I like old dead languages, ancient history, the US not being fascist, the LA Galaxy, the Seahawks, the NWSL, the Rolling Stones, Star Trek, and probably other stuff I haven't thought to mention yet.

I am a Harris fan. And even so, I think making a switch now would be way worse than sticking with a nominee who appears not to be in great shape.

Dobbs is an excellent example of how the party's base had to drag the leadership to the right position. But it can be done.

If they lose this one we will all have way bigger problems than the Democratic Party's inadequacies. Think what you want, but further discussion of this is not helpful.

Well, I think losing is more likely if he does step down. It's up to all of us to hammer home Project 2025 and the Epstein stuff and everything else.

Dragging out this argument makes stopping the fascists that much harder, though.

He wasn't my first choice. But people voted for him. Most of the time, he's done a better job than I thought he would. Now, it is looking like we're going to have to drag him across the finish line ourselves. But that's what we're dealing with; the alternative is too awful to contemplate.

It's completely stupid as hell. But we know it's stupid as hell. Making a change now would bring in way too many variables we can't account for, not least being ratfucking lawsuits to keep our new ticket off the ballot.

Wasn't being suspected of trying to pass a counterfeit bill the start of how George Floyd got killed? I am positive he is fully aware of this, too.

Agreed. And I quite like Harris. But "...and then awesomeness ensures" is not a realistic plan.

This is sad. I'd heard stories of Ellis being weird/evil, most notably from Rapinoe, but I didn't want to believe them too thoroughly because at least the USWNT was winning. And I like a lot of what the Wave has done. But this is a problem of the sort the league has already had way too many of.

And really, of COURSE Harris wants to be president. Isn't it telling that she'd rather wait four years and try to get there the regular way?

And yet, trying to steal it back once he'd lost it is about the only thing he's done any sort of work for in his whole waste of a life.

Yep. I understand we may end up collectively having to drag him across the finish line. But every other alternative seems even more dubious.

Whether the giant leaking hefty bag of orange diarrhea will admit it or not, Biden kicked his ass four years ago. Of course that's unforgivable.

I know this because just this morning I returned a bunch of library books (figuring UCLA won't enforce parking early on the 4th of July, and they weren't!): There are signs at the drop box saying, Do NOT drop ILL books in here!

This seems like it ought to be a scandal, although I have a hunch that the NYT will say they didn't have time to verify the claims because Biden is old. 🙄

I believe Biden still is our best chance, above all because the challenges of switching nominees at this point are more daunting than those of sticking with him. But think of it as voting Biden-HARRIS; that should help some.
