And having boring politics again! Remember the times when it wasn't terrifying to look at the news?
I politically matured during the Bush II years. I don't ever remember being relaxed about politics.
I was relaxed about politics through the '90s because we had a Democrat president, a budget that was not just balanced but had an actual fucking surplus (there were actual debates about what to spend the surplus on), and a vice president that looked like a sure shot to continue control of the white house and who actually understood technology and was concerned about the environment. And then I woke up the morning after the 2000 election and realized what a complete shit show our country had become.
Who?
What if tries to run again in 2028 and 2032? If he even lives that long
Really hoping for a heart attack the day after poll results show he has lost abysmally.
Oh, he'll just be back in 2028. People probably won't even bother to take down their "Trump 2020" signs.
Someone near me taped over Pence and just wrote in Vance on their yard sign when they announced the nomination. I assume he spent too much on MAGA hats and stickers to afford a new sign.
I’m afraid this won’t happen anytime soon. The media will flock to him over and over again like flies on a pile of shit. The only way for this to stop…well, let’s say we missed our chance by two inches.
He seemed mostly out of the news cycle the past four years, no? Apart from the occasional update from one of his trials.
Yes, it was so nice those few years that the media didn't pretend that what he said mattered.
Everyone who was calling Biden too old three days ago are now like:
Ultimately the problem with Biden wasn't his age (although that was a contributing factor); it was that he wasn't going to win.
Also, Harris is not as blonde as Hillary, and Hillary barely lost, so I like her chances.
"the ultimate problem with paper isn't that it's white; it's that it's thin."
Biden's problem was that he was old, out of touch, and forced upon us by the DNC. Harris has energy. I may not agree with her fully, but she is a solid contender against Cheeto Benito.
Fuck Trump.
The worst part is that almost everyone was telling the DNC it was the wrong call, and they ignored people out of fear that they would lose. I fucking hate the DNC, but I hate the RNC more.
Why listen to the voters? It's not like this is a democracy.
So much hate!
I thought Biden had no chance to win before the debate, but the debate wasn't even the killing blow. His campaign was utterly and undeniably dead after the media response to the debate. We can acknowledge whatever other flaws he has or what else might have contributed, but that's what I believe was the point of no return.
And yes, fuck Trump.
Biden was too old three days ago and is three days older now.
I'm delighted that we have a better candidate now.
Make America Boring Again
I suppose a presidential order can stop Trump now, at Biden's leisure.
Corporate tax should be at least as high as personal income tax
According to to polls aggregated by 538, she's doing better than Biden, but still behind Trump.
That's great, but it's also a national poll. It doesn't account for Trump's electoral college advantage.
Polls. Do. Not. Matter.
538 isn't what it once was, they were purchased a few elections ago, and Nate Silver took his algorithms with him when he left he started the Silver Bulletin. He says it's too soon to make predictions. https://www.natesilver.net/p/7-quick-thoughts-on-the-latest-harris
