There are now 150 voting and election cases pending in 39 states. 62 of them are from Republicans trying to restrict your right to vote. Whatever else is going on, please don't ignore the GOP's escalating attacks on free and fair elections.

Also not everything is "dementia." A bad speaker getting worse and only being able to work like 6 hours a day isn't necessarily dementia. It's being old as hell and losing a step, which is maybe reason enough to dump him, but it's not necessarily dementia. Dementia is fucking brutal and specific.

I'm really annoyed with the "There wasn't a real primary this year" argument because if people think Biden's as bad as everyone seems to think he is, someone would have primaried him. Every politician is a careerist asshole, and the people who would have run actually interact with him.
