Don't be fooled by the bland headline, Jamelle absolutely bodies Bret Stephens in this conversation. A representative bit:

Proof once again that the right’s “intellectuals” are nothing but mediocre white men who have risen to prominence by dumb people who think that’s what smart people sound like.

Why does anyone think that Stephens is arguing in good faith here? That he actually cares about who the Democrats nominate? I am totally convinced that he would have no problem accepting another Trump term, his protests notwithstanding.

I am no expert but I feel like if the dem machine kicked Harris aside if Biden stepped down they’d lose at least half the Black base shes a cop and all that but shes VP and you don’t do her like that

The thing is Jamelle is a scholar and a journalist, whereas Bret writes fan fiction for middle aged white men

All of this fucking bedwetting because Biden wasn't sharp for 40 minutes of a fucking debate. Democrats need to grow some balls/ovaries

So clear that Bouie’s skills and patience in dealing with trolls and fools on this site and elsewhere is at least partly from practice in dealing with Stephens. Or maybe it’s vice versa. 🤔

Stephens is repeatedly unable to substantively respond to the specific points Jamelle is making and resorts to cliches like "there are no certainties in life, football or politics."

Just like when he had the “bedbug” tantrum, it must be very difficult for Bret to encounter someone who is younger, smarter and not submissively deferential to him

How is this man allowed to write about politics? Biden chose not to run because his son died and he didn't feel up to running. He waited until almost the last minute to announce he wasn't running. Nobody placed any pressure on him to not run.

Don’t overlook this absurd conclusion from the the NYT deputy opinion editor, as if in private conversations and meetings, White House staff, Cabinet members, and others spew nonstop lies, insult Biden and his family, and he knows he has only two minutes to respond _and_ answer a policy question.

Why Democratic leaders don't think Harris can win is the same reason my grandma couldn't vote for Obama. "There's just something about him. I don't know what it is..."

One single more cough, sneeze, or hiccup out of Biden and it's curtains. Trump landslide victory. And that is what the apologists don't get now. America will not stand for a frail and fragile president. It's not our DNA, for good or for bad. Act like democracy is at stake now. It is.

Maybe all of those possible replacement candidates should work there hearts out for both Biden and Harris so they'll be a leg up come 2028.

I like Michelle Goldberg, but Biden is "staring down near-certain defeat"? What the hell is she talking about? I think some of these otherwise smart pundits need to get out and talk to people not in their bubble.

Anyway the right take here (I forget whom to credit) is that the convention as a democratic institution is too moribund to be used the way these doofs envision. Maybe if the party had evolved differently, the convention's choice could unify the coalition. But you go to war with the party you have.

Bouie is correct (as usual). Anyone who imagines this working hasn’t considered that *campaigns are run by people* many of whom don’t really like each other very much. People work together regardless as one must, but disruptions in norms escalate latent tensions and changes take time to socialize
