"Politics would be interesting again" is such a telling phrase, a sign that you're so insulated by money and power that it's all just entertainment for you.

Whatever you think about Biden, look at the New York Times. They are unabashedly cheerleading for him to drop out. We should never again think of the Times as a liberal or even a neutral paper. The NYT takes sides when they want to. When they don't take a side, that's a choice.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

Just unfollowed someone so fast on the other site after they shared a post talmbout people being selfish for 'fearmongering' about Project 2025 in order to get people to vote Republicans' stated intentions are scary, but providing accurate info about them is not fearmongering! It's just the stakes!

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

If you subscribe to a newsletter but later change your mind, just email the author and ask for a refund. Most of us will give you one. Really tired of people canceling by filing "fraud" disputes with their banks over a $6 charge. I get charged $15 for each dispute, whether I win or lose.

John Roberts pretends not to know what Donald Trump will do with the immunity Roberts just gave him just like John Roberts pretended not to know what Republicans would do when John Roberts gutted the Voting Rights Act.

You literally are supporting it. You responded to a post criticizing the NYT for downplaying Trump's lies, racism & incoherence by justifying their decision to do so. I note that you've been silent on the non-lie points. Do you also consider Trump's racism & mental challenges unworthy of coverage?

It is YOUR standard, you're the one posting it at me. Now that it's been made clear how dumb and dishonest it is you're trying to say "hey it's not me, it's just capitalism, so nobody should criticize it!" Which is kind of a weird stance for a self-described "Unapologetic Marxist socialist."

Things I *am* confident of: 1) Whoever the Democrats nominate is better than Trump 2) Trump & the GOP are the most significant threat to America since the civil war 3) the news media is obscuring #2 So those are the kinds of things I'm focused on, fwiw.

I don't have a high degree of confidence in my assessment of who the Democratic Party should nominate this year, nor do I have a high degree of confidence in anyone else's assessment, which is part of why I'm staying out of that conversation.

This is not merely a glib and dumb standard, you are also inconsistently applying it. Joe Biden has been old for years, voters have expressed concern about Joe Biden being old for years. Your insistence on holding Trump to a lower standard speaks volumes.

I could not disagree more strongly with the notion that the news media should not center Donald Trump's many flaws in its coverage of this campaign simply because the existence of those flaws has previously been reported. Also "Biden is old" ain't exactly unplowed ground, if that's the standard.
