If they’re loyal democratic voters they need to get a fucking grip and not say anything to reporters but “We’re all excited to crush Trump!!!”

I almost said this today! With all the feverish handwringing and wailing about the Really Old Guy running for president, it would be cosmically hilarious if the OTHER Really Old Guy just suddenly…well, you know.

And because it’s Tolkien he went to delightful lengths to make it coherent in-universe. Bilbo lied in his memoir you see. Because the Ring was evil and protecting itself!!

Other voters can, and will either be pissed at you or will be infected with your pessimism. Either way no one is happy.

And if you insist you’re on board and you support the candidate but every decision they and their people make is wrong? You just have to hope that YOU who’s wrong. Because you need to understand: they can’t hear you.

Listen, if the Biden campaign wanted to quell concerns about his age, they would have put him out there, like in the post-debate pressroom, a rally, an event at the Stonewall monument, a national address, a medal of honor ceremony, a meeting with governors, another rally, and televised interview.

Yeah. People use the word “tactic” to make it seem like it’s an action with a concrete goal. But of course it’s actually a FAILURE to act and a moral dereliction. One that accomplishes nothing! Less than nothing!

A lot of that is ironic I think but yeah it’s a pro-Harris meme. And no it’s not offensive or anything, don’t worry. It’s some saying of her mother’s or somebody like that that she likes to quote. “You didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree” or something like that.

People are going to say foolish things; it’s inevitable. And they’re going to hear about it! We can do that more nicely or less nicely, sure. Sometimes I know I err on the side of “less nicely” lol.

The idea that there's some kind of formal or informal Council of Elders that makes these calls when they have to be made must be comforting to some people. But it bears no resemblance to reality. Candidates do what they want. They're politicians! They don't lack for confidence!
