if you actually get *paid* to write about politics for a living, screaming that the nominee has to drop out after one bad debate *in june* (and one in which the challenger did not do well, either), you are unqualified for your job and your salary

it's never been clearer to me how much big press and media rely on "created" news, taking last night's debate in contrived directions for profit you can imagine how excited they were, just giddy with anticipation and excitement, about what they'll manufacture for consumption for hours on end

Also, the nominee needs to be finalized before the convention this year. A contested convention is logistically impossible, so there is no mechanism for selecting a new candidate. The professionals should know this.

It’s also hard to forget how easily Hillary crushed Trump in every debate by any objective measure, and yet. Maybe voters dgaf about debates? Worth considering

There was a 30% decline in viewership from last campaign season's debates. I'm assume b/c most of us already know how we're voting and don't feel like listening to that crap. I don't know if the press is banking on that and trying to shift opinion through headlines, but it kind of feels that way.

You wanna see some alternate reality nonsense? Go check out the video titles over on TYT in the last 24 hours. It's fucking nuts. Worth it for a laugh.

Democratic elites have not known what it’s like to be the underdog in a presidential contest since 2004, and it shows.

To be honest, I think that was going to be their line no matter what Biden did in the debate. Especially since they gave Trump a pass for his crap. Prediction: The standard commentary on the next debate will be "Trump was surprisingly presidential".

Everything is fucking reactionary now . People on social media panicky reacting to things has infested every other form of media. It's god damn fucking annoying. The press is turning into the political equivalent of reaction videos on TikTok/Youtube which the lowest form of "entertainment".

One reason many of us here has had to outsource punditry to our online friends — probably not recommended under ideal circumstances!! — is there is no alternative
