Republicans for the past 40+ years: "We're gonna turn this country into a fascist playground for the rich" Democrats: "Haha you're silly!" Republicans now: "We wrote down how we're gonna turn this country into a fascist hellscape in a document" Democrats: "OH HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

I’m generally a very hard to please leftist, but what exactly is the plan if he did step aside? Biden sucks shit, but I can’t imagine any scenario that doesn’t implode the party on some level and basically guarantee a Trump victory. A late primary is suicidal.

100% agree, Biden shouldn’t be treating Trump with any respect at all. Unfortunately, some liberals could be standing neck deep in shit and still care about “decorum”.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

The entirety of the Americas was full of people before Europeans, whole and rich civilizations with cities and artwork and histories that settlers almost or in some cases completely succeeded in destroying. It’s too great a tragedy to put into words.

Outside of letting Kamala take the reins, I don’t see an option beside keeping Biden in. Running a cut rate primary right now would be a disaster. And I’m saying this as someone who reeeeaaaally doesn’t want to vote for Biden but probably will because *gestures at everything*.

If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

The Democratic Party won’t stand up and proactively protect people from fascism. Instead they’ll line up the constituencies they claim to represent and kick them into the flaming maw of Christian Nationalism one by one. And for good measure we’ll get blamed each time.
