Feels like Biden’s an old dishwasher that conked out and a bunch of people got REALLY excited to run out and get a new one… but then the old one started running again, just like before, and all the people who were mentally already on HomeDepot.com picking out the new Bosch just can’t let it go

Okay but this is really the first time we’ve ever seen a full court press media campaign to completely rake a democratic over the coals for comparatively minor and easily explained concerns and no, I have never heard the name “Hillary Clinton” before, who’s that????

Every page can be an ad. This is why I'm livid with the Trump v Biden bullshit. It's the platform! You're voting for the platform! Who wears the suit doesn't matter as much as what legislation they're fucking signing!

Everyone’s assumptions that he can’t win is fundamentally based on the *certainty* that he has a real neurological problem. If he has completely pretend problem then the only real problem is the belligerent, insane media smear campaign insinuating that he has a real problem

Why didn’t you respond to the content of the PBS article instead of whatabouting to ad hominem?

It’s small but checking out /r/EzraKlein over the past few days there’s a segment of people who seem legitimately *radicalized* that the incumbent who had a bad debate and saw a normal “bad debate” dip is somehow 100% doomed. Hope these people can just take a deep breath

Joe Biden is a phantasm to pundits who only appears for 5 seconds at a time if they can do some dime-store neurology and then POOF! He’s gone the second he actually starts talking about issues…

The one thing I think would be good would be a Town Hall- I think real voters could handle asking REAL questions that would allow Biden to both show his stamina and address real issues (something now seemingly beyond the worthless chattering pundits)

It’s become circular… everytime Biden shows up publicly answering questions and acting normal people either just shrug and pretend like it’s bullshit and he’ll spaz out *next time*, or they pretend some meaningless stutter was tantamount to a mouth foaming seizure

I feel like the GS interview was the perfect microcosm… everyone pre-reacted like it was meaningless, GS actually rode him pretty hard and asked the same 1 1/2 Qs over and over, and then nobody was convinced.

The funny thing is this makes it looks soooo much less impactful. Like you hear a trickle of this “Congressman” (House rep) is calling on Biden and this one and yadda yadda and it kinda sounds like something is happening and this just makes it look like a couple house dipshits, and nothing else lol

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

I also feel like.. I dunno, hes still about 50/50 right now and the media is going INSANE… how could they sustain this? Are they gonna be writing shit like “WaPo Editorial Board, DAY 67: Look you sunnuva bitch DROP OUT!! DROP OUUUUUT!!!!!😤🤬” ? At a certain point the fever will have to break

I could go either way: it might be most pragmatic to just get a clean break….on the other hand that’s sort of encouraging it and there’s no guarantee that the fundamentals for Kamala are actually better (even if the media enviro is)

No you’re right- just like how Warren getting DNA tested totally helped her and put to bed the NA heritage issue. I dunno what to tell you- if you think it’s a good idea for one participant in a race to asymmetrically submit to competency tests, you’re too dumb for politics

What an odd pivot from your made up Kamala point Again… the polling is very clear. Kamala polls about the same or maybe just behind Biden, is 30 years younger and has similar visibility. Just show me the polls where she’s 5+ points ahead and I’ll become a “Biden dropout” zealot from that second

And again… at the end of the day… none of this matters for the race. He’s down a couple cause he had a bad event… he’s about even with 538… Nothing has fundamentally happened here that changes the race. Doubly so if the media doesn’t lose their fucking minds 24/7 but even regardless

I’ll say I misremembered but I’m not sure it makes much difference: A clear majority of Democrats say he should stay in the race, which is what matters for deciding the Democratic nominee.

There was polling done that more people think Trump should drop out vs Biden, and a majority think Biden should stay in the race. People think a lot of things and at the end of the day, the only thing that matters are the fundamentals of the race.

This guy has done more international trips than any other president and was on two shortly before the debate. He’s the first president in history to visit a war zone not occupied by American forces. He’s saying he’s gonna do less dumbshit correspondence dinner-like events, ya goofball

I’ve had moments ive thought “jeez it’s completely unfair but this is becoming such a distraction maybe a clean break is necessary” but the truth is the media is going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into cover Dems in even a slightly normal fashion no matter what and they can eat shit

If we careen into autocracy part of the reason will be because much of the electorate doesn’t truly believe in democracy in the first place. Democracy literally means that the voters are responsible but many want to believe that politicians simply will themselves into office

One of the crucial presidential duties is doing a lot of events that take place after 8pm? Huh? Since when? Both W and Obama were known for keeping balanced schedules. This is not a remotely abnormal expectation or adjustment.
