  • Kamala is the only reasonable choice to replace him.

    If she is smart, she runs a campaign that frames herself the cop and Trump as a criminal. Frame it as cleaning up Washington, “no nonsense black mom” schtick. She could promise to finally legalize pot and codify Roe, Play up the deficit and Trump’s tax cuts impact on it. Immediately turn the tables on Trump and his age. Point out that Trump is older than Biden was at the beginning of his first term.

    She would have an uphill battle, America is still very racist and very sexist. As I recall she is poling equal or worse than Biden is right now, but with enough money she could overcome some of that.

    No matter what this election is going to be close, I genuinely believe that Kamala has a better chance, but that’s predicated on getting started as soon as possible. Everyday Biden stays in the race kamala’s chances shrink.




  • Of course CNN took advantage of the easy ratings. Of course they platformed the fascist in order to stay relevant.

    When I leave a burrito on the coffee table I don’t get mad at my dog for trying to take it. I blame myself for leaving it within easy reach.

    This entire debate was a Biden self-own before he opened his mouth. If he had the rhetorical skill of someone like Obama he might have been able to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. But, he doesn’t, and he didn’t.

    This feels like 2016 all over again, we’re going to end up with Trump because the Democrats are being led by someone whose own hubris will destroy them.



  • You know what?

    Late October, with a ceasefire in place, I can understand the impulse to swallow your pride and vote Biden out of fear. It’s not an impulse I’ll share, but it’s one I can understand.

    But we are over 4 months away from the election. Pledging your support to an incumbent president while he is in the middle of supporting a genocide, with no reservations or halfhearted attempts to demand concessions is so servile it makes me sick.

    Look at my “leftists” bro. We are never getting socialism bro.



  • Israel is desperate to record a win.

    They have not been able to demonstrate victory in Gaza despite taking over practically the entire territory. They have not been able to demonstrate a win against Hezbollah despite lobbing missiles back and forth for months. They have not been able to record a win against Iran despite blowing up an oil pipeline and (mabie) assassinating a president.

    Even assuming the political leadership in Israel wanted to end this conflict (they don’t) they can’t really de-escalate until they’ve “won” something.

    If Netanyahu were truly a statesman and a Patriot, he could in this conflict and shoulder the burden of defeat. Give Israel away to deescalate the situation and save face. Unfortunately for everyone involved Netanyahu may be a nationalist but he’s not a patriot.
