Even if you’re correct, what matters in an election are people’s perceptions. The massive swathes of voters who are convinced Biden is unfit for the job aren’t going to be convinced by anything other than a non-geriatric candidate.

One strong piece of evidence is that Republicans are willing to sue to keep him on the ballot

Im tying Heritage and Will together because they are both working to keep Biden on the ballot. They share that very real tie. I know you must suffer some cognitive dissonance finding yourself on the same side as Heritage but that’s not my problem

Things change in four years. Biden is now the least likely Dem to beat Trump. Republicans have won many elections and they want Biden on the ballot.

The Israeli occupation of the West Bank is expanding, in violation of international law and to the indifference of the administration.

I think you misread the article. Heritage (and Will) want Biden to be the nominee

So instead you’re joining an alliance of the people who blew the 2016 election and the Heritage Foundation? These are trustworthy and competent people?

My latest on the stupid battle in NC over public school calendars. All the reporting sadly ignores legislators’ law breaking on this subject

Rewatching the Uruguay goal (I have a sickness) and it pains me to say it, but Turner has to parry that wider. Really bad from him.

Reiterating my idea for Supreme Court reform: expand the court to until every citizen is a justice. We all get $275k per year and just vote to decide what is constitutional

Seat new justices to rehear the immunity case and say that if those judges declare the removal of justices as illegal that you’re willing to do jail time. That’s the price you’re willing to pay to save the country. (I’m under no delusion that this will happen, btw) 2/2

My dream Immune Brandon scenario: remove Kavanaugh, Roberts (both for perjury during confirmation), Gorsuch (never should’ve been seated), Alito, and Thomas (corruption). 1/2

We have too many naive fans that think having 15 players in top 5 leagues makes us special That said our depth is definitely at an all time high. But our top end talent remains young and unexceptional. Pulisic the only “star,” and he’s one season off riding the bench for a 12th place Chelsea.

Until the talent level is there, what can you do? And even when the talent level is there, it’s still hard to get national teams to play well (see: Brazil, Portugal, England, Belgium, France)

We need to see the Supreme Court’s disastrous rulings in the context of the Right’s larger project to uphold traditional hierarchies of race, wealth/class, gender, and religion - all part of the attempt to halt the drive towards egalitarian, multiracial, pluralistic democracy.

Biden's abortion debate was response was bad but i guess even "a doctor should be making those decisions" doesn't apply to trans care. Are we allowed to criticize biden now that all the centrist dipshits are trying to drive him out of office

Is Biden’s decision to run for re-election solely motivated by a desire to beat Trump? Or might he also be motivated by other reasons?
