I don't have a strong preference on Biden because of how much uncertainty there is, but seeing stuff like this cross my path is going to kill me. I'm begging people to learn how parties work. You can't Aaron Sorkin your way out of this.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

IDK kind of feels like we should be paying more attention to a prominent conservative think tank saying we're in the midst of a second american revolution that will remain bloodless as long as long as the left lets it be, then whether or not Biden should step down.

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.

I agree. I think a lot of people who are "calling for Biden to step aside" (I'm not in that camp because frankly it's too late) are mostly just venting frustration that he didn't do it earlier. I will obviously vote for him, and I hope others who are venting will do the same.

Imagine where we'd be right now if Biden had done what he said he was going to do: step aside after only one term. Like, if he had made it clear 18 months ago that the field was clear for a new candidate, we'd have a strong candidate with a well-funded machine heading into this election.

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.

Oranges, a gift fit for a king. So says a 1749 letter from Fra Louis-Gabriel de Froullay, Ambassador of the Order of Malta at Versailles, to Grand Master Pinto. Pinto's gift of fleur d'orange and oranges to King Louis XV were given to the king at supper and "all the royal family ate with pleasure."

The fact that a second Trump administration is even a POSSIBILITY is such a tremendous failure on the part of every segment of our political elites. He could have been impeached, convicted, and permanently excluded on the very day. He could have been arrested the second he left office. Etc., etc.
