So many who think of themselves as politically savvy geniuses are really showing they don’t know much about politics at all.

I just don’t think we should be taking electoral advice from a guy who was flummoxed by a residency requirement.

Know what? The discussion is not about if Biden can do the job in 3 years and 4 years. Get over the finish line to save democracy! Then the orange Mussilini can be dealt with and locked in a rubber room where he belongs.

What? The MAGA party is running a convicted felon, see abuser, serial liar etc...and they stand by their man. Biden had one shaky night and this happens! Dems better stand up and grow a spine or ya'll will find out soon what it's like to live in exile under stinky.

One of my complain about Harris is that she has felt invisible throughout Biden’s term and I’m realizing as I see so many writers fantasize about Biden stepping down and immediately shoot past Harris to someone else, that part of that has been the press ignoring her this whole time

Once, I thought it would be nice to become a pundit, but I realized I prefer to be right. Punditry is the only profession where an error rate above 80% makes you a superstar.

So let’s say the Dems replace Biden on the ticket. Press unleashes 3 months of “Dems in Disarray” stories and the replacement candidate gets no traction. Democracy ends.

I seem to recall similar bed wetting after Obama’s first debate in 2012. The other guy is a convicted felon who lies every third word out of his mouth.

The best so far are the people pointing to the 1968 election like it didn’t usher in Nixon. Also, LBJ was dying and he knew it.

Can’t wait to see Sherrod Brown fire up the base and not only undo the debate damage but the already down trending sentiment in the swing states.

I think it's just typical White male forgetting that other races/genders besides themselves exist. Replace Biden with anyone other than Harris is forgetting that black women not only exist, but are the backbone of the Democratic party.

I think the call for Whitmire proves that they think the problem with Harris is that she is black. I think the bigger problem with mainstream voters is that she’s a woman. Then there’s the ACABs in who reluctantly vote Dem.

People need to realize that for 10s of millions it was the first time to see Trump in his full mania and factor that into the calculus of the effect for non- political pundits. The only people that really matter.

Anyone who is calling for a replacement bc he had a bad sick day should have to explain why they don't get fired when sick One person replied to me & said they didn't feel fatigued when they are sick and I was like "congrats on being like 18 years old. It gets worse" they did not counter my point

This morning I kept thinking about Trump crowing about how he “aced” these cognitive tests. Ok, so a 5150 hold is possibly not appropriate, yay MAGA. (Not sure this has meaning outside of California)

I would like Lawrence O'Donnell to make a running segment on his show where he has one of these people on every day to patiently explain to them why they're a fucking moron and their ideas are fucking stupid.

The issue is twofold: First is how in the early days of the admin, she was publicly sidelined. They failed to build her as a successor early. Second is that she suffers from the Bingo Bob Russell syndrome: the feeling that she was put on the ticket for a constituency, not for her political skills.

I still poke over to the bad place sometimes. Man, there is a stark difference with the freak out and piling on over there, vs the more reasoned response over here. I feel like they're just stirring each other up, or clout chasing, or something.

I think people are looking at the swing states bc that’s where this race can be won. I think Kamala is great but I don’t think she can carry PA, MI, and WI. But Whitmer and Shapiro could most certainly carry MI and PA.
John Oliver does a good job of laying out the crisis: youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s?...

It's unbelievable, almost, how many of them shat the bed the last couple of days. Unless, of course, one considers that it's widely speculated there's an NYT vendetta against Biden.

If they do that, Trump might win 40 states and get 60 MAGA Republicans in the Senate. And then we’re completely utterly doomed.

Biden must lean in to being old. Shine a light on himself, talk about it always. 💙I'd like a gathering of 29-year-olds to say what they're doing re family, job, + loss. Then Joe takes us back to what HE was doing at 29 - youngest elected to Senate, married w 3 kids, child and wife are killed.
