i am sincerely thinking about the right combination of terms i need to use to avoid biden old and replace biden discourse, we have been on this for too many days and the whole thing is legitimately irritating and i don’t want to talk about it anymore at all, with anyone, even everyone i like.

the Dem caucus is ridiculous this one by one stuff is just dragging this out for weeks and doing more damage to the entire party just figure it the fuck out, guys sit down, do a secret ballot vote, decide if you're going to call for Biden to step down with a united front or not stop this

"we're doomed if Biden is the nominee" well, maybe! but you are sure as shit doomed if Biden is the nominee and the story for months on end is "random Democrats call for him to step down one by one"

I think the corporate owners of media outlets are really overplaying their hands with this massive feeding frenzy and pile-on. People are getting fed up. It’s even getting through to normies because it’s sofa king blatant.

Well, now that the consensus is that we can't possibly win no matter what happens, maybe we should post more cat pics. /s

I'm absolutely loving the mental image conjured by describing the behavior of the likes of John Roberts as "digging through the trash bins of history like racist raccoons looking for leftover oppression". Really wish I'd developed the skills to draw that.

When I saw the tiny trail of black smoke rising from my pantry, I immediately knew what it meant. There would not be a new Mouse Pope this day.

The only thing that would make this plan better would be to just randomly select two names from the phone book.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

I feel like, should this be implemented, it would be the same as the COVID "lockdowns". It would not apply to any "essential workers," meaning that basically any blue collar worker would be forced to work those days, like it or not.

The claim that Project 2025 is "fearmongering" pairs nicely with the Project 2025 people saying they will kill anyone who gets in their way

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!
