Cannot imagine how you watched live and had that reaction. Do you think he won on substance about his golf handicap? He couldn't respond to any of the lies the other guy said in real time, it was not a tone problem. There was zero substance because he couldn't speak and convey ideas.

sorry but the reaction among voters is organic and genuine based on what we all saw. Turning the whole thing into a NYT ratfuck narrative is a weird coping mechanism.

If we're talking normie voters, I think there's a current of people thinking pols are too old and entrenched and resenting the whole system for it - not unique to Dems (look at Grassley, woof) but recent high profile Dem examples loom large

Plenty of people connecting these two, as well as RBG. Democrats have a "too old" problem that really pisses people off.

Ultimately they're two parts of the same broader discussion. SCOTUS rulings underscore what's at stake, and why a permanently diminished nominee is a disaster. Hope you're right about normie reaction to the court.

It sure seems like it among all the voters I've talked to. I hope you're right. Not sure why you're so kneejerk disdainful, this is the national conversation right now, literally hear random ppl talking about it walking through parks and coffee shops today. They're not all just stupid and wrong.

The ones that journalists are reporting elected Dems and donors are having - if there's any way to stop this disaster or pressure him to step aside. It's obviously a long shot, not sure why you're mocking the concept at a time when tens of millions of people are hoping something can be done

Genuinely dispirting to see people as smart as you so disdainful of even having the conversation while millions of people are shocked and ejecting after last night. Is being right about the inevitability of this hell satisfying?

I guess just insult the intelligence of tens of millions of genuinely concerned people including numerous former Biden aides and prominent elected lawmakers freaking out behind the scenes. Feels like a real world Don't Look Up right now. We haven't even had the convention yet.

There isn't one. The realistic scenario is that inertia and smug rule following lead to terrible outcomes with a sure Biden loss. Be more creative, life is short.

LBJ did not. Regardlese, precedent doesn't feel too vital right now. I want to believe we have the courage and humanity to make a change when it's needed, unusual as it may be. He has a less than 1% chance. Give me any messy replacement process.

The mechanism is pray the same people who huddled to stop Bernie do the same and pressure Joe now. That he needs to be pressured and didn't do it himself is a world historical malfeasance.

I suspect we share most values. Calling everyone who sees the situation differently an idiot isn't serious or helpful. Denialism will bury us all. Take care.

Nope. Plenty of reliable Obama-Clinton-Biden voters who've been defending him up until last night. Any reasonable person who's being honest with themselves sees there's more chance Biden doesn't live to inauguration day than is inaugurated president. He cannot win now. Adapt or die.

It's actually very smart serious people who are horrified by what's occurred. You don't have to agree but it's not just morons. The people circling the wagons this morning look more like the tapioca swuad. We haven't even had the convention yet, thank god.
