I’m a bigger believer in “meh” voters — the kind of voters who have the potential to get excited about someone cool but also just not vote

This is also why this issue gets more ongoing attention than SCOTUS/immunity: it is unresolved and evolving, even if it is not as important.

It should be — but I think the trouble is that Trump’s base is 100% for Trump regardless (and it’s sort of the least of his negatives given his record of criminality), while Biden’s base is terrified of Trump winning and would accept a sub if it keeps the coalition together

What I said was, as things stand, either Trump will win or Biden will, but in the latter case probably not by a lot since he is currently down in the polls, and Trump has not promised to accept the results of the election if he loses. How is that description pro-Trump?

Right, this. It’s basically ultra-scrutiny for any age-related misstep up to the election, at which point Trump either wins or begins leading judicial/armed protest against what would probably be a squeaker for Biden

Interesting and in some cases surprising. I really have no idea what’s happening beyond my little neck of the woods, but my sense is that the debate + recent SCOTUS rulings have actually created MORE urgency among bluish voters despite lagging enthusiasm for Biden himself. Who knows

-From dawn to sundown Biden is reliably engaged, and this is when many public events in front of cameras are scheduled. - After sundown Biden lopes on all fours, sharpening his talons on the cobblestones as he lathers at the mouth and calls out mockingly to his prey, according to aides.

It’s extremely unpopular on the left to suggest Biden has lost a step. Media orgs get slammed for pointing it out. Yes, Trump is old too, and his rants are often unhinged. But anyone watching tonight can see Biden is struggling to communicate. I’m not sure the denial has done Democrats any favors.

Also worth noting: many women in this situation are not having their first kid. This policy not only sucks for women (and the people who love them) but risks orphaning a lot of young children. (My water broke at 35 weeks in both pregnancies; I was lucky that babies were far enough along to deliver.)
