I can’t wait to see how alienating their current base by running to the right works out for them. It won’t. Biden will probably win 2020 but will be out on his rear end in 4 years when all the “moderate republicans” come back home to the GOP.

Kasich is a recent and popular Republican governor of an electorally important swing state who is going to lay out the Republican case that it's okay to vote for Biden (and/or that it's okay not to vote Trump). Still seems to me that the underlying complaint is about having a nominee that Kasich is willing to vote for, not that Kasich is being given a platform to make the case to vote for him.

A few packages I've ordered have been delayed and it's pretty obviously because of the attack on the post office. I order things through the mail regularly and I've never had these kinds of problems before. In fact, I've had items shipped from the exact same seller from the exact same location that have always arrived on time or sooner until now. Like, I have the tracking information, I can see that the items were shipped on time and see exactly where the slowdowns are happening. It's a frustrating situation, and it makes me even angrier thinking about how if I'm having this much trouble getting my dumb stuff there are definitely people out there not getting more important things like medication. I don't blame the sellers, or the post office, and under regular circumstances I don't care much about the occasional delay because poo poo happens and I know it'll get here eventually. However, knowing that this is something that was caused intentionally so a cartoonishly evil man can commit a crime and could have been completely avoided is making me want to break things and start fires.

Or is Bernie not on the left anymore? Didn't you hear? Bernie's canceled and everything he's ever done and is doing is now bad because he's sold out the left by joining Biden and AOC is 20% canceled and some are eagerly awaiting to cancel the remaining 80% of her just knowing deep down in their souls she is going to slip up and they can jump on her saying "She was never good." But that being said, it is true the Centrists see the Left as pleebs they have to get on board, take them for granted cause where else will they go, and just have to keep them in line while they eye the GOP megadonors desperately yearning to get at their sweet donations.

There Bias Two posted:I'll be very surprised if Biden makes it all 4 years. To be fair I'm surprised Trump seems like he will be making it all 4. Even without impeachment, I figured - and I seem to recall others saying as much too - that even with him shirking the responsibilities of the job as much as he does, that between his general lifestyle and the 'stress' of office (or in his case the stress of not getting what you want at all times) that him retiring or dying due to health issues was probably more likely than him doing four years.

Or is Bernie not on the left anymore? Harris, the VP nominee, consistently has voted further left of Bernie by the progressives own measurement (progressive punch) at 97% and 100% progressive by Fox News measurement. She almost literally could not be more progressive in the current political arena. Claims that Biden or the Democrats aren't pushing left enough are absurdist bordering on disinformation.

Or is Bernie not on the left anymore? No one on the left gives an ounce of what Bernie says thought anymore. He was always a compromise candidate and now he's compromised. The fact that M4A isn't in the platform as even an olive branch is a perfect example along with wanting to criminalize BDS. Bernie isn't some kind of leftist messiah everyone thinks he is.

But I think fewer people on the left really care this year, whether because neither are Hillary or because the surrounding situation is so much more dire.

I hope Democrats keep telling Trump he cannot pardon Edward Snowden and he throws out a pardon out of spite. Obama should have done it before he left office. I doubt Biden will do it, so oddly Trump is probably Snowden's best chance for the next 12 years.
