They would dig up the VP's former relationship with Willie Brown and plaster it all over every front page in the country. This is a blatant attempt to force Biden out, both as candidate & and President...and if he quits, guess who's in line after Harris?

"The media is driving the news about forcing Biden to quit so Trump will win, to the point of outright lying." Fixed.

And isn't it interesting that after four straight cycles with either a woman, a PoC, or both on the ticket, suddenly all these Very Serious (White) Pundits are going nuts for a mediocre white guy and/or a white woman who nearly got kidnapped?

And Biden came right out today and had a barnburner of a rally in North Carolina. NYT wants Trump back. I have no idea why, but it's been obvious for years.

*spit-take* The GOP has been weaponizing opposition to the LGBT+ community for the last four years. Buttigieg is not a viable candidate, which is why he's a Cabinet secretary.

Whatever he managed to do (which was minimal) is outweighed by him sandbagging Hillary Clinton in 2016 so we had four hideous years of Donald Trump.

History makes it very clear that, if anything, better wages, incomes, and jobs for non-dominant classes by itself only enrages the dominant class. Just look at how years of gains for women, non-whites, and the LGBT+ community, coupled with a successful black President, led to the current backlash.

Or "estrogen" as "eestrogen" in an early episode of Torchwood. He can and does switch accents all the time, often in the same sentence - must drive his husband crazy.

I gave up on Chomsky in the 1980's when I subscribed to Z. That you weren't even born then doesn't change his denial of the Killing Fields, his denial of Bosnian genocide, or his defense of Robert Faurisson.

Noam Chomsky was right about Vietnam, then spent the rest of his life denying any genocide connected even marginally to the left. His linguistic work was outmoded years ago, his prose was impenetrable, and his record is decidedly mixed. Anyone who defends him in spite of this should be ashamed.

The Khmer Rouge murdered a quarter of Cambodia's population, many for things like wearing glasses. Being disgusted by their actions is not "left-punching," nor is calling out Noam goddamn Chomsky for denying Pol Pot's atrocities.

Anyone who's been paying attention to the Religious Right and its takeover of the GOP since the Reagan years. It's not surprising to me at all that the white evangelical right is making this last-ditch grab for power before demographics catch up with them.

Anyone who still blames Obama for this is either an ideologue or terminally ignorant. Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, and a couple of others made it clear from the beginning that either of these options are not happening. Obama knew that, too, because he's not stupid.

Ending the slave trade did nothing to end slavery itself. That took an actual war. As for Jefferson, his "lover" Sally Hemings was literally a *child* when he first impregnated her. Hard to excuse that.

Ike was such a slam dunk for 1952 that both parties courted him - Ken Burns even claimed in his film on the Roosevelts that the Democrats desperately tried to draft *Eleanor.* It was all thanks to the returning GIs who'd fought under him and loved him.

Black people tended to vote Republican because prior to Nixon's Southern Strategy in 1968, the GOP was still seen as the party of Lincoln and liberation. Once the Dixiecrats took over, black voters overwhelmingly turned to the Democrats and have stayed there.
