i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values

Aside from his noxious this is, let’s address the piece of it designed to appeal to those on the left: that voting is pointless. It’s based on one big honking lie: namely that the only point of voting is to be able to make the decision all by yourself.

Lmao yes. I do not agree with any other part of the blithering idiocy in question and I’m very excited to watch every single one of these ppl go back to antagonizing Harris supporters in 28

The “Harris is underrated” was in the context of a bunch of blithering idiocy about Biden but like, I do agree that she’s wildly underrated ;p

Oh yeah absolutely. Like if God forbid something actually did happen to Biden and she were the one running id feel really good about voting for her, she pretty much has my primary vote for 28 locked down at this point barring something wildly unforeseen

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

The thing about the march to fascism is that aside from the terror and the consequences it’s also so goddamn embarrassing

I mean this unironically too. If someone wants to admit this entire thing is horseshit but the vibes are so bad it has changed the landscape? I don't buy it but I'm open to the argument. Pretending this is good faith? Fuck outta here.

The fact that this entire stupid freakout is clearly just the NYT having a gigantic tantrum makes the entire thing feel unreal. Borderline gaslighting stuff, just pretending the most obvious bad faith trolling is legitimate concern about the presidency.

I'd be way more sympathetic to the "Biden should step down" arguments if anyone making them could admit the source is just NYT vibes and anger he won't give them an exclusive interview.

Something I’ve been thinking about is if the obvious blackmail of “we’ll keep running stories about your health until you give in and give us an exclusive interview like we’ve been asking for” is something that the NYT has made explicit to Biden or if it’s just implicit.

Remember Howard Dean and how his campaign ended because the media hated him because he refused to play their little fuckfuck games?
