That’s been true since the dawn of donnie.
NO SHIT. jeezus h christ NY Times tell us something we don’t know.
Having continuous pieces like this make a difference. Think of how many “Biden has to step aside!” pieces have been written in the past two weeks and how much a part of the political discussion that is. The more time the media takes up shouting from the rooftops that Trump is a threat to America, the more mainstream and central the discourse becomes.
if they don’t publish this and just report on biden’s gaffes:
“why is the media always talking about biden but not saying anything against the orange guy?”
Biden should use the recent President is King supreme court ruling to declare both of them unfit to run again.
The new candidates would be roughly on a level playing field to start and hopefully it would open up a extensive conversation about that ruling.
We can dream.
Yeah I don’t think it matters too much how he does it but he really needs to test that ruling because that’s the only way it’s going to get any restrictions put on it
The only restrictions are going to be based on which party the president is a member of.
The problem is Trump seems to run the Republican party whether he’s in office or not.
FUCK NYT. This opinion is like broken clock being right twice a day.
Is the broken clock analogy the new “we’re now in the find out phase” of the comment sections?
FUCK NYT
Is there a reason other than them criticizing Biden?
Edit:
They’ve endorsed a Dem every election back to 1956…
But pointing out the obvious that 81 is old and Biden acts his age and suddenly it’s all “FUCK NYT” because moderates act just like trumpets.
100% loyalty is permanently required, anything less and they never knew ya.
Fucking cultists really want to make the Dem party just like the Republican.
You’re reading a lot of oddly specific subtext from a single statement.
What?
I asked one question, which is literally “why”…
Is there a reason other than them criticizing Biden?
Which hasn’t gotten any response…
Then I went back in edited in how long and steadfast the NYT’s endorsement of Dems have been.
And commented on how concerning it was that all it took was recognizing reality for Biden supporters to start acting like trump supporters.
It’s bad enough when 1 of 2 parties act like that. When they both do were all fucked.
They look like Republicans because they are.
Pointing out the obvious is fine.
Repeating the same thing over and over while ignoring newer events is not fine. In fact it can be a sign of dementia.
donald trump is unfit to exist.
The same New York Times that put up an Op ed from political expert George Clooney yesterday telling Biden to step down. Gotta get the outrage clicks from both sides I guess.
But he should.
Well, except that apparently the replacement the DNC has in mind is Kamala fucking Harris. I knew it’d be too much to expect them to grow any balls.
No shit.
Biden’s mental state is a legitimate criticism but don’t expect the DNC to suddenly be anything other than center-left. Whoever would replace Biden would run with essentially the same platform.
I just hoped (stupid, I know) that SOMEONE would realize that salvaging the platform is the least of their worries.
They need someone who energizes the base. That’s how they won in 2008. That’s how they lost in 2016. And they only won in 2020 because Trump was such a tremendous fuck up and piece of shit. AND STILL ONLY BARELY.
God damn.
Center-left? DNC? On what planet? The DNC is a right-wing liberal party, it’s no flavor of Socialist, or even Social Democrat. Perhaps when the largest alternative is the GOP, filled with fascists and far-right populists, but that doesn’t change the views of the DNC, only their context.
My argument still stands. No one should expect the DNC to replace Biden with someone more left leaning than Biden regardless of how you put the DNC on the political spectrum.
Oh, sure. The DNC will only post right wing liberals, that’s their deal.
As bad as I think Biden’s chances are, I wonder if Kamala’s are not worse.
I think the idea is that she is already VP, so it creates less drama than trying to shoehorn someone else in at the last moment. We already have had to accept her being one seat away from the presidency, making her the candidate is easier for voters to swallow.
She’s no worse politically than Biden, but she isn’t ancient and fumbling the job either, so I would absolutely vote for her if she were the candidate.
If Biden does step down, I don’t see any possibility that the DNC could replace him with anyone else that isn’t going to create extreme disunity amongst Democratic voters.
Harris has been an active and progressive VP. She has been better and more effective than every VP going back to Dan Quayle.
Her only problems are charisma, and right wing propaganda. Same as Hillary.
I wouldn’t call right wing propaganda “her problem”, right wing propaganda is going to exist for literally any liberal that challenges the far-right.
Why are we pretending that Kamala and Hillary were uniquely hated by the right? The entire Republican platform is a platform of hate. We cannot take their prejudices seriously because prejudice is all they will ever offer.
Hillary was uniquely hated though. She was a solid first lady and an OK senator and pretty good secretary of State. And the discourse around her was brain boilingly toxic. Obama was the only Democrat that experienced something similar, maybe Pelosi. Biden, Clinton, and Gore did not get that level of visceral hatred.
This is likely a response to criticism about their editorial saying Biden should step aside. There wasn’t enough “Trump bad” in that one for people so they’re making their position clear.
What is the counterpoint elsewhere on the page? “Donald Trump Must Be Allowed To Destroy Us All?”
Some one should tell his voters that.
He wasn’t fit to lead eight years ago either.
