my takeaway from a lot of this—substantive "what should the dems do" questions aside because I have no idea—is that people are incredibly weird about aging and disability

gratitude to those who have pushed gross donations almost to $4,000 for this month! They need $10,000 and we're so much closer than a couple of days ago. Thank you so much and have a good night.

I don't know if they still do this on tours at Carlsbad, but when I was a kid there was a point where you were way underground and they turned off the lights so you could see how dark it is and I don't think I've ever disliked anything more

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

yeah. and the ethical void here is just beyond description. like Petey Baker doesn't vote because that might indicate Political Bias but it's fine for the entire org to hound the president out of office in a fit of pique when the republic itself is literally on the line

I think it’s telling that if you search “Trump AND rape” on the New York Times website you don’t get a single article mentioning the E. Jean Carroll case but if you search “Biden AND old” you get 18,026 hits.

this is the newspaper that published tom cotton calling for us to be shot in the street, of their own free will, and without even reading his piece first, or editing it. you simply do not have to accept them as an unbiased source.

It'd be so great if he went to the Secretary of Ed tomorrow and ordered him to zero out all student loans. Official act! Then made abortion available at every VA hospital for anyone who needs one. Official act! He didn't ask for the power, but at least use it for good if you've got it

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

I know this is tongue in cheek, but the point is that the limitation is the scope of the office as the Court sees it. within that scope, it’s open season. so under the majority’s logic, for example, there’s really no limit to what the president could use the military for.

95% of the “Biden must step aside” argument rests on wishcasting a perfect storm: Biden steps down gracefully, there’s minimal fallout for Dems, Kamala steps aside, a talented young gun steps in and performs well. It’s not impossible but to act like it’s a layup is nuts.

Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.
