If someone understands the stakes such that they’re disappointed with Biden, and they’re not going to vote for him…

Right, that’s the point. There’s just been this collective decision to just repeat that Biden must drop out regardless of anything else that happens

The reason that the polls keep sliding is that all the media will say is that Biden should drop out. Initially it was a small movement.

Step one is that progressives stop overtly trying to destroy him?? What is wrong with you, you’re setting him on fire and saying “tell me how we extinguish him”

They’re going to say that it’s disqualifying for Biden’s party and the fact Biden dropped out proves there was a problem all along

This shows the talking point when Biden performs well. Doesn’t count because teleprompter. If he puts in a good performance in an interview, doesn’t count because live to tape. It will never count.

We've now reached 200 death row exonerations. Meanwhile, the state with the most (Florida) is pushing to limit appeals, carry out executions more quickly, allow death sentences from non-unanimous juries, and impose the death penalty for crimes other than homicide.

under the opinion in trump v. united states there was no need for john yoo to come up with an elaborate justification for torture. george w. bush could have ordered an interrogator to crush the testicles of a child, no questions asked.

Trump turned out a LOT of new/infrequent voters. He also turned out people to vote against him. Seems to me that many of the people who are compelled to vote against him will vote GOP in other races.

I keep coming back to "all this for literally Donald Trump," but it fits. There's not some more competent aspiring autocrat who'd somehow "earn" or "win" this. This is how it has always gone: feckless/evil elites attaching themselves to the sociopath they believe will get them where they want to go.
