One pet peeve of mine is when people say “well it was just one bad debate”. Please don’t make me feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills, I’ve seen near every debate for decades now and that was the worst performance I can remember, only other one I can think of is VP debate Adm. Stockdale

If he does resign, he really does need a week or two where elected Democrats have backed off so it doesn't look like he's just buckling to pressure. You want tonight's interview to go well, not be a disaster, so he can exit gracefully. (If he does plan to exit.)

throwing elbows. don’t think it means a lot in terms of what he will do but i do think it’s intended to say - quite vigorously - that everyone should back-off.

this is very aggressive. definitely a warning shot across the bow. i dunno if he’s serious but it’s a threat that he won’t go down quietly.

liberal-democracy is cringe. authoritarianism is based. that’s fine. we liberal-democrats don’t need to apologize for it. cringe is the vox populi. the (actually successful) revolution will be cheugy.

i mocked the stuff about how his campaign was more disciplined this time. i thought it was headgames. and it was. but i gotta admit, this + not stepping on the news with his VP pick for a whole week and letting biden be the center of attention = disciplined campaigning (for him)

i saw some folks worried that, legally, biden couldn’t be replaced on ballots - especially in crucial states like wisconsin - in time.

the heritage foundation put out a memo trying to promote this fear for example.

dave weigel reports here that it’s basically BS.
