Sen. Gogurt taking notes on a criminal conspiracy

@ugarles.bsky.social

if people were more comfortable admitting that they don't know what resonates they would talk in the third person much less. the reason the defense of Biden generally isn't about his merits is because the call for his removal also isn't about the merits.

People calling for Biden to step down aren't directly about him sundowning, since everyone agrees that Trump is also sundowning; they are about whether it is going to cost Biden the election. That becomes a meta question so you get meta commentary.

I defend Joe Biden on the merits literally every day. He's hands down the best president of my lifetime, getting decades-long lib/prog goals with a fifty-fifty Senate and zero in the House.

I’m just going to say I have no idea what the right call is, although getting rid of Biden seems like an awfully big admission that Trump has been right about at least one important issue for a long time. And with people’s attention spans these days, all scandals are fleeting.

fair! which is why i framed my post in the first person. my priors here are shaped by living in a place where politics are rarely Topic A. my sense is that a lot of relatively low-info voters do genuinely worry about biden’s fitness to govern (in addition to lots of valid worries about trump).
