Another related conflation I’ve seen: “people want to replace Biden because of voters’ opinions” with “people want to replace Biden because of their own opinions”.

I think this claim is worth some skepticism. Governors hoping for a spot on the ticket have good reason to spread these stories. That said, if governors’ offices speaking on background are out-spinning the White House, that might be even worse than the story.

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values

“I talked to the president, and he’s in great health and ready to beat Trump like a drum,” is how I’d expect a confident surrogate to respond to this.

That has also surprised me. I wonder if it would hold up once she was put forward as a nominee. I wish we had better data, but I guess we’re not the ones making this decision anyway.

Yes. I agree that it is evidence in her favor. It’s also evidence that, even in the middle of a disaster, people are working to avoid the worst case scenario. It’s good that there is still at least some party discipline.

I’d imagine Biden’s people and party leadership would also be shutting down other options. She probably has allies in this.

“When they don't take a side, that's a choice.” That, for me, is the whole lesson. They can call on Biden to resign, sure. But then they’re admitting that the whole neutrality thing was bullshit all along.

Things are pretty fucked up and the future is uncertain — probably the worst in my lifetime (perhaps excepting 1969 before I can remember). When it’s like that, I like to think about my grandparents and what they faced and got through with the Great Depression and WWII. /1

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.
