Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

It’s pretty interesting to read Biden’s TIME interview transcript from late May: it reads like someone who’s lost a step or two but is still sharp, engaged, and knowledgeable, albeit combative if not crotchety. (Also, seems he was already sick before his back-to-back D-Day/G7 travel schedule.)

Will you commit to a goalpost and take on some consequence if it's met and you're wrong? Like, something that would be as life-altering for you personally as what you're calling for would be for Biden? Or will you just keep moving the goalposts? (answer: you'll just keep moving the goalposts)

This level of societal anxiety was every day of Trump's presidency for four straight years, and it says nothing good about our most prominent journalists that they are jonesing for it like heroin junkies going through withdrawal.

Stop proposing wonky solutions to replacing Biden. If it's anything, it's Biden dropping out and endorsing Harris, and hoping the delegates follow suit. There is polling evidence that this should happen. There is no evidence for your thing you made up in your head and somehow got published.

Basically the premise is that the people who answer polls are not typical of their demographics, and that they’re more conservative. I can believe it but I can’t say I have a strong case

Sure, I’ve seen the screenshot of that poll and a lot of discussion about how ridiculous it is

“He’s just stayed too long in the job,” David Remnick muses between bites of Waverly Inn frittata, “and there’s a whole civilization at stake.” Anna Wintour nods thoughtfully without looking away from the fireplace. “It’s about to rain,” she says.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

I think the best argument against Biden stepping down remains all the very bad arguments for him stepping down. There aren't any good arguments for it yet!

Those polls don’t reflect reality and should be ignored.

The NYT is not going to be nice just because AG Sulzberger’s ego was fed. We will have 1,001 stories between now and Election Day about how weak democrats are for running a candidate who didn’t win a Democratic primary, framed by “Trump is so powerful he caused a sitting D President to resign.”

Just unfollowed someone so fast on the other site after they shared a post talmbout people being selfish for 'fearmongering' about Project 2025 in order to get people to vote Republicans' stated intentions are scary, but providing accurate info about them is not fearmongering! It's just the stakes!

2nd best thing is probably hammer how bad scotus is. Any policy question, turn it into "well we've gotta get better judges in there who know what the hell they're doing. They're saying trump has the power to storm the capitol but I don't have the power to forgive student loans for god's sake"

If only our news media institutions found "ex-president promises to jail and try opponents for treason if he takes back power" as newsworthy as "unnamed aide said current president gets tired after having a full day of work."

3rd party vanity presidential candidates have no chance of winning. The parties will continue to fail until they grow from the ground up. For example, the Green Party has no one in any federal or statewide office. GP officeholders: www.gpelections.org/greens-in-of...
