Coming back to this point. Let's say the party/Biden say hey 'OK we're replacing Joe'. Do we know every procedural step the GOP could take to slow down the process? The crux of J6 was to slow a normally non-exciting part of the transfer of power.

The only way to take the party left, BTW, because I know whose saying shit like this, is to retain power, take more, and obtain a greater voice for that wing of the coalition in a government they helped create. There's no universe where a loss takes this party anywhere but to the right.

I don’t know what kind of outreach by Biden would work right own, but I think he at least needs to try something different than his recent strategy

I’m not sure what the solution is, but at least some kind of closed door meeting with Biden and Dem leadership might help. If Biden has any LBJ in him, that would be the time to let it out.

It is honestly wild how Gaza (a big issue for lots of voters) has fallen out of the conversation so people can fantasize about an open convention. I do wonder if Gaza plus Biden’s shitty debate performance is what is getting us these numbers right now. I still think/hope these numbers can change

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

👇🏻This, exactly, yes. “Cancelling” an author is, I think, not a group project. It’s an individual judgement call based on your relationship to a piece of work. It’s also not a binary. There are intermediate stages. You don’t need to go around defending the things you read at home to the community.

We lost Michael Zulli today. Beautiful, lyrical, mystical storyteller, he was part of the BW Boom of the 80s with his PUMA BLUES, he drew some gorgeous stuff for SANDMAN, and a startlingly fun book about Alice Cooper. All that’s just for starters. Some people, you think will always be out there.

I don’t think we do! It’s more about his ability to campaign in a very specific way. After Jan. 6, I would not risk leaving the VP slot open, which is why I’m leaning toward having him finish the campaign and his term. He can just campaign with Kamala more to remind us of his healthy and younger VP

Tempted to propose a nostalgia progressive platform, starting with public pools and libraries being open every day and for reasonable hours. Oh, and keeping national parks, since apparently that's up for discussion. Things that don't cost much and make life nicer. Anything else I should add to it?

Was “shoebiz conman” the example? You’re just shouting rather than making a clear argument. Are you trying to say “Biden is not Reagan, and I don’t see it working in 2024”?

With the Biden age story, there’s a drumbeat, a crusading intensity that NYT achieves by picking at it incrementally from every angle. That sends an alarm to readers. This doesn’t happen with Trump coverage in the same way.

If unknown dems poll better against Trump before they're revealed, what if the secret is to run a mystery replacement candidate? Make it like the Masked Singer or something. Have them appear at the convention in shrouded robes. Legally change their name to "👤🇺🇸" for the ballots.
