OVERSAW AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. Pass it on.
