Biden's immigration policies are as fucked up as trump's, even if he leaves out the concentration camps. His enabling of genocide of Palestinians is beyond the fucking pale.

But a trump presidency would be exponentially worse, and democracy wouldn't survive it. Abortion, workers' rights, unions, voting rights, right to protest, freedom of movement, climate change, disaster response--all would worsen

So Biden it is

This is why we cannot let the Quiet New Deal stay so quiet

If politicians don’t think they will get credit for reducing administrative burdens, they just won’t do it. What do 11 down-on-their-luck factories being retrofitted to build EVs have in common with overdue raises for four million salaried workers or a billion dollars clawed back from millionaire tax cheats?

I'm feeling so frustrated at how easily the left has split into those dreaming an unfeasible scenario to replace Biden four months before election day, and those who will not abandon the only viable candidate--incumbent and with a capable VP to take over if needed.

I get the utter terror of a 2nd trump administration--I'm a target too!!!--but seeing white "progressives" fall so easily for the right's tactics is fucking disheartening.

Will you look at that.

#NateSilver now works for Polymarket, #Polymarket was found by, among others, #PeterThiel.

And now Nate Silver has spent a lot of capital on calls for Biden to drop out.

One time is coincidence, two is the beginning of a pattern, three is selling their soul for easy cash.

@YetAnotherGeekGuy I've had him blocked for ages, but it's amazing how, having been right once and mostly wrong ever since, he was named High Oracle by so many, for so long.
