The way you know I'm unbiased is that I get a horrible sinking feeling every time I see apparent confirmation that Biden is dropping out, or vice versa

The bind the Democrats are in is that replacing Biden at the top of the ticket (presumably with Harris) is a genuinely destructive, self-defeating, probably insane decision, but, also, _not_ replacing Biden is a genuinely destructive, self-defeating, possibly insane decision. Good luck out there!

It seems to be that the ideal situation is that Biden proves that he can put this shit to rest, at least to the extent that we could expect from a median replacement presidential candidate.

As an aside, I figure that we'll get Harris soon enough in any scenario we don't get Trump. My thinking about what course seems less bad is 100% about blocking Trump, and has nothing to do with my personal sentiments toward either Democrat, which are not positive.

I mean if he plays it right it could be a triumphant/rebellious fuck-y'all - that seems like what he was going for in the Madison rally. But they can't keep underestimating what's required.

Biden's advisors watch, anxiously, as he is placed into the hulking De-Aging Device. The door closes with a chonk and a hiss, coils begin powering up, certain alarms steadily beep. A jolt of light, a sudden sensation of falling. Then silence. The door opens, revealing a baby. "Oh no"

It's not an ideal situation but resignation is not an option unless there is some way to guarantee that a VP will be approved, which I can't imagine happening. Gotta weigh the less than ideal options against each other, warts and all.

Imho great is he has 10 extended interviews that are fine. I care about quantity and consistency more than one impressive showing. Let's not do the SOTU mistake again.

This is so obviously true it was obvious in advance — which makes the Biden White House's haplessness in fighting back so damning.

I've no delusions about the fact that things can get worse but it's little comfort, in fact none at all given the present state of things and the incumbent's virtually unconditional support for starvation and displacement. My cousin Abdullah who fled Rafah three weeks ago certainly isn't comforted.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Anyway, I wish them luck with all the parts that aren't ridiculous or abysmal, which I wouldn't know anything about of course, as we have established. Also this is definitely Donald Trump writing.

For this reason, I'm starting to open up to the idea of Harris getting at least some nominal opposition, even if it's kinda rigged. Put her and the Dem machine through their paces!

FYI the publisher there is a creep. In what was supposed to be a professional reference, he rated me on a scale of 1 to 10 like hot or not or so my ex husband / former supervisor (the person who asked for the reference) told me. This was 2011. Do with that what you will.

I was thinking the other day that all the complaints about these networks cluster into problems of "too much" or "too little". I'm in a sweet spot there where I have enough mutuals to make it worthwhile but not so many followers (or a particular identity) to flood my mentions with toxicity.
