I genuinely have never seen anything like this: a fully self-sustaining viral panic attack, largely untethered to any actual observable facts on the ground. It is profoundly hysterical, verging on suicidal, and the epitome of self-fulfilling prophecy
I’m not convinced that Biden should stay at the top of the ticket, but I’ve seen very little indication that any of this will be calmed by Harris ascending. I think a large chunk of people are having a complete emotional collapse and frankly I no longer have the patience for it
