anyone else remember that time shaun king falsely accused someone of murdering a little girl, leading to him committing suicide because of the harassment he received?
insane how RCP is a straight up partisan republican outlet but everyone is like โwell theyโre called realclearpolitics so the must be a reliable source of informationโ
my order of preference for who the dem nominee should be:
1. biden
2. harris
3. bidenโs corpse
4. harrisโs corpse
5. an actual tomato can
6. hunter biden
7. hunter bidenโs crackpipe
8. hunter bidenโs dealer
9. congressional democratsโ soiled diapers
10. contested convention
A DNC video showed a 2016 clip of Trump saying "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions. He walked back the comment the same day. We found no evidence that he currently supports legal penalties for women who have abortions.

a month ago the new york times was insinuating that biden has parkinsonโs based on jack posobiecโs analysis of the white house visitors logs
@demsocsean
counterpoint: the fact that biden seems to be the sole actor atop the democratic party who doesnโt suffer from crippling levels of beltway brain is more than a little terrifying to me
@demsocsean
@schlagteslinks
if biden suffered from Beltway Brain to anywhere near the same degree as everyone else atop the party we would have been completely up shit creek though
itโs utterly insane how the 1968 election had a single-issue splinter candidate but that issue being the deciding factor is somehow against conventional wisdom
Dems have done next to nothing for young people since getting elected. That needs to change.
If they donโt pass some gun laws, climate reform, focus on permanent student debt relief and more they will lose the Sen and House and Biden will be impeached.
given that a month ago the new york times was insinuating that biden has parkinsonโs based off of jack posobiecโs analysis of the white house visitor logs, i donโt think you can reasonably come to any sort of charitable conclusion here
Hopefully (seriously) Trump will benefit from what the media learned in 2016, when it got played by state-sponsored hackers into publishing a drip-drip of Clinton information on the hackers' schedule.
Which is to say โย journalists can/should report seriously on real documents
@lxeagle17
apparently the backstory is that he was a wikipedia editor and then got mad that wikipedia didnโt deem him notable enough to have his own page lmao

nixon, the guy who won, was the most pro-war candidate in the race! and somehow everyone just accepts their self-fellating nonsense
@NateSilver538
Itโs even worse imo. Biden 2020 intentionally signaled this wouldnโt happen during his original run. It mattered and help lessen age concerns at the time. To now say โofc the incumbent would run againโ is haughty political insider bs. They gaslit public and may pay for it
Biden is amazing at ethnic political pandering because his pandering is so incredibly blatant that it somehow doesn't feel manipulative
Normal politicians: *learn 5 spanish words for a speech*
Biden: "Poles love me - they call me Joe Bidenski! Any Jews in the room? L'chaim!"
Biden's poll denialism is turning off a lot of political scientists right now. And these political scientists are Democrats. You can either be a science-based party or do what Biden's doing on polls right now. But you can't be both.
There have always been two Joe Bidens. The empathetic, decent, big-hearted leader, forged in loss and grief, finding the good in his friends and opponents, in love with America, arms wide and open with space for everyone. And thereโs the blowhard with a chip on his shoulder,

@MMiraculorum
trans rights are such party orthodoxy at this point that they arenโt really even used as fodder for red state dems to performatively buck the party and itโs insane how taken for granted that is
