I could not give less of a shit about Biden or his mental abilities, but I do care about winning, and I am not sold that ditching him improves our odds of winning

This is why I never went beyond a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, I just wasn’t this committed to the subject.

If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!

They’re just begging for content. They don’t care about actual democracy, they just want lots of content to feed the hopper.

This is almost word for word what I tell students. Even if you’ve been disillusioned by what’s happening at the state and federal level, you need to get out and shore up your local politics.

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

Today, the federal government put itself on the right side of history by seeking, for the 1st time, to establish the precedent that every worker in America has the right to shade, water & rest while working in temps that could kill them. -UFW President Teresa Romero

One thing I think people forget is how relentlessly *stupid* every day of the Trump administration was. He doesn’t need to do a big elaborate complicated conspiracy, he can just (e.g.) email a list of every U.S. agent in the field to Putin and say it’s to own the libs, and *that* will have immunity.

I think @edburmila.bsky.social is right to point to the 0.7% response rates as one factor. But it’s also media coverage. Mainstream reporters simply do not treat Trump’s statements, plans, or behavior fairly. It’s why I lamented that death-threats-as-politics isn’t being treated as an emergency.

This is a stupider result than just overturning it in its entirety, and the only lens to read it through is Roberts desperately not wanting a shitload of Republican induced chaos right before the election.

Dear Reporters,
