Imagine the debates about whether Biden should step aside but 100x worse because he has already stepped aside and now we’re fighting over who should replace him based on whether they’ve used the word genocide to describe what’s happening in Gaza.

I can’t decide if I’m more disturbed by how blatant it is or how many people are so Times-brained that they assume it must be a good idea. It’s all the same people who think voting and donating is the only responsibility we have.

Don’t saddle us with that dipshit please. We have enough to feel bad about.

That’s why it would be interesting to see if there’s a trend. With analytics. Not a couple of sources.

I would be interested in seeing if there are ideological or demographic or voting history trends that correlate to where someone stands on removing Biden

Biden - who I don’t like and never supported and has perhaps completely whiffed on saving democracy - but now I’m one of his biggest cheerleaders bc I think this particular freak out is so misplaced

I just think no one in the top echelons of Dem party is equipped for navigating this moment and institutionally the media isn’t either and this mess is the result

Yes that’s my main issue actually - the media is failing and part of that failure is losing its mind about Biden

I’m sure there are lots of reasons - it seems like another time when the poster was referring to Christianity but didn’t specify because people think “religion” = Christian

It’s odd because Trump makes no sense either so much of the time (not even talking about the substance)

The apparent lack of advance knowledge or subsequent response to Hochul killing congestion pricing already convinced me that there’s absolutely no communication among any of those people but I attribute it to incompetence not bc they think Biden can’t make decisions

Weren’t we all? They had no strategy for Roe, they did nothing when Hochul pulled the rug out on the most visible climate change policy in the country completely reinforcing the idea that Dems have no principles and don’t want to govern when they have power. Deferring to the Times seems on par.

If they weren’t so deferential/scared of the Times and its readers I think the campaign would be a lot more antagonizing with them - this is only one of their daily journalistic failures

I don’t trust that the top leaders of the party aren’t relying on vibes created by Times’ editorials - they don’t seem to have good instincts and no one seems in charge of anything

It is remarkable how many Times columnists are either Jewish, Catholic, or Brooks (ie both).

This is not true of the many people I know who have converted to Judaism. It is the Harvard syndrome: all Harvard grads seem obnoxious but that’s because it is only the obnoxious ones that make sure you know they went to Harvard.

We’d be one heartbeat away from President Michael Johnson who, when assuming power after secret service turns on Kamala, would use his new presidential powers to drone strike everyone who has a masturbation relapse
