It’s an insane discourse to be having in July. Full stop.

Isn't there something like "the president doesn't really have all that much power without Congress"? Say wahtever about Biden, he's been old forever. But his last administration passed a LOT of great policy, namely all the subsets of the IRA.

That's where I woke up too. I tap out on the debate and age discussion. It's entirely not the fucking point and it's a negative if we have to spend 4 months talking about it, which America insists we must.

Naive of us to think that our media betters won't quickly discover Kamala's own emails but when you're being waterboarded you do what you must to make it stop even if that just means next having your fingernails removed.

The media was always going to hammer Biden because all they care about is their horse race, but the Dem establishment immediately running for the hills instead of forcefully defending Biden's record is a case study in profound cowardice. Not an encouraging look.

If there is a swap, there is no other choice. Period. Any other name is a fantasy.

Sort of in the same boat, but also Levitz's piece wasn't very good.

The only issue in my mind is that the focus, especially in the Times and outlets like it, won't change from "Biden is old" to "Trump is unfit." It will change from "Biden is old" to "Here are all the problematic things about Harris." (And I think she's the only logical choice!)

My petty self would be so mad if the swap happens and NYT does a big “I told you so” to the readers and anyone that voted Biden in the primary, but this is exhausting cause they’re broken records

I'm so disgusted by and sick of the press coverage of this election that I want this to backfire and give Biden the win for refusing to cape to this bullshit. It's not even that I think he should stay in the race, I just want every last one of these asshole to eat it.

It would be an incredibly risky thing to do with no guaranteed upside but pundits need to justify their existence somehow and apparently writing articles about how Trump is going to make himself dictator has been ruled out by their editors

I feel like your point (and others') that the media will use Biden's age & mental faculties as the new Hillary's emails, means we could be doomed if he doesn't step down ASAP

if they can't keep their seat dry on the guy we've been around for years running a great economy, what makes us think these same weak-bladder types are going to be able to withstand Trump finally zeroing in on this candidate reap what you sow inconstant Dems

I totally was until someone just pointed out what a clusterfuck it would be to actually replace Biden on state ballots which are all but set.

I don’t think the age discourse matters. Swap in Kamala and I don’t think the polling changes, and she gets her own “but her emails” on whatever the right decides. Does she have more energy to fight back? That’s really her big potential selling point compared to the 10 to 4 Biden.

Right, or adopt “Harris 2024: No time for golf” and you might get my acquiescence.
