The whole "we must respect norms and decorum" crowd is going to be the death of us all. They are also completely exhausting at this point because no amount of evidence can shake them.
@clapclapclap are you too much of a child to respond to this?? We've always had the impression you were a big, strong, John Wayne man.
Alternately, maybe you're just a little, bitchy child.
Agree with everything, but particularly this. When I said "mess" I meant from an electability perspective (which is the most urgent concern) rather than a capability perspective. Biden is pretty much who we thought he was (minus losing some speed on his fastball) and the world he inherited is doing him no favors.
Whether it's Trump or DeSantis in 2024, the D's have a lot of soul-searching to do, and as we all know, strategic thinking isn't their strong suit (or rather, being able to convey that thinking to the public) and I don't know what they will end up doing.
The fact that people are blaming Biden alone for inflation and energy prices shows how completely fucker we are.
I completely agree with this, but the D bench is a complete mess right now. Taking the hypothetical of "Biden doesn't run in '24" and gaming it out doesn't lead to a lot of good options.
There's a reason Biden had a cakewalk when Clyburn backed him - the rest of the field couldn't justify their candidacy (and I am a huge Warren fan.)
The 2024 conversations are going to be something.
I don't want to bog this down too much, but this "recall" is being fixed by an OTA update, like most of them. I get the point about quality, but all recalls are not created equal.
Who do you think says no to that deal?
There is not a chance in hell that the Republicans would take that deal. You would have to throw in the revocation of a few amendments.
