  • Biden BARELY beat him the first time around and conditions are WORSE this time around:

    1: The electorate has a ridiculously short memory and aren't currently suffering from Trump being president.

    2: Related to but distinct from 1, Biden's main strategy of "at least I'm not the other guy" is much less effective for an incumbent than a challenger.

    3: Biden is currently alienating a large part of his own base by supporting two seperate genocides (Gaza and Yemen), one of which Democrats actually care about even when there's a Dem president.

    Don't get me wrong, I REALLY want him to win since he's by far the lesser evil, but for the above reasons and others, there's a significant risk of him actually losing if the traitor isn't disqualified as he should be

  • The joint statement that they didn't want any enforceable ethics rules was signed by all of them.

    That means that, while not anywhere near as obviously corrupt and otherwise awful as the Federalist Society ones, the rest of the court is also against transparency and being held to a higher standard than a pinky swear, which isn't a great sign..

  • Oh yeah? I've won the local bad decisions championship 9 times out of the last 10!

    The reason I didn't win last year was because I stayed up all night watching YouTube reaction videos and ended up sleeping through the whole thing, so I consider it a moral victory.

  • That, and there's groups like AIPAC that'll do their best to crush any politician who's not sufficiently deferential to the apartheid regime.

    Incidentally, Biden once bragged about going to more AIPAC events than any other politician in Washington.
