Jefferies and Pressley both back Biden. We’re sending VinceCarter.gif back to the locker room, Kamala is preparing to dial up the nominee and let him know they did it.
Biden as nominee SURGING on PredictIt, 41c to 57c, and gun to my head I’d buy yes right now. Feels like about a 2 to 1 favorite.
Not if the answer is as simple as it had nothing to do with Biden.
Doesn’t matter now. The incoherent old guy is the nominee if he doesn’t fuck it up again in the next few weeks. The selfish fuck and all the selfish fucks around him have preserved their tiny shot at four more years, and left us all with an overwhelming likelihood of Project 2025 becoming reality. Good news for Joe is he probably won’t have to live through much of it.
This would be objectively hilarious if it wasn’t so depressing. They managed to cover up that he’s mentally unfit just long enough to lock in the nomination, then let him humiliate himself in a debate early enough to split the party, while managing to stay the nominee. Absolute worst case scenario top to bottom.
We’re now betting the Republic on the parlay of the 81 year old in cognitive decline going four months without another mishap AND the biggest polling miss, like, ever.
The good news is that we now know, with 100% certainty, that Trump could have just as easily climbed to power through the D party so no need to be all high and mighty towards Rs who got on the Trump train anymore.
Our so called leaders couldn’t stand a day of heat from our drooling fool of a President. Although tbf who knows how much heat his heavily indebted crackhead son was bringing.
What propaganda? That most publicly elected Ds don’t believe that Biden is fit to serve another 4.5 years but are supporting him anyway? Or the comparatively less scandalous detail that his crackhead son who is publicly documented to be in a $6.5 million hole is publicly documented to be involved in his effort to retain power?
Some people talking about the NYT’s Parkinson’s doctor story on social media have done significantly better journalism from their couches than the Times by looking at Biden’s schedule and seeing he wasn’t even in Washington on some of the dates the doctor visited.
Like Trump, Biden’s team will jump onto this misstep by the NYT to tarnish the 100 other articles where the NYT just straightforwardly laid out the facts that Biden is just obviously and clearly way too fucking old to competently serve as President for another 4.5 years.
Previously Biden’s team viciously attacked the NYT as being petty narcissists that were upset that he wouldn’t do an interview with them. Now the Biden team has been caught insisting that a journalist only ask pre chosen questions. Point NYT.
If you mean a morally bankrupt, sociopathic, narcissistic buffoon of a conman, I agree - to the extent one could win the primary. Not Trump, with his bigotry and authoritarianism. But a liberal version would not be stopped by elected officials if they won the primary.
I doubt our primary voters would be taken in by the conman, though.
That said, we have a narcissistic liar, and he pulled one over on his primary voters to some extent.
Like, the fact there are 100 articles about this (I dunno if you thought you were exaggerating, but you weren’t) is itself proof of a problem; the Biden team may be clowns but they’re not wrong about the Times.
I’d wager that the NYT has written at least double the # of articles about the many ways Trump is obviously unfit but Ds don’t count those because they are too obvious or something.
Very few people at The NY Times personally want Trump to be President, even the conservatives are Never Trumpers. So the idea that the powers that be there are working towards a Trump to win for the clicks is far more out there than anything that I have posted.
