It's never been subtle, but the political stuff this season is way more "ripped from the headlines" and it's too much. Like, we get it.

About 15 minutes after posting this I went to walk the dog and weren't even 50 feet away from the front door when we heard another boom and he panicked and tried to go back inside. I practically had to drag him for half a block before we could resume our walk (because he hadn't peed in 12 hours)

A CBJ player getting killed by one of those was the last straw for me, and why I'm against all amateur fireworks displays

I'm against capital punishment but the exception I'd make is for people setting off fireworks after midnight (and on days that aren't the actual holiday)

Does it? Beating Trump should be a layup for any replacement level Democrat

Meanwhile, how much does Jeremy Corbyn suck that the Tories weren't wiped out like this sooner?

It's a risk, I'll grant you that. But sticking with Biden presents a risk as well. His status is neutralizing that incumbent advantage

1. Because he was already having issues then 2. His handlers have tried to shelter him from appearances without a prompter 3/4. I assume those same people in his administration/campaign/DNC prefer being able to run things in his name

I think the cleanest option now is Biden resigns immediately and Harris runs as the incumbent. I've tried to do my part in GOP primaries against the fascists but unfortunately have been outnumbered

My point is these conversations should have been had a year ago but the powers that be shot them down then, and now are throwing their hands up and saying it's too late to do anything.

Couldn't any other Dem campaign on the stuff has gone well, but without the Biden baggage? And meanwhile more effectively hammer Trump for all his many faults?

Will he? The thing about cognitive decline is there's a point where people don't realize it's happening (well, two points: at the beginning and at the long end) "Don't worry about 86 year old Biden, we'll just use the 25th Amendment at some point" isn't a pitch that suggests stability

I'm never going to vote for Trump, but I feel way less comfortable voting for Biden than I did last time. (Not that it matters since my state will go red regardless)

Did you think there should have been a primary? Because the Dems seemed to do everything possible to prevent one. Age was the whole reason for the Dean Philips campaign and he was laughed out of the room Or Biden debating RFK in the fall could have exposed these weaknesses back then

He was old then but if you look at debate footage from then, it's night and day from now. Things are only going to get worse from here, and quickly. A good first term doesn't entitle you to a second. You have to sell us on the vision and agenda for it. He's not doing that effectively
