Good day to be someone who recently argued that the contested convention commentary is often driven by self-importance.

that people like Bill Maher might get an outsized role in selection is honestly one of the better arguments against it, tbqh

Maher is an anti-union POS. Unions have done great under Biden. Sulzberger loves Maher and hates Biden.

Biden beat Trump in 2020, NYT won't demand that Trump drop out. NYT should change its name to "We Hate Biden Times" (which helps Trump, hurts liberals and helps conservatives). Republicans with a straight face will say this lie: "Liberal media bias."

I still remember when Bill Maher defended Ross Perot's VP pick, James Stockdale, after an abysmal debate performance raised questions of senility. His reasoning was something to the effect of, he deserved the position for past performance and shouldn't be judged on one debate.
