Lol Trump’s biggest vulnerability of the entire campaign is literally peaking and Democrats are wasting the moment fighting their own president. Sincerely, what are you guys doing

I’m not sure what the surefire way to win the election is but I am fairly certain a sure way to lose is to spend the next 4 months with Democrats talking about how much their candidate sucks and how we’re doomed

Can we finally agree that “deplorable” was far too gentle a description?

most successful progressive president of my lifetime being eaten alive by terrified centrist lemmings in the party because he dared defy the New York Times will be something I will never forgive or forget tbh

But we’re *not* doomed if he’s the nominee, Dems rally around him (as they should have done from jump), shut down all this nonsense, and force the focus back on the damage the GOP is openly planning & what Dems plan to do about it.

One thing I love is how every single person on Twitter thinks Harris could improve her polls by “actually campaigning” without realizing that Biden is in fact actually campaigning. The problem is you’re in a media bubble that ignores him in favor of a narrative, and it’ll probably ignore her too

I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

The Biden-Replacers love to complain that they are shown no respect, but they merely are receiving the respect they have shown to the party's base. They love to complain they're not being taken seriously, but they've put forward only deeply unserious ideas.

Lotta media dudes who used to be the smartest kid in class seem more emotionally invested in being able to say I-told-ya-so if Biden loses than relentlessly conveying the stakes of the election, let alone obsessing over Trump’s uniquely compelling electoral baggage.

I think the @nytimes.com is just too old to be covering politics now. Its ability to handle the rigor and complexity of modern campaigns is obviously not there anymore. Put it out to pasture so younger newspapers can do the job.

A good reminder. I don't know if Biden's mental state is a serious cause for concern or not, but we're seeing *exactly* the same playbook that was used on Clinton, down to the "allies are concerned" articles. And Clinton is *still* doing fine.

And the notion that the media & the GOP aren’t just going to *immediately* pivot to ratfucking this magical being in exactly the same way they’re doing to Biden (& have already referenced doing to Harris) is the naive reasoning of a child. Nobody proposing this is thinking it thru realistically.
