Fair enough, Samuel. Fair enough, sir.

This is what libtards truly believe. Honestly thought only jsdarkstar would be the one in here that would be afraid of Trump murdering everyone without repercussion, but looks like the hysteria has a strong hold on you as well.

We are now almost a week post-debate and the Chair of the DNC is touting polls showing a negligible impact and unequivocally saying Biden is the nominee. If there truly were a fire raging behind the scenes as all the talking heads were claiming, I'd have expected to see a lot more smoke from the prominent players by now.

 

How many times have we seen over and over that a Trump quote/action/criminal charge has no impact? At this point it makes perfect sense for a bad debate not to matter.

Exactly what I've been trying to say. There's no permanence in the news cycle anymore. Not with these two, and now that you can add RFK Jr's wild ish to the mix, it's virtually impossible for anything of significance to avoid fading in a week's time.

It was fun to watch the GOP spike the football all week, but most votes are firm. The anti-Trump vote remains very firm and a truly independent vote likely won't say "Welp, definitely got to be Trump". The next debate is crucial though.

Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race

 

 

There is plenty of stuff out there like this article and I'm talking about places like MSNBC, CNN, etc.  There are also plenty of opinion polls trending negatively for Biden post debate.  Even if the direct Trump vs. Biden voting polling numbers don't move much there is still the matter of turnout to consider.

It is clear that there is a struggle going on right now within the broader Dem community and Friday's interview will be a key moment in determining what happens.  Biden is hanging by a thread at the moment.

The WH denies the NYT report.  The entire thing is a big cluster F for the left and the Dems right now.  The last thing they need is a bunch of infighting. 

Dr Philly is right, I'm starting to think the NYT isn't averse to painting the Biden campaign in an overly critical light while ignoring the opposition completely. Someone should start a twitter account lampooning this recent phenomenon.

Removing Biden to set up a cage match free for all at the convention would be the hands down stupidest move I've seen a party commit in the history of my following politics. But hey, go ahead and tell Macron and his snap elections to hold your beer.

The NYT folks are big time Trump supporters.  This board seems like the last place to find that out though.

Lol wait... I hope this is trolling or schtick.

Macron's defeat last week says a lot about where all this is headed.  The far left is sick and tired of compromising and they are ready to let the centrist coalitions die, allow the far right to take power and climb the ladder as the resistance.

Master strategists!

You mean NYT is not pro Biden.  Yeah, they've been one of the outlets who've questioned Biden for some time.

If you pop up CNN or NBCNews or MSNBC you will see the top headlines all addressing the topic of Biden and his candidacy.

We were laughing at the far right 6 yrs ago, I'd say it's stubbornly blind to dismiss the tactic with a casual wave. The truth is Paco that world wide we are seeing a massive political shift where the far right and very possibly also the far left outnumber the centrists, individually not collectively.  The majority of recent elections in  western countries supports this.

 

And the bit of it is, these two factions could find common ground and decide that they can work together enough to rule without the centrists.  Neither of them like foreign entanglements. Neither of them like democracy and they both love themselves some conspiracy theories.

152.3m -> 158.5m, or about 4% net new. 

We passed "replacement job" territory June 2022 (that's when the workforce surpassed pre-Covid) 

We're currently right about where we'd expect to be if the trend pre-Covid continued. 10y chart:

 

Which US currency denomination will they be putting president Harris on?

My guess is that she'll replace Hamilton on the tenner, since we've already been acclimatized to him being colorised.

But it's conceivable they will invent a new bill for her to honour what will assuredly be an historic and transformational reign.

On the one hand, a high value like $200 would put her above her white, race-st cis-male predecessors, but a smaller value, say $25 would have more circulation and visibility.

I'm sure they'll have it straightened out before she takes her oath of office in a few weeks.

That's not a counterpoint to my objection to "16 million jobs gained" as being impressive.  That's net gain once they got back to pre pandemic levels, which is a completely different discussion.

Again, that's exactly what we said of the far right just 6 yrs ago, heck 4 yrs ago before Trump's total and complete take over of the GOP.

 

Kennedy may be a whack job, but his hand picked platform is anything but stupid.  It's a very smart cherry picking of the issues the far left and far right could decide to agree on, the far right gives up climate denial, the far left goes back to hating vaccines.
