Sure they are buying both parties, but if they only really want the Republicans to win elections and wield power, I’m not sure how sustainable the status quo is going to be for them.

The only hope is that the markets scare Trump, I guess? The thing is, he already has so much money that it doesn’t really matter to him materially.

Don't worry, SpaceX is gonna run the FAA now, or something. Maybe Hyperloops instead of airplanes. Whatever Cpt. Ketamine wants, I guess.

Seems like it’s going to be nearly impossible to put the government back together again if the Trumpists ever cede power.

Yeah… I probably should amend my statement

Republicans like to run the circular firing squad when they lose elections, Democrats do it when they win.

I’d be happy with Harris as the candidate 🤷

Re: Eschaton: Hunger Games

ChrisWWW — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 10:33:09 -0000

There are no other plausible reasons one may not prefer Harris? Not even her worse than a generic Dem alternative poll numbers?

I will say that the expressed fantasies about some sort of made up competition to "avoid" replacing Biden with Harris confirm the not-very-nice motives of many of the powerful people behind the ditch Biden movement.

Why? What are the “not-very-nice motives“?

If Biden’s numbers drop even further in the wake of Saturday’s events, that’s more not less reason for Biden to drop out in favor of a more able bodied candidate

You’d think there’d be some cost to failure, but I guess you’re right.

It’s not difficult to imagine the sclerotic Democratic Party having a lost decade if they don’t get an infusion of new ideas and personnel.

I'd argue this country, and the people who are elected to lead it, are a little different than they were in the 1840s and before.
