This is really the main purpose of social media We've solved the first impeachment, the second impeachment, multiple primaries, COVID vaccine uptake, and the entirety of economics and all you had to do was the poster's instincts at the time

The look of contempt on Biden's face when Stephanopoulos asked him if he'd watched the video was one of someone's brain shutting down, but because he clearly thought it was a very stupid question

I'm not watching the Stephanopoulos interview closely, but someone here has it on and he keeps asking what Biden thinks of articles that have been published in the last week. If I wanted to watch the press jack off, I know how to find porn online, thank you

Listen, if the Biden campaign wanted to quell concerns about his age, they would have put him out there, like in the post-debate pressroom, a rally, an event at the Stonewall monument, a national address, a medal of honor ceremony, a meeting with governors, another rally, and televised interview.

The fact that the whole thing is transparently from a press playbook we've recently seen used against college presidents doesn't make your contributions bad faith, but maybe look at the company you're keeping before you expect a good ethos judgement

There is room here for good faith disagreement, but if you think I'm lying about having followed what Biden said during the debate just fine, ignoring that his other public appearances, and taking a different stance from Fetterman's stroke, that's bad faith, sorry!

Just so we're clear, the following things are textbook bad faith: -insisting your interlocutor is lying because they have a different conclusion -selectively picking evidence -making arguments fundamentally at odds with positions you've previously taken Lot of that from the "Biden step down" camp

We spend the long debate weekends pushing water, sleep, and fruit on our kids. Even as narrow debate prep, this comes recommended, and I suspect Biden does some things during the day with higher stakes than high school forensics

The teleprompter attack on Biden is wild because Trump ran this playbook against Clinton in 2016, often from a teleprompter. It's amazing how many people who live and breathe this stuff have just totally forgotten...everything? Perhaps they need a cognitive screening?
