Absolutely losing my shit that the country likely turns into a fascist dictatorship or not depending on how an hour of TV played with an editorial board a handful of billionaires. Like if the Game of Thrones nosedive meant we became communist but nominally parliamentarian.

Asked if the NYT had the capacity to cover another Jan 6 style event, one senior media official took a long pause and said “that would depend on a lot of things.” One European daily editor was more forthright and said simply “No.”

“The story describes an America in the thrall of its own self-destruction, with hearty doses of climate change, government surveillance, corporate control, PTSD, media overload, and the porn industry.” Getting a lot of “what if the beats of Idiocracy, but more than one joke and it aged well?” here.

ALSO -a Biden withdrawal under duress would weaken any successor by inviting further attacks on them -it alienates a good number of the 14 million people who voted for him in the primaries absolute temper tantrum that makes things worse for Democrats that they wouldn’t reasonably abide

The pundits are crazy -Biden’s unpopularity is due not to age but to economic concerns, which would dog any D candidate -No prominent D is any more popular than Biden -If the concern actually is mental acuity, a Biden cabinet would be more likely invoke the 25th amendment than a Trump cabinet
