he asked people around joe to make sure joe didn’t “embarrass himself” in the 2020 primaries, and then joe won the white house. like my man your brain isn’t good electorally when you ain’t on the ballot

i’m generally more sympathetic to obama than most lefties but i honestly don’t care what he thinks. there’s nothing insightful to it. if he’d told joe to run in 16 and told hillary to fuck off, trump would be pitching Season Whatever of “the apprentice”

i think the freakout from regular people - not the punditocracy largely, which was clearly read to pounce - is about how the voters who’ll decide the election perceive him, not about how *we* do it’s essentially a keynesian beauty pageant from hell

kind of side note to this. supposing for the sake of argument that the best bet is harris. an obvious question that will be raised: if joe can’t finish the campaign then why is he still president?

You can have concerns about Biden's age, but still be absolutely appalled about editorial choices that convey the issue as more important than the Supreme Court offering a pre-emptive thumbs up to a criminal presidency

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.
