I mean I have no doubt the money men can turn on the spigots when they want but that still shows a shocking lack of donor buy in for the year leading up to the election.

Yep, there's probably no better indicator that you will definitely turn out to vote than being a donor.

Well, maybe having a MAGA tattoo or being in the KKK, but y'know what I mean

The thing is that it is indiscernible from the pre-2016 election. "Biden is old and dementia-riddled" was the entire argument against him, and he won anyway.

Biden didn't compete in that election.

And see, because I can remember that piece of information, I can also remember that Beau Biden died in 2015. With this intense level of recall I should run for President or at least get a bye into the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions

86% think that Biden is too old and he is. This includes 59% who think both Biden and Trump are too old and they are. 27% believes that only Biden is too old and not Trump.

So we're zoning in on the precise age where you shouldn't be President. 80? Honestly makes sense to me, even though I'd personally say 65

You may or may have not heard that there was an attempted mass shooting at Lakewood Church in Houston (Osteen's church) on Sunday. The discourse on this one is going to be intolerable, as the perpetrator ended up being a trans woman with "Free Palestine" written on her AR-15. She was stopped by "good guys with guns", so this will perfectly slot into the conservative narrative on guns and mass shootings. (That the off duty cops returning fire likely shot a child who is not expected to survive will be omitted of course).

US states have vastly more autonomy than administrative subdivisions of any other country. When we say the US is actually an alliance rather than a single nation, we're only half kidding

Yeah historically speaking the US can look more like some kind of weird mercantile alliance like the Hanseatic League than a distinct country with a unified culture and legislature. I wan't kidding with the EU comparison.

Bidens team expertly played both sides of the "one-term President" gambit. He never endorsed the concept outright, but as the links above show it was a running theme prior to his announcement, and then while he was running there were frequent articles about Biden being a "bridge to the future" of the "next generation of leaders". Honestly they threaded the needle there amazingly well

Trump's age is, like, #8 on the list of reasons he shouldn't be president. With Biden it's the only thing they can really hit him on because he's kind of boring otherwise.

They tried the Biden Crime Family stuff but other than his son being an idiot there just wasn't much there.

I really don't understand why Democrats insist on fighting "fair" when Republicans are completely shameless about gerrymandering. The WI map also could have been more D leaning if they wanted. Even Robin Vos is counting it as something of a win since it's basically the most R leaning map that was under consideration. Ideally gerrymandering would be banned altogther by a constitutional amendment, but since that's never going to happen why not fight fire with fire?

This is just asking "Why Are Democrats?"- their whole deal is a slavish, self-immolating commitment to imagined Sorkin-ite ideals that were never actually the bipartisan consensus.
