“They’re fucked in some sort of way” really does have to be the MO here regarding all polls. Some of what’s happening defies reality and all historical experience. They’d probably do a better job asking 1000 people coming out of a large event in a major city than all this shit

These posts are why I am fundamentally optimistic about the future- and why this election really is uniquely important. We literally need to stop them him this one last time and the odds the GOP goes through enormous upheaval rise dramatically! The gop infrastructure is in shambles!

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

We really do need to corral like one or two rich dem or left leaning people to fund a catch up. It’s the same problem as a lack of a Federalist Society equivalent for Dems. We’re generally more heterogenous and didn’t need to work our way into power the same way these groups did at their inception

something that has been really striking about this election is the degree to which Republicans have just assumed that they're going to win despite running a candidate that lost the last election, with a huge fundraising disadvantage and a GOT apparatus that seems uh not very professional

Remember in the heat of all this that we’re on the same side, and we all want to defeat nascent fascism in November. We can disagree on a lot of things, including the best way forward, without fracturing what makes us strong- that we’re all in this together. Have a little grace with each other rn

the debate was awful, and highlighted everyone’s worst fears, but these kind of tactics exploit events as they happen and widen existing cleavages. Concerns about Biden *are* real- all the better to pour fuel on a 5-alarm panic that pits Dems against each other. It can be both

Don’t know if I’m poking the bear but anyone who hasn’t should really listen to this call from today. if this is how he can campaign moving forward (and I always thought the debate would be the ‘real’ beginning of the campaign) he shits on Trump for like 20 mins straight and makes solid points.

It is weird and sort of bolsters the part of me that think so much of this is weak knees and media/donor bs- why have the most Left parts of the party uniformly supported Biden in this moment, especially when they are the most clear eyes on the actual stakes of this moment?

If he had come back swinging, good media strategy, corralled the party- I’d be 100%. Shit even fired some campaign advisors/staffers for that shit prep- but none of that. Ftr I have seen every event he’s done since the debate, and they were *fine* but do you want *fine* rn? I get why ppl are worried

I’m still not sure what the best course of action is (and it’s not my job to decide!) but it’s the way he/the campaign have handled the past week that pushes me towards ‘step down’ more than the debate itself. Is this the level of ‘game’ we can expect for the next 4 months?

Exactly. I’m not convinced what path is best rn, but something they’re missing is voters actually don’t care enough that he’s old to not vote for him! The “x% Dems think he’s old” are still all going to vote for him- and the fundraising/polls(for what they’re even worth) bear that out.
