  1. It's not uncommon for people to vote on a ballot measure one way and then vote for a candidate that wholly opposes their vote on the ballot measure. Dems need to make it clear that votes to protect abortion at the state level won't be enough to protect it if Trump is elected.
  2. Who wants to bet CP fired everyone in charge of figuring out what repairs to prioritize and instructing crews where to go and replaced them with ChatGPT?
  3. If they can’t replace Biden, they’ll want a VP that they think people will really like and they don’t think that’s her. See the 1944 convention when they pushed aside a VP who the party considered a political liability. They don’t have that same power anymore so they’ll probably fail, but given their incredibly stupid spasms right now they’re definitely stupid enough to try.
  4. I’m calling this now: if they can’t force Biden out of the race, they’re going to shift to try to push Harris off the ticket.
  5. I don't disagree, because American mainstream media has fixated on whether or not Biden will withdraw from the race (to the point they're entirely ignoring actual news that Trump is a goddamned pedophile). It sure seems to be self-perpetuating at this point.
  6. I've said that I'd be fine with Harris at the top of the ticket. It's the people openly masturbating about some new blitz primary who are dismissing her for racist and misogynistic reasons.
  7. The thing is that I've thought since it was clear he was going to be their nominee again that Trump would have a very good chance of winning. What I've been arguing since the debate isn't that Trump can't win (because I've always thought he had a good chance), but simply that Biden's debate performance didn't actually substantially change the game. It's just that you and many others didn't want to think Trump had a chance so you convinced yourselves that he didn't and Biden's debate performance was a real wake up kick in the balls.
  8. Except we have evidence that they didn't:
  9. "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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. Negged for trying to make me read Megan McArdle.
  14. Polling is just completely fucking broken.
  15. It's not exactly business friendly for all the local businesses that have been closed all week because they don't have power.
  16. 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.
  17. Some real classic Dem shit from the dumbest members of the party.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Biden and Harris can spend that money. Other candidates would have to start from scratch.
  21. 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.
