Biden won because he was moderate enough.
MiddleModerateCenter is acceptable to most. Progressive is acceptable to progressives. Give most of the people what they want.
Independents in swing states, enthusiasm, and turnout should be the focus. Everything else is etched in stone.

Simply put, it is not possible for me to bring any persuadable, undecided family or friends into the fold. So many people rely on the most widely broadcast information when determining who they vote for.
I wish things were different, but I don't think Joe will overcome this. It sucks.

Let me be clear. In my opinion, John Roberts has joined Roger Taney (Dred Scott - slavery) as a Chief Justice who will be remembered as an evil man. Not just wrong, but worthy of eternal condemnation for trying to destroy the Republic.

The other thing is that it’s so lawless a decision that it cannot be respected as precedent. It feels like a Supreme Court that succeeds this one should ignore its rule against advisory opinions to immediately overturn this one without waiting for a case to come up to do it.

From Wikipedia:
Hillsdale resisted federal civil rights regulations, particularly concerning affirmative action, enacted in the 1960s. The college's trustees adopted its own "Declaration of Independence." It affirmed Hillsdale's stance against governmental control.

America worried he was frail and addled. Seeing him flying solo and exposed intensely exacerbated their worries. Joe's stubborn stutter exacerbated the exacerbation.

Biden must finish term. Harris needs to start acting as if the campaign is hers & must be everywhere. She should attend & participate at the NATO summit. Joe should stick to teleprompter & Rah-Rah events. Buys DNC a few weeks, then decision time. Harris VP pick should be white dude from swing state.

While they figure out a plan, Harris needs to campaign like she is running for president. The country needs to become familiar with her and believe she can step in at the drop of a hat. Teleprompter Joe and Badass Harris until further notice. November is coming. Giddy up.

One thing you can't say about the 6 justice majority is that they can't imagine or think a hypothetical parade of horribles won't happen. That's not this case. The wolf is at the door. The litigant in this case is the person who already was president, attempted a coup and is a career criminal.

As the people in our life get older, we have to help them keep track of their medications, pay their bills, and make sure they eat and bathe. At some point, we take their car keys. Somewhere in this process, we deliver the hard news that a run for President is out of the question.

The Heritage President claims their direct mail campaign gets gifts from 500K people/year averaging $82. I have no reason to doubt that, and I'm sure many are fine people. FWIW, the white Christian nationalist with ties to domestic terrorists that I'm researching was one of those small donors.

Look everyone, the Heritage Foundation is just like those scrappy New England farmers who picked up their muskets to preserve their freedom from an overweening government. Anywho, here's the list of donors who gave Heritage >$100K in 2022. This is just one year.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up.
The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?
