Kathy Hochul bravely defending the rights of New Jersey drivers to kill New Yorkers under their irresponsibly huge trucks for FREE because why come to the city and drink and then take the PATH home when you could just murder people

Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

You know that horrible moment after you wake up when all the facts – the fact that Biden is losing to Trump, that Biden isn't running the kind of active campaign necessary to come back from that deficit, the fact that Trump has announced he'll be a dictator - come flooding back? I hate that.

none of this matters. he wants a republican to win and a democrat to lose. he wrote the immunity opinion because trump is currently the republican nominee and he wants him to be the next president. you don't have to overthink this. roberts certainly didn't.

ngl sure is a weird history reversal that the UK chose July 4 of all days to throw off the yolk of their entitled and incompetent government, and over in the US the NYT and supreme court have spent the past week deciding that presidents are kings and voting is bad actually

“Oh Trump is a conman, he’s pulling the wool over peoples eyes” Yeah to some degree, but the main core reason he was President and might well be President again is a lot of people fucking love being racist

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Losing to Trump should not be politically possible after the events of 2020, and Dem leadership has made it extremely freaking possible. They suck at everything. Let’s name that.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

Absolutely, and let me tout my less-radical-than-it-seems suggestion of what to do about SCOTUS: sortition. Only the role of the chief justice is constitutionally enshrined. Write a Judiciary Act prescribing that the other seats get filled by a yearly random draw from the courts of appeals.

What due process? The state wasn't trying to take his property or freedom. He had a job that required public trust, and he lost it. I voted for Franken, & Smith for Lt.G. I was happy Franken resigned & Smith was appointed, & happy to vote for her for Senate in her own right, as were most MN voters.

The "Biden Too Old" drama is actually extremely relevant to the Supreme Court / Trump dictator conversations. The Democrats keep annointing flawed, white centrist candidates with 1970s politics who everyone is already kinda sick of. That's how we got stuck with Trump in 2016. Build a bench, ffs!

Fine, media bias is bad. But, when ~3/4 *of your own party* thinks you're too old for another term, compared to 1/3 on the other side, that's a really big problem. A problem that the party, until now, was happy to blow off as "it's only February"

73% of Ds think Biden is too old vs ~30ish% of Rs that think Trump is too old. That's one reason for the headline. Plus, imagine what all those disenchanted Indys would think if they had a Not Old to vote for

In which 73% of *Democrats* said he was too old to serve, back in February. There have been fun little data points like these popping up since the midterms at least.

Like, I want to be really clear here: I want Biden to do much better, because I want him to win. But I also think everyone saying this is entirely a function of the media being mean and not due to campaign errors are just wrong. The concerns here are real, and they need to fix that.

And with that big advantage, he's still losing. He's been losing pretty consistently for a year. A June debate was *his campaign's idea* to turn things around. And it's not just journos, it's the D party, because he's fucking up the damage control almost as badly as he fucked up the debate.
