I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

Unless you’re part of a revolutionary vanguard party or an underground militant cell, I really don’t know what your refusal to vote adds up to, other than a complete misreading of the point of politics: changing OUTCOMES, not purifying INTENTIONS

And progressives have gotten more from Biden than any other POTUS in recent history. IDK how all of this will shake out in the next couple of weeks but I will be voting for whoever is on that Dem line come November (and tbh it cannot realistically be anyone but Biden or Harris)

Important to realize as we try to retain civility on Bluesky that all the stuff we say to each other will have literally zero impact on whether Biden bows out or not, we’re just hanging around yapping about politics like a bunch of old Greek guys at a sidewalk cafe, no need to take it personally

barring Biden changing his mind this seems to me to end it. there is not a viable mechanism for getting Biden out if he doesn't want to go and he thinks he's functional.

Everyone is angry about the world and scared about the future and defensive on account of being pretty sure (correctly or not) that someone else is blaming them for something terrible and I don’t know if any of that will help but it’s probably useful to acknowledge what’s happening and breathe a bit

i don’t actually know this, this isn’t a rhetorical question, but, like, do other representative democracies expect that their heads of state maintain 14-16 hour a day, 7 day a week schedules, or is that just specific to our national obsession with looking busy?

Yeah, like my brother expects me to be mad that Biden goes to Delaware every weekend and I just cannot gin up any energy to give a shit. He's not unreachable, he's still acting as POTUS he's just in Delaware trying to have a fucking weekend which even our electeds deserve

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people. Folks in red states are living it.

those arguing that taylor swift can't be a role model because she is an unmarried and childless woman at 34 are doing a great job of arguing that children need more women role models who are unmarried and childless at 34

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values
