"Don't let the French have all the fun" is an excellent slogan and I submit it to the committee for wide promulgation in everyone's elections.

I agree with all that, totally. But I don't think he has it in him to come from behind and win independents. There's no safe or guaranteed path, but personally I think Harris slightly improves the chances of defeating the neo-fascists.

Today I listened to a bunch of rational Democrats tell me to stop overreacting and then I went back and rewatched clips of Biden in last night's debate and they're fucking crazy.

At this point in the debate, the best Biden can do is go for a knockout. I mean literally, like hit him with a chair or something.
