    almost like you could have used a primary to sort of these issues. instead of appointing and selecting. if you through a primary and don't make it, less chance for sour grapes. I don't doubt that a true concern of sidelining Harris is what that would do to the Black vote, which is very much a crucial point for Dems at this point.

    It's the democrats responsibility to connect with the voters that will swing the election and present them with an alternative to what Trump is.  And their effort to meet that responsibility is trotting out a dude that looks and acts like he wandered out of a dementia ward.  The dems don't have to be perfect, they just have to nominate a moderate, sharp person under 65 that can call bullshit on Trump in real time.  That's all they have to do.

    As it is, for the voters that will swing the election, they are looking at one side and seeing a felon, and at the other side and seeing an AZ patient, and their reaction is "What. The. Fuck."  If they stay home, democracy dies.  Because in an election where only passionate supporters vote, Trump wins.  It's a cult, remember?

    If that happens, the Dems can blame the Fox, Republicans, the American people, and everyone else, but they need to look in the fucking mirror and realize they had the responsibility to connect with voters, earn their vote and save democracy and they failed miserably at all three.

     

    all of this.

  3. missed the debate. read the first part of this thread, but have seen no less than 3 opinions/editorials from major newspapers calling for him to step aside. at this point, I'm in a 'we survived the 1st time and will likely survive again" and think the larger, intractable issue is the Court, but this has all the makings of a disaster many could see coming from a mile off and did nothing to prevent. for a country that rails against a monarchy, both parties seem to treat the process of leadership akin to that of having a king. I'm not sure why there was a steadfast belief that the party didn't have other options 

  4. the Israeli opposition leader has an interview with the NYTimes I saw today. If that guy is the opposition... then the situation is indeed bleak, no matter who is in power in Israel
