If we are worried about a brief honeymoon period, maybe Biden should call for an early election?

this 100%, either that or ask them point blank if theyâre on board with dumping the electoral college and equal representation for states in the senate

yeah this, I think people are way too simplistic in assuming that things stay basically the same over four or eight years AND that primaries within the party are somehow predictive about what will happen in a general âhurr durr bernie canât win CA in the primary therefore he canât win it in the generalâ shut the fuck up

+A million. Thatâs exactly where all the Biden poll unskewing nonsense came from.
Would love to see these reporters do an explainer on Beetlejuice memes

Uh, maybe not where youâre from, but in CA, we were definitely voted for in an election. An election, mind you, that we had to both convince people to register for separately, then remind them to cast their vote.

The laughing part is an actual issue and too easy to denigrate, as a slogan.
He believes in democracy. Would it not be hypocritical to vote for an illegitimate candidate?
Lol, 12 minutes of absolutely nothing. Its reslly quite incredible. Like they never even thought for a second that this was a possibility.
This is the best part. We are four days in and they have no cohesive and coherent attack message.
They will come up with something but might it be a day late and a dollar short?
Wouldnât the strongest constraint be Bidenâs delay? I could see any number of perhaps stronger candidates raise if we werenât having to pick a candidate within a few weeks without infrastructure to do so. I know you said âelite distaste for chaosâ but chaos itself doesnât seem good if thereâs not a very clear cut way to get to a resolution and an open convention that hasnât been done in a long time seems like a very risky way to do it.
I would hope that this would be a learning lesson to strengthen the infrastructure to be able to take on the contingencies so that if something happens the powers that be can be like âdonât worry, hereâs the plan B to get to a resolutionâ.
We may think that the racism has been mask-off since Trump called Mexicans rapists, but I suspect we ainât seen nothing yet.
It does seem like them unequivocally losing this early battle to frame her candidacy negatively is a pretty big deal. Sheâs basically getting a golden opportunity to refresh her public image in a significant way and theyâre spending the whole cycle flailing.
Thereâs still a long way to go and the tides can turn quick. Just ask Howard Dean.

You ask. He scares me too much
I thought this was a republic?
Anyway, I was searching through your posts for when you denounced the undemocratic process that went down on January 6th 2020, but itâs oddly missing! You dumb fucking hypocrite.
