Okay, this place has been absolutely rancid for the past few days and doesn't really seem like it's on a path to improve any time soon. I'm gonna take a break, maybe come back later, maybe not. IDK.
So basically "We cannot afford to have any more big public fuckups" Which uh, true? But also like, there were several big public good performances in the days immediately after the debate so, shrug on all of that? NYT gotta NYT, I guess?
Negative press coverage bad for Biden? I'm sorry but that has been happening since 2020! They went on like a 1-2 week long crusade against his DOGS in 2021. If negative press was gonna sink us, it would've happened in 2022 or in any of the gorbillion special elections Ds *mysteriously* won.
And all the doomsaying here? Fucking bullshit. Pisses me off. It isn't the spineless cowardness of it. It's how all this screeching started last week and suddenly what Gaza? What's a Gaza? Never heard of it. Biden's old and has to be replaced, that's the new hotness! I don't fucking buy it.
We have seen for like 2 months now that trump rallies are anemic. Normal people hated him when they saw him on the debate. Biden being old is a known factor and at some point headline fatigue sets in on your avg person.
I'm gonna inject some hope. I think we're still fucking favored. We have seen very, VERY consistently that trump's floor and ceiling are both identical and not enough. We have several election-defining issues that favor the Ds. Warchest, GotV, Ads, every non-poll thing favors us.
The VA one, what. I'm sorry, but this is obvious dogwater.
Didn't the last poll say Trump was winning women and like having a once-in-a-generation shift on <29 y/o minorities? That doesn't pass a basic smell test.
we need to shut down england until we figure out what's going on. why do they have guys named things like "keir starmer" and "lord rees-mogg"
