I'm going to skip over arguing any one issue because it's a losing proposition to compare one tragedy/horror to another. I just mean that Obama was disappointing on more issues. Biden's administration keeps surprising me in good ways.

You said that Macron's party was running third in many races so they would have to drop out and cede victory to leftists if they didn't want the far right to win...
I don't know how much insight you have into this, but to what extent do you think Renaissance candidates will actually do that?

I've missed out on all of this in part because Jake and I unfollowed each other months ago and mostly because I'm not around much anyway, but I'm sorry this has been happening to y'all/glad that it feels like you're coming out the other side of it. You two are great and I wish y'all all the best.

To me, the biggest divide I see here is between people who think that voting for Biden means endorsing every single one of his policies, and thus endorsing genocide, versus people who see it as a pragmatic choice between two starkly different outcomes.

Biden has really surprised me across a ton of issues. He's gotten more major legislation passed than I thought possible, his DoJ has been really aggressive, his executive branch has been smart and targeted with its use of its power.

I saw it hit the front page of Reddit as well, but I have yet to see that story in any of the publications laser-focused on calls for Biden to step down

Man, and who even is "Dem leadership" in this scenario? Who do they think composes this magical cabal that would anoint the next party leader without letting their own relationships and interests get in the way of unifying behind the unnamed, idealized savior waiting in the wings?

Polls aren't votes. It's Biden or Harris or chaos.
There is no obvious choice that "voters" will immediately rally behind. And aside from that, at least one recent poll has shown Harris and Buttigieg running about equally against Trump.

Gordon ramsey should do a show where he hires a bunch of 5 year olds to come up with dishes for a restaurant, and then goes apeshit at actual cooks to make those dishes in a real restaurant.
