uh oh, your zipper is showing

Ok, I’ve had a pretty good first experience in the cloak room, with everything except you, even those of different views than I. You now have the honor of being first on my ignore list.

Is it really hard to fathom that someone doesn't want a brain mush candidate as much as they don't want the orange Cheetoh? 

A lot of people haven't made the connection that this is fascism vs democracy on the ballot because they aren't tuned in. 

Trump is also a brain mushed candidate, he’s just the more dangerous one imo.

I have only one rule, no time machines build one please and save us. Otherwise what is the point? I only care moving forward if Biden calls it quits and the result is a disaster I will not be wasting a second arguing hey guys should have listened to me!

You'll learn soon enough the definition of nemesis. 

Or certainly the plural of nemesis.

I usually don’t venture too far out with hot takes or things I don’t understand.

It's a righteous infliction of retribution, manifested by an appropriate agent.  Personified in this case by a horrible cunt, me.

but history is so dire for a switch so late, it is the only path and I mean only path I see for a Nixon style blowout aka 100% guaranteed loss.

Ok, understood, but this is where we disagree.

It only happened once before, and I'd advise you to see how HH was nominated before comparing the situations.  As a hint, when his nomination was announced, the crowd in attendance at the Democratic National Convention broke out in chants of "No, No, No"

This year would only be similar if the Dems nominated someone equally as unpopular to run in Biden's place.

I mean you hated on democrats (correctly) about "its my turn!", and you honestly don't think that the nominee will not be unpopular?

People will hate JUST because they are not his/her candidate, and that is even before we even enter the big tent disaster, the Dem party is a bigger tent than in the 60s

It's the best worst option.

It's also why he should have never been the nominee in 2020. 

Now we're stuck.

More Dems calling for it.

Just saw one from June 30, saying 72 percent of Americans don’t believe Biden had the mental capacity to function as president and 49 percent believe Trump doesn’t, this is where we are at, two candidates with serious doubt of cognitive ability.

Well let's hope this goes well.

 

Hoppefully the interview is between 10am and 4pm.

Also, it's pretty strategic to schedule it on Friday just in case it's a disaster.

This is so goddamn depressing. Is there any path forward to beat Dotard? I don’t see one with Biden. I felt differently before that performance and was hopeful the truly awful nature of Dotard, coupled with the power of the incumbency, would prevail. You don’t have to be a geriatrician to recognize that wasn’t cold symptoms on display and it’s only going to get worse. It should not have been difficult, at all, to expose that lying piece of shit.

To be fair, Kamala Harris does not have the mental capacity to function as President either. 

Also to be fair, she's simply not good at politics.

well, they're going to try at least.  this is the only way forward.

Yep. Keeping his appearances minimal him and trying to run out the clock won't work anymore. If he's the guy, gotta at least try to build momentum. On the plus side, he set his already low bar all the way on the floor. A couple just non-disastrous showings would go a long way towards altering the narrative.

Just not holding my breath.

Kamala Harris isn't owed shit. If you fire the head coach you are under zero obligation to promote the offensive coordinator to head coach.

Beat?  I'm not sure.  Stop?  Yes.

Would using Seal Team 6 to give Trump and his allies the Bin Laden treatment at Mar-A-Lago in an effort to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" count as an official act under the guidelines from the recent SCOTUS ruling?

It can't get any more official than that. I mean, it's Seal Team 6 from the United States Navy.  It's not like using the Gambino family.

It's just like the fucking Dems to destroy their own chances by bringing in doubt about Biden at the 11th hour.  The average American didn't even watch the debate.  Those that watched would've forgotten it by now if they wouldn't keep bring it the fuck up.  They talk about it more than the GQP.

I suppose the only fly in the ointment is that 80% of the Seals are probably MAGA.

Yup. All republicans back their guy. Today a dem politician calls for their candidate to step down. Pure insanity.

Under the scenario where Biden is pressured to step down'

If Kamala is the nominee, she would lose because a large portion of the population are racist and/or misogynist. Wish it wasn't true, but it is. 

Of course the black vote would balk at replacing Kamala with Newsome. 

So fucked either way

This just isn't reality, man. Anecdotal, I know, but the last 5 days have been the only time in the past 4 years that friends have wanted to talk politics with me. I make it a point to not hang around people who would normally bring up politics in casual settings. The "oh shit, we're fucked" and "are these two really the best we can do" sentiments are in the mainstream consciousness now, and the apathy is palpable.

Yes, few people actually watched the debate, but it was so bad that everyone has heard about it.

Because if Biden is the nominee he will get crushed. Plain and simple. He won in 2020 on 80,000 votes across four states. Not only will he lose all of those states this time around, but he will lose a lot more. It's just not happening.

The debate only solidified what many people already thought.  It was the straw that broke the camel's back for some.

Not sure why some people can't understand that the debate debacle didn't happen in a vacuum.  There were already rumblings, and Biden's only job in the debate was to disprove what people felt like they were seeing and hearing... instead he threw gasoline on the fire.

It's amazing that people can't see this. "Kamala isn't owed anything!" Okay, grasshop her with a white guy and let's see how minority voters feel about it.

All Republicans don’t back Trump. Multiple dem politicians have called for Biden to step down. Rightfully so. Regardless, how is this “pure insanity”?  

Correct.

Multiple dems are calling for him to step down is because they know there is no chance at winning if he stays in.  
None.

Bringing almost anyone in helps their chances.
