    "Biden is old as shit" was already baked in with undecided voters so them seeing that maybe a little more clearly than before just doesn't really change much, especially given his opponent. At this point I do think Biden's chances of winning have been seriously harmed, but more by the panic within the party than by his actual performance.

    No it's not. This isn't 1920. Party politics doesn't work like this anymore. The decision-maker in the decisions of whether and when to debate was Joe Biden.

    I’ve been checking that fucking map every 30 minutes or so since they posted it and I haven’t seen anything within 5 miles of my house change on it.

    Guys, if you think Trump is going to win 18-35 year olds, have I got a great deal on some oceanside property in Arizona for y'all!

    Negged for trying to make me read Megan McArdle.

    Polling is just completely fucking broken.

    It's not exactly business friendly for all the local businesses that have been closed all week because they don't have power.

    It's amazing how many different people think saying shit will make it true. If Biden is replaced, the replacement candidate would get barraged with "is he/she ready?" type shit from day 1, along with all sorts of "how can the Dems make this election about democracy when they haven't even voted for their candidate?!"" Yes, even if the replacement is Harris. She'd get a bunch of birtherism bullshit on top of that, too.

    Some real classic Dem shit from the dumbest members of the party.

    I’ve heard three transformers blow in Westbury over the past ten minutes. Somehow still have power, but assume that won’t last much longer.
  11. wildcat09
    Same here.

    The new VP has to be confirmed by both houses of Congress. The GOP house simply won’t confirm a replacement and the threats to Harris’s life will increase exponentially.
  13. wildcat09
    That’s illegal.

    He’s very stupid.

    Biden and Harris can spend that money. Other candidates would have to start from scratch.

    Two days ago you probably thought there was no way they'd essentially rule that all of the facts of the Georgia case were official acts. You lack imagination.

    It's always funny to see how many people fundamentally misunderstand how political parties work.

    Nate Silver is just a Republican pundit at this point.

    The 3 dissenting justices need to be campaigning on this. Maybe not going on the trail or making endorsements. But they can definitely speak out on the dangers of an unlimited government. They can definitely discuss their dissent in this case. If Sotomayor genuinely does see this as an attack on democracy, and democracy is worth fighting for, then increasing their visibility is a way for them to get in the fight. One thing I'm fucking furious about right now is why in the fuck did the dissenters here change their dissent to a concurrence on the Colorado ballot case if this is what we were going to get in this one?

    We're not fucked. We just have to win in November, then expand the court by...a lot, and probably have Biden (or Harris) drone strike every conservative justice and then resign and get charged with a bunch of crimes in connection therewith because obviously SCOTUS will need new cases in which to overrule this bullshit. Things are fine, is what I'm trying to get across here.
  21. wildcat09
    Twice, man, are you ok? Bark twice if you're being held hostage. You are entirely too fucking not stupid to not understand that I'm obviously speaking to what could happen if he wins again.
  22. wildcat09
    He will fire or have murdered anyone who opposes him until he finds people who don't. That's how every fucking dictatorship in the history of the world works.
  23. wildcat09
    It should go without saying, but their "he can illegally order/conspire with DOJ officials..." obviously extends to "he can illegally order the Navy Seals to murder his political opponents." If they can't look at corrupt motive, they're both clearly core executive functions and thus absolutely immune.

    Haven't y'all noticed that Trump wasn't really gloating about the debate? Have y'all seen what undecided voters have said about it? Minorities have mostly been angry about whatever Trump meant by "black jobs" and most other undecideds already thought Biden was too old, so him being old didn't really change anything. This freakout is almost entirely among the center-left who finally realized we're in for a real fight, which was always the case and a better debate from Biden wouldn't have changed that.

    From Popehat on Bluesky: This is the most succinct analysis of the problems with today's ruling that I've seen so far. There's essentially no abuse of power (you know, those things we should be most worried about) that wouldn't be an "official act" as this SCOTUS has decided to (sort of) define it.
