Compare this to when Trump says something like “we’re gonna catch Goofy and execute him for his crimes folks” and people in the press go “Mr. Trump seemingly analogized criminals to a Disney character as he called for harsher legal penalties”

Biden should resign because you have to admit it would be really funny for future historians to have to explain what "coconut-pilled" means

I feel like the main difference between a Welsh politician named Lord Wigley and a British politician named Lord Wigley is that the Welsh guy has a funny name while the British one has hunted human beings on his estate

Harris's most commonly cited bad performance (2010) was 1) not top of the ticket and 2) in a year where almost every Democrat did atrociously nationwide, neither of which is true of Newsom's 2022 showing

I only like Kamala ironically and i'm still unironically offended on her behalf by the talk of throwing it to an open convention like...she has been Dems' #2 for four years now! she has way more small-d democratic legitimacy than someone chosen at the last minute by a contested convention lol

at least the Clinton team had the excuse that her loudest critics never gave her just one attack to rebut, it was always an unfocused torrent of abuse and innuendo. every critic of Biden from good faith to bad is focused on one thing—Joe Biden is 81 years old—and that's too much for them to handle

This isn't a real concern before the convention. Officially, the parties have not nominated their candidates yet. That's why Ohio forced the Democrats to move up the official nominating roll call. It's that roll call, not the primaries, that determines who has the Democratic line on the ballot.
