Ya I don’t appreciate how much they continue to let media off the hook bc I think it sets a bad precedent for whatever could come next, but in terms of the actual views/recs it’s impressive esp given their historical baseline role they see themselves as playing (no shade) as party boosters

I think you can (as best you can square the circle saying “last time I ran for president I also did not have a full time job—as president. My focus needs to be on the job, and I realized I can’t do that now and run a full time campaign. I have to choose one, and I choose continuing to be president

Ya totally fair—I think to me genuine question “is age sticking point” or is it “whatever press hypes atm is sticking point” (Econ/crime/immigrarion) at which point question is “does Harris quell media narrative or give excuse to go buck wild” but maybe I’m too cynical and media vibes-pilled!

Ya not anti Harris, and it’s trending that way, but still skeptical of “let’s compare bidens numbers at his nadir to Harris’ before same people tearing Biden apart inevitably turn against her” (+increased Fox et al scrutiny). Gonna be awesome when Douthat tells us how he hates Kamal/dems fucked up!

Yea real problem we face—even as they try and drive Biden out of the race—same folks will stick to ‘uwu we’re just smol beans who can’t influence the election’. Accordingly, getting no real dialogue from those folks around how any +/- to dropout will be heavily mediated by media (ie their) reaction

Pundits: we’re just smol beans who can’t influence the election you have to beat Trump at the ballot box Also pundits: Joe Biden must resign in disgrace or watch as we burn your democracy to the ground Surely if we just do what they ask they’ll rally around whomever dems pick as replacement

*slightly* disagree here: I don’t think calculus is even to win voters. Same as immigration, it’s to get nyt et al to shut up about it & move to friendlier topics. But conclusion is similar—they don’t get media is in the tank for gop, and nothing, including Biden stepping aside, will appease them

often hear media folk talk about trump’s leaving Twitter as keeping him from Americans but Twitter was always tiny! no way it was direct conduit—reporter coverage was. Sure reporters don’t cover truth social but that’s bc it’s their preference—they wised up to direct coverage being bad for Trump

might even say “I recognize last night wasn’t my best, but you’re wrong to think it’s my age and over the next 3 weeks I’ll prove it.” Maybe even say “and if I’m wrong, then I’ll have a serious chat with my campaign.” Set expectation you’re serious. Some press will be bad faith but they are anyway

Eloquent distillation of ‘this is a choice not a referendum.’ While I do think Biden camp should get him out publicly asap to quash narrative, extent to which media over and over frames this as referendum—only Bidens actions matter, and only in most nebulous ways—is dereliction of duty

If a certain paper were actually committed to “challenging the views of its readers” maybe w would have seen a bit more of that instead of a uniform freak out pushing a single narrative in line w what most folks believe out of last night

The comparison—that after trumps civil and criminal convictions almost no pundit/paper could spend time demanding he drop out, is galling. I get theory that ‘Biden might listen Trump won’t’ but ignores that these folks are creating a discourse/vibes in which only Bidens weaknesses can be considered

Agreed/to me similar to folks whining someone getting fired for pulling their dick out is “capital punishment for their career.” first off never is but whole possibility those folks eg get a new job (or new social circle) is bc uh they’re not dead. There is no analogizing to the permanence of death

I definitely didn’t have language to understand until mid 20s. I grew up w folks assuming I was gay (even post divorce at 28 ppl asked me if that was why). I had what I think was a bit of standard pipeline in my 20s/30s of “oh nb folks are so cool/I wish I was NB/oh wait I see hmm”
