Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

This is more important than Biden being old!

So many people are checked out. They honestly do not know a lot of the things Republicans are up to. Because the media won't report on it, because it's too busy weeping about Biden, who is just as old as Trump, and is clearly sharper than him as well.

Gosh I wish people weren't carrying Steve "fill the zone with shit" Bannon's water for him! Seems easy not to do and yet some people feel Very Clever while doing so! Couldn't be me!

Interesting. I think that there's a clear line of succession if any president is incapacitated, and I think he that harping on the fascism and documented pedophilia of the Republicans will swing wayyyy more votes.

Final thought: STOP LISTENING TO THE POLITICAL PRESS They do not have your best interests at heart, full stop. They want to make money off your fear. They're too ignorant to even have a survival instinct--do they think they won't be targeted in a Trump dictatorship?

Did the electorate abandon him in this crucial moment when the US could snuff out Hitler's Third Reich? No, they did not. If you're talking "replace Biden" now, I have a question: why are you so much weaker than voters in 1944? Would you have handed over the White House to the America Firsters?

I don't know why the focus is on Biden and not Mr Project 2025, the convicted felon who flew on Epstein's plane a bunch. Feels like all those things are a much bigger issue and we should all be talking about that as a means to win this. Feels like posting on Biden's age is buying into the narrative.

The claim that Project 2025 is "fearmongering" pairs nicely with the Project 2025 people saying they will kill anyone who gets in their way

Okay. I disagree about Biden but get what you are saying. He's fine, he's always been fine, and polls show nobody really cares. The freak out is silly in general and especially in comparison to the felon promising fascism.

Right. Formal writing has some rules, which you need to know in order to decide to break them. But oral language is fluid.

Oh that's interesting, and I totally get what you mean. It's also great in spaces where gender isn't assumed, and being from Olden Times I would often say "guys" or "ladies", so "y'all" works better.

As a semi-former journalist who went to journalism school and is friends with lots of journalists and defended US journalism for a very long time: US big-media political journalism absolutely HAS gone down a shameful, disgusting road, and saying that isn’t an illiberal act.

Gym is the only class where the teachers don't teach you anything. It's like if they only taught you math if you already knew your multiplication tables. It wasn't actual violence for me as much as leering creeps once we hit sixth grade.

He's a guy whose extreme weenie-ness was allowed to flourish until rotted his mind to soup. The human mind can't process being as much of a weenie as Stephen Miller is, and was not able to compensate.
