The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.

Where are the calls to the GOP to replace their mendacious, criminal, anti-democratic candidate? I am not saying I’m thrilled about the Biden situation, but my god!

It seems weird that they never wrote for trump to drop out. That is weird right? What are they implicitly saying by not doing that?

I blocked the NYT because I refuse to give them any clicks for that nonsense, and I hope others aren't paying them with clicks either.

This is the opening salvo of their argument for *Biden* to drop out. They’ve never suggested Trump should abandon his campaign.

Apropos, while I doubt Biden even cares what advice the NYT has for him, I will remind you that his opponent used to watch Fox News religiously while president and definitely took their advice on the regular. That being said, the last debate was definitely a “yikes” moment for Biden.

things Canada and USA have in common right now: - right running literal idiots (with receipts) but rather than attend to their own, they tell the current Pres/PM to resign, and spend their time talking about why he shouldn't run - media supports, narrates, drives the rights agenda

Truly deranged they're so committed to the "he's too old" line they all invented and amplified for months, that they can't even bear to mention the litany of outright lies Donald Trump spewed all over the stage. Or the fact Trump is disqualified from office for *trying to end the republic*.

"Biden must drop out" is the inexorable extension of the "only Democrats have agency" axiom. Republicans *simply cannot be expected* to nominate anyone other than a rapey seditionist felon named Trump, so it is up to Democrats to nominate some unnamed candidate from the Realm of Forms, for America.

If this represents the views of the NYT itself, wouldn't that mean they understand there's a genuine threat to the country, rather than just two differing perspectives to choose from? So then how can they justify their bothsiderism deluge, if they acknowledge one side's indeed good & the other bad?
