Maybe office holders. I'm stunned by how many local Democratic operatives I know are yelling at voters - people they know personally - on social media for simply voicing concerns.

This meme is exactly what's wrong with their logic. Nobody who thinks Biden is no longer the strongest choice is suddenly endorsing Trump. Exactly the opposite. Unless you're claiming any other Democratic candidate is the Joker. JFC.

Again, too many Democrats who've demanded conservatives choose country over party are strangely digging in their heels now that's it's their turn to make the difficult decision. What I don't understand is why this is suddenly an emotional decision for so many people who've claimed to be rational.

Are you asking that all public fireworks displays should be banned? Because I'm against private neighborhood use, but many people love fireworks and the act of banning public displays only encourages more and more private use.

Are you arguing against a public fireworks show, or private individuals using fireworks? Because those are two different things regulated completely differently by jurisdiction.

I think Tim Miller does a good job of explaining it here at 10:30 youtu.be/DVZYXF9Yau8?... . It's irritating but not irrational. What's irrational is continuing to stick the party's head in the sand and denying what 51 million people saw last Thursday.

@juliemason.bsky.social as usual, A B sees it clearly. Biden can choose to end his legacy weak for himself at nature's discretion like Diane Feinstein or Ruth Ginsberg, or he can leave his legacy strong for the nation on his own terms like Nancy Pelosi.

@juliemason.bsky.social Tracy Sefl is not assuaging my perception that neither Biden's campaign nor Democrats fully understand the magnitude of Thursday's debate, and that they lack the ability to react to it. She's not wrong.

This chart doesn't even sell that idea. In every scenario, the winner is in the grey band. Force those people to choose R/D/stay home for each candidate, and that will tell you if any candidate can beat Trump.

This conclusion is shallow. The chart basically proves a fixed polarity, but that the grey bit in the middle determines the winner each time. Force the non decided to choose R/D/stay home for each selection and then see who wins.

@juliemason.bsky.social in 20/20 hindsight, fascinating that it turned out to be Biden that actually needed a crowd to perform with energy, not Trump.

IDK, I think many of them are coming around to the fact that their deep pockets should protect them in a second Trump term. Might not be true, but they're convincing themselves.

Nope. This die was cast the moment Biden picked Harris as a running mate. And made the gambit Trump wouldn't run again in defeat. Now it just plays out.

It's pretty rough, but entirely predictable over there. The insane part is Biden is coming here to NC after for a midnight rally. His campaign staff is going to have a long day tomorrow looking in the mirror.

I believe the prediction is that Trump will be tempered without the crowd to play to. But I'm thinking 45 minutes into speaking without the crowd feedback to energize and direct his act, he gets completely bored with the affair. He either falls flat, or lashes out just to entertain himself.

@juliemason.bsky.social your last guess confused me in that, there's a crisis on the border, but we can't have a President take immediate executive action to mediate it. Better to wait on the intentionally slow and deliberate Congress to get around to it.
