the difference been pundits who have spent too much time huffing gasoline and journalists who are actually thinking through this with seriousness is whether they think having a contentious, brokered convention is less problematic than just going with biden's elected successor.

"Politics would be interesting again" is a hell of a thing to say this week, or any week in the past nine years.

Are you the only op-ed writer who hasn't lost their mind? I think it might be possible.

The entire topic reads like a fanfiction version of American government. "Let's pretend that the rules of succession don't exist. Now we can replace Joe Biden with Rockabs McHugeschlong!"

Anne Applebaum should (sincerely) stick to writing about Eastern Europe, and hanging out with Christina Hoff Summers.

It does make clear that what they want is a show, not anything that's politically useful or democratically advantageous.

I'm not the biggest Harris fan but I mean the American people did hold a national vote on "who should step up if Biden stops being president for some reason" and Harris won so 🤷

If you're trying to place yourself in the latter category, I'm afraid it only serves to call out that both seem content to treat this as a no-stakes horse race, or to accept a single poll as evidence that this strategy will totes work.

We literally had to pass a law just to get Biden/Harris on the ballot in Ohio. Do they think the Republicans are going to go along with that a second time?

My hot probably wrong take is that democratic infighting is good actually, the lack of primaries means democratic issues and leaders aren't featured in media and the public isn't thinking about them, a contentious convention might actually activate democratic voters instead of turning them away

At this point I doubt the vast majority of pundits think past how many clicks their next post will get. One thing they obviously do not care about is the stakes of the next election and how it will impact their viewers/ readers

Spurned access journalists posting shit like this to get back at a politician for freezing them out really gives off a real "NOTICE ME! DEBBIE WHY WONT YOU NOTICE ME!" energy.

“MILLIONS WOULD WATCH”. And like… so?? Millions of people watch “arrests gone wrong” videos on YouTube every day. A spectacle is not a political positive.
