Legacy journalism has so many great ideas: ‐ Maybe let's hear some of Project 2025 out? - Here's a rich celebrity with some harebrained fanfic about how elections should work - Does the president have Secret Parkinson's!? (We ripped this off from John Rightwingratfuck shh don't tell them)

there’s no real new info, no one knows anything, biden’s position is unchanged, now it’s just an *incredibly* boring doom and recrimination and fantasy loop.

i am sincerely thinking about the right combination of terms i need to use to avoid biden old and replace biden discourse, we have been on this for too many days and the whole thing is legitimately irritating and i don’t want to talk about it anymore at all, with anyone, even everyone i like.

Let me spoil this one for you: every single source is confidential. Every single one. We don't know how close they actually are to anything, and not one "Democratic leader" is even named in this article. Not. One. This is just messed up. This is Inquirer level reporting.

I will take calls to dump Biden and snub Harris with a completely new candidate seriously when anyone makes it clear there is an ironclad way to make sure this does not completely fuck us over with breaking election finance laws or opening us up to *getting denied ballot access in states*

WBD's stock price has tanked ~78% since David Zaslav was announced as CEO— $32.68 on 05/19/21 to $7.32, today— to say nothing of the brand loyalty, goodwill, & creative talent he's destroyed. It is amazing & genuinely horrifying that anyone could fail this badly, & remain in a position of authority

Trump finally makes a public appearance after the debate and incoherently meanders through violent fascist rhetoric and bizarre gripes about airports, so of course we will Continue to litigate if Biden is the real threat to democracy or something

“I think campaigning for president is harder than being president and his brain doesn’t work so he can’t do the first but he can totally do the second” is not a position to take seriously but it’s what a lot of people have tied themselves to.

George Clooney from the comfort of his French home just wrote some elaborate (and entirely unfounded) fanfiction about a magical Primary 2 battle royale we can apparently organize in mere weeks so it's time for literally every legacy media outlet to relitigate this for the 72nd time in 12 days

Better yet, baffled pundits who suddenly wonder "where all these claims Biden wasn't capable even came from" and speculating wildly that perhaps this was all Harris' cunning plan to get power "despite being rejected by voters in the past primary"

the entire replacement argument hinges on every would-be contender who is admired for their leadership and commitment to democracy being willing to override the primary results, double back on every single public statement they have made, and shiv their competitors on a moment’s notice

No, because I've thoroughly settled on "This 'panic' over Biden is point-in-fact actual decadence among the elite class." They're bored so they want to make politics an exciting new game, and if that means that millions of little people suffer and die, well who cares about them?

there is a lot of “democrats are the only agents of american politics” underlying fantasies of contested conventions. meaning, no real consideration for how republicans will respond politically or legally for that matter.

And if he gives a speech about the terrifyingly dystopian objectives of the Project 2025 outline of course the reasonable way to cover it would be to either mostly call attention to any brief flubs or, if it is a literally perfect speech, to remind us all that a few weeks ago he had a bad debate.

Wow by the "what are people talking about/what's getting clicks" standard I'm told was responsible for wall-to-wall "is Biden old" coverage, I assume tomorrow's NYT front page will be filled with Trump's Project 2025 analysis and calls for him the drop out because of it?

these, along with the mythical votes-trump-but-ds-downballot voter, are people that polls are telling us exist in great numbers. but they're batshit to anyone who experiences reality. nobody knows people like this. nobody has seen surges of trump support in young women they know. it's all pretend.
