Was Biden looking like warmed over death a week ago Russia disinformation too? Or should I not trust my lying eyes?

Running an 84 year old incumbent is the dumbest idea. Switching him out four months before the election when it’s clear to everyone he’s not up to the task is the second dumbest idea.
I’m not passing blame. Just giving an example.
The “who do you want to be in the white house when the phone rings at 3 in the morning?” write themselves.
Jesus fucking christ.
I can kind of feel the author on this. I’m in charge of a lot of “special projects” at work that basically come down to, “figure out a way to replicate this extremely expensive technology or software using low cost or free alternatives”. It ends up being an unholy mix of programs and hardware that is held together with duct tape and super glue and any minor perturbation means something breaks.
I was gonna say… “That can be arranged, Mr. Starmer”.
Newsome is charismatic but would be a hard sell to Georgia and the Midwest.
Whitmer would be good since she’d motivate more women to vote and would do will in the Midwest.
Harris is right out. She has negative charisma.
Raskin has charisma but he’s an old ugly white guy. Wouldn’t turn out the youth vote.
Jeffries would be a good pick if he had started campaigning a year ago.
Stacy Abrams is in the same boat. If she had a year to get more name recognition she’d have a chance.
Aoc, Crockett, and moskowitz are good back benchers but won’t be ready for a few more years yet, if ever.
If I had to choose it’d be Whitmer. She has the fewest negatives, as long as there are no skeletons in the closet waiting to come out.
Re trumps numbers after conviction, I think the conviction was a forgone conclusion for most people. Having 12 people confirm what you already know is true doesn’t make someone flip their vote.
If the trial had been televised with Trump asleep in court, I think you would have seen a bugger drop but it would have preceded the actual conviction.
An individual poll might be but agreggate polls definitely can show a trend. The trend is not good for Biden. He took all the wind out of his sails last week. I’m in the anyone but trump camp but how can anyone in good faith argue with an undecided that Biden has another four years in him?
Records are great but elections are about the future.
I’m not a dem but will vote for anyone with a pulse that isn’t trump. Dems are deluding themselves if they think Biden is their best or even only candidate that can beat Trump. I want someone that will instill confidence and contrast with Trump. Biden ain’t it. I’ll still vote for whoever isn’t trump on the ballot though.
Arrest the freedom Caucus and pass legislation to fix this before they can be replaced.
I think Whitmer is the better choice. It locks up Wisconsin and brings in the woman vote. It’s also an aspirational vote, like Obama was in 2008.
That didn’t help Clinton, obviously, but Whitmer is no Clinton (in a good way).
There’s about six weeks to the convention. That’s enough time but barely. Harris will want to take the top spot, and maybe she should, but Newsome is the one that could beat Trump, maybe.
What a disaster.
Two words: brokered convention.
I almost wonder if Biden’s staff suggested this super early pre-convention debate so he would be forced to acknowledge he needs to step down. I can’t see any other explanation.
“Gentlemen, good evening. I will in a moment give you each five unrelated words. In 90 minutes I will ask you to recall those five words. I look forward to a spirited debate. Good luck.”
Ehrlich Bachman, this is your mom and you, you are not my baby.
Even needing 60% it’ll pass. Medical Marijuana passed 71-29 in 2016. We’ve had cbd stores and dispensaries on every other corner here in Tampa for the last five years and no one gives a shit. Floridians travel to Nevada, California, Colorado, and other states and see that’s its not a big deal.
I predict at least 70% vote for it. I’ll be floored if it gets less than 65%.
Yes, that’s my point. If you have a library full of 1080 h264 then the pi 4 is a better choice. The Pi5 will struggle with software decoding compared to the 4.
At the end of the day, they’re different boards with different use cases. I think a lot of people don’t appreciate that enough.
Oof.
