One of those days where I think it's kind of warm in my apt even with the AC on, then I realize it's 25 degrees warmer outside.

Ah, misread your post. I was thinking "Red Riding". Totally different things! Apologies.

It's kind of weird that no one else seemed to have checked if this was true. Looks like their last post was 20 hours ago though

It's striking to think that part of the rationale behind the necessity of Bush v Gore was that the transition needed to start weeks before the inauguration, while in the UK they literally just change the day after the election.

Someone else has noticed that Keir Starmer looks like he could be Anthony Stewart Head's relative, right?

It's hard for people to realize that the GOP and Trump are both equally bad, even though they look like they're opposed at times. Enabling one enables the other.

I was worried there wouldn't be some sort of vicious Democratic infighting this year, but the spirit of 2008 and 2016 lives on in good old 2024.

Do you think Biden did either of those things on Thursday night?

Joe Meek @maisondesnark.bsky.social [ View ] Jul 03, 2024 at 17:20 UTC

It's the job of the Democratic candidate to defend the Democratic position and attack the Republican position. Biden seemed unable to do either on Thursday.

Do you think Biden should show up for the next debate? Do you think he's doing a good job representing what the Democratic party stands for in interviews?

Joe Meek @maisondesnark.bsky.social [ View ] Jul 03, 2024 at 17:06 UTC

I think Biden is most likely able to do the job as president. I don't think he's able to run an effective campaign to be president at the same time.

I think that's fair, but I also think perhaps some new information about the Dem candidate has come to light.

I think it somehow tied into the usual center left vs far left fight here. Weirdly, a lot of Never Trump center right folks also think Biden should step down, but they're not here to fight it out

Part of the issue is that Biden hasn't done anything since the debate to give anyone space to write a "Energetic Biden calms fears" piece. Part of the issue is that he's 81 and looks and sounds 81, and the debate is whether he's old. He is!

The many twists and turns of reactions to that joke is pretty funny (in a dark humor kind of way.)

It's kind of amazing that we all experience and perceive reality as individuals and there may not actually be one 'true' reality. I know, not helpful, but I'm always struck by how different people experience different events.
