prefacing this by saying my philosophy of quit whining & nut up still applies, but if the biden team can’t hold down the fort with the gormless little weasel brigade of rando dem advisors & backbenchers & media toadies then it’s better to cut bait & kick it to harris because they just love this shit

just might want to hit yourself in the face with a jewelers hammer ten or twenty times a day because the same gormless slugs are gonna feed the word “likability” into the nyt a billion times a day until you want to reverse your own literacy

It's not a good sign that the campaign has been more explicit in calling out Pod Save America than they have been on, like, Chevron getting overturned.

they're not rando, that's the problem! They problematic ones all worked for Obama, revolved to the corporate world (SKDK, Perkins Coie), and revolved back in to Biden. The new advisors, the digital team, are good! The strategists (except Donilon, apparently) are bad.

You speak my language. Also, (and let me preface this by stating it’s late & I’m overtired), I could have sworn your profile said “trump” shepherd and not “turnip” shepherd. But I believe in the serendipity of the moment and I shall refer to trump as turnip. (But not the turnip you shepherd.) 😁

It's pretty unfair to blame anyone else but Biden's team. This obviously wasn't the first time. What TF does anyone expect the rest of the world to do, play along? He has the nuclear codes. So no.

is it so much to ask for one fucking iota of message discipline?! any sane press organization would’ve been focusing on the Scotus ruling 24/7. but this is the same “BUT HER EMAILS” bunch so sanity is not a given. after 2016 you’d think someone would realize that!

At this point, isn't voting for Biden essentially voting for Harris? Unless Harris has a different operation running her campaign, but putting that together four months before the election seems like a heavy lift.

He’s doing the ABC interview Friday, which is good, bc it’s exactly what he needs to do. If he’s fine, we tell these fucking losers to shut up. And if he’s not we confirm that and fake about Kamala. He needs to get out there and show what he’s got left.

You can see who's played sports before by their reactions. If a team has a bad start, it's easier to panic vs focusing. People are off work or preparing for BBQs, not doomscroling and getting worked up over CNN's push to elect trump. This week I've had to unfollow so many journalists I respected.
