Not that the CPR decals meant anything, but the new "Fighting Crime, Protecting the Public" decal idea feels very juvenile and just worse.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Besides the point, but does he understand anything about election administration? Or, like, just general polling? Because trying to stand up something like this in a few months is wild.

Like Biden's 2020 campaign was built on being the guy who could beat Trump and the guy that would do stuff for Black folks. That's why he picked a Black woman as VP. To just skip over her would lead to so much anger.

I don't think people understand that if Biden DOES drop out and it's not Harris that functionally the entire Black Dem base will feel utterly betrayed. And Black women specifically will be just unbelievably upset.

Was law school a mistake? Did it just create a bunch of people so wedded to the idea of the rule of law that they can't see the blatant exploding of the rule of law happening as a direct result of lawyers acting badly?

If you want to deescalate the conflict the only viable solution is to give the Palestinian people self-determination. Not limited self-rule under Israeli occupation, not a bantustan or a patchwork of enclaves, not "economic opportunity", but political emancipation.

100% agreed. I don't foresee anyone in the House successfully running for president as a rep. And who /is/ the most viable senator? Tammy Duckworth? Mark Kelly running on the platform of "I was an astronaut?"

Iunno, it just seems like senators and reps get shoved down regular people's throats so you have to engage with them and that's not quite as true for governors like Whitmer and Pritzker. But, I probably have recency bias, and they both seem beloved by their constituents, so, they should run.

Do Pritzker or Whitmer have the national profile to successfully run? Newsom does, but I feel like being governor and running in the modern presidential is not a great position to be in.
