If I was Biden, the proof I would show these people and newspapers is the calendar, clearly showing how it is currently fucking July before the general election

I don't understand why people seemingly aren't considering the massive logical nightmare switching mid-stream is going to be. Will it be the same campaign managers? If not, who will it be? Will they have their own ideas about how best to do things? Will there be internal strife (yes there will be)?

I imagine one compelling bit of evidence is: "I beat him before when Clinton didn't." It's so demoralizing watching them panic so loudly and openly. Like they do know people can see and hear them, right?

Like, what is this nonsense? What assurances can he possibly give? It's a live ball! But Dems just want to do their usual shtick of "We have voiced our concerns, now somebody else please handle this."

Exxxxactly. It's like they have a phalanx of political consultants all giving them different advice. The people who want people to consider them leaders refuse to be leaders who make decisions.

When polls are saying Biden is up five in Michigan but New York is a battleground and Trump has 40% of the African American vote but Biden has 60% of the elderly, idk man polls are fucked some sort of way. Maybe Biden loses a historic landslide or he’s up by 5 but they’re fucked some sort of way

Something people are sleeping on: One of the 4 state justices who voted to make abortion illegal in Iowa in late June, David May, is up for retention this fall.

One point I was only able to mention briefly but that bears spelling out: Roberts' opinion makes things worse *even in the very specific ground of presidents' ability to engage in politically-motivated prosecutions of their rivals.*

The decision claims that the administration went too far literally by citing the actual ruling in the Bostock decision so when that works its way up to the Supreme Court we're going to see Bostock set the record for the fastest turnaround from decided to overturned.

The GOP push to destabilize the 2024 election has already begun, with lawsuits filed in a host of states around familiar Trump talking points: mail-in ballots, supposed voter-registration fraud, etc. β€œThis is how you build a story that enables political interference in the post-election process." 🎁

It's gonna be so much fun when they deport all these migrants and suddenly there will be no one to fill the jobs they held before, and then those companies are gonna beg the federal government for handouts which Trump will happily give. Then comes the crash.

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

Here's the thing: the people pulling the fire alarm on Trump v. US are people like Radley, Legal Eagle and @kenwhite.bsky.social , etc. I've followed these guys for years and they are not prone to panic-mongering. They're usually the ones saying, "Take a deep breath". It really is that bad.

Is there any lesson to be taken from the French moderate liberal and left earnestly trying to cooperate and help one another defeat a reactionary threat to democracy? Yes there is, until anyone one degree off from my personal political leanings pisses me off over anything, and I mean anything.

Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Fanfic. The only option is Harris. Period. She is Biden's running mate. People voted for her. There is no -- NO -- way to ask her to step aside that is not insulting. None. The article says that people would be "captivated." Wrong; this would guarantee a million Dems In Disarray stories.
