the fact that the same people pushing Biden to drop out immediately are also proposing shit that wouldn't fly on The West Wing makes me think we need a complete and total shutdown of the nation's op-ed pages until we can figure out what's going on

I can't remember the last OP ED that did anything but frustrate or anger me. They mean OP- opportunity for lots of clicks and engagement because this person's opinion is sketch ED - Not sure, because so many of them aren't editors, and if not an editor, can you editorialize?

I'm still unclear on how they think anyone else will get on the ballot in the states that have already had primaries and have state supreme courts controlled by the GOP.

A high-level grasp of American government and American history is clearly not a requirement to write an op-ed.

Do all the editors who hired/enabled the op-ed writers, too.

"Politics would be interesting again" seems to be the entire ballgame - opinion writers were bored with a primary contest that featured two incumbents 🤷♂️

'Politics would be interesting again' = MSM needs eyeballs. Sorry, MSM, that's not my problem. Democracy vanishing under a (lift-enhanced) heel is my main problem. And you're not helping.

Biden shouldn’t have been allowed to run again. Shame on his staff and allies for covering up what we all saw on Thursday. You can’t pull a Reagan in 2024.

“Politics would be interesting again” There, they gave the game away. They don’t give a shit about anyone or anything, they just want this to be entertaining.

What baffles me are the *big time Democratic donors* who seem to think there's any real option other than Harris replacing him. People who have been giving millions of dollars to the political process without ever fully understanding how it works.

It's simple! We run a bachelor-esque show where Biden chooses his replacement via silly challenges and intimate dates. It'll totally work!

All they're doing it making him dropping out less likely. Worst elite pressure campaign ever.

I think it’s easy to figure out “what’s going on”, the media saw low hanging fruit of “Biden is old and debated horribly” and is clinging to it for easy clicks/high reader numbers. They also are mad he won’t talk to them so kind of want Trump to win, even at the expense of, well, everything.
