i'm gonna be on my deathbed in 40 years mumbling that clyburn had 6 weeks to come up with a line for when dobbs officially dropped and his day-of answer was "it's a little anticlimactic"

watching them fail to even understand, let alone meet, the moment for 8 years and counting has been absolutely infuriating. while condescendingly assuring everyone else that they know best

regardless of what happens with the nomination, i will say this generation of dems--biden, pelosi, shumer, durbin, clyburn--have kindled a deep-seated hatred in me for them and their leadership, which is quite a feat given that i'm a lifelong dem who's voted, volunteered, and donated for 24 years

I have a vivid memory from six months ago of some centrist relatives rolling their eyes when I said Biden was paving the way for Trump to retake power. Now they're calling their representatives and asking them to endorse Harris replacing him. Something different is in the water now

the trump immunity ruling is the gift that keeps on giving, one thing that absolutely could've changed the story was his sentencing that was supposed to be next week, but instead it's delayed for 2 months for stupid motions with no chance of success

hey man this is what I said in 2019 but we lost that argument. idk what to tell you, the primaries are over and he cruised. the opportunity to replace him passed unless he’s legitimately medically incapable or decides he doesn’t want to 🤷♂️

i get why this pisses people off--this pisses me off too!--but it's not a sign of cognitive decline? idgi. are people really just now grasping that joe biden has failed to appreciate the threat of trump/the right/the supreme court?

People are getting confused and thinking this means I think Joe Biden is the ideal candidate or that nobody else would do a better job - not true! I just think that decision was made four years ago and reversing it is a guaranteed path to utter catastrophe

Imagine writing a NYT piece talking about how the court, actually, is good right now.
But Will Baude did it! Essentially, saying that all they get wrong was the Trump cases — and then insists, sort of, IDK, that even that was for what they thought were good reasons. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/o...

there are a lot of reasons that american presidential elections take so long but a big one imo is just money. it takes time to raise a billion dollars. others include our ridiculous and arcane system, how big our country is compared to european democracies, etc.

unfortunately, it seems not even being convicted of 34 felonies can get the GOP to eat themselves, whereas a bad debate can send the entire left coalition into a week long panic

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.

real testament to world-building acumen and ability to set tone that a midsommar-esque village where none of the inhabitants pay attention to you and all are spinning and dancing and laughing, and it's covered in flowers, is somehow the most unnerving locale in all of elden ring
