I mean he does have a point that the Dems should also be rolling out a policy platform beyond "Wow, Project 2025 sure is a stinker amirite??", in addition to calling out the freakshow opposite.

Hopefully that's coming post-DNC/endorsement, because we know Trump is happy to promise all sorts of unachievable magic beans bullshit to win, and having a weak/no policy platform to counter that will not drive turnout.

Some trouble is that there's a lot of policy stuff and "100 day" stuff in Biden's plan, but it got blocked by a wall of Biden Old.

So hopefully, things like this announced today can start to break through:

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
There are 13 circuit courts and there should be as many Supreme Court judges as number of circuit courts.

Also the 8th and 9th should each be cut in half.

It's been my belief for a while that "Biden Old" is just voter shorthand for "he can't talk good and I don't think his brain works anymore". Walz looks like Biden's age, but he isn't, and sure as hell doesn't sound like it. I don't think he'd get the Biden Old treatment. And he'd clearly steamroll anyone who tried.

I think he's The One. I don't remember thinking that during Biden's VP pick time. I think Walz is the guy and he's got It.

I mean yeah, the issue was always that his cognitive functions appeared to be declining rather than an arbitrary number, though the extra 20 years sure didn't help.

“Biden’s age” was always a euphemism for his perceived and ultimately real declining body and mind.

Bad actors sometimes used this in a motte & bailey argument where the concerns were pretended to be about his numeric age and nothing more, but everyone understood what was really going on.

As it's been pointed out, trump is declining way harder than biden by any reasonable measure of coherence. And the presidency is very rarely a job that requires snap judgement over long-term strategic decisions. But perception matters and it's hard to argue the democrats aren't better off since switching to harris.

Donnie says his most damaging and self-destructive poo poo in softball interviews.

Which is basically why I don't see his numbers improving, whereas Kamala has an upside. He also has a Q&A at the National Association of Black Journalists tomorrow, so that'll definitely bring some weird poo poo.

And he doubled-down on the "you'll never have to vote again" poo poo even as Laura Ingraham gave him offramp after offramp.

In Georgia, any registered voter can file an unlimited number of voter challenges with their local elections board alleging that people on the voter rolls are not eligible to vote. Activists have filed around half a million challenges going back to the January 2021 Senate runoffs in the state.

If Swift and Kelce go public in favor of Harris it could very well be a deciding factor in the race, because that’s a huge swath of the country they can touch.

It's inevitable and likely been back-channelled already due to timing. My guess is late August or September. Taylor Swift's currently on tour overseas until August 20th then off the road until... past election day on November 14th.

I predict Taylor Swift will be doing lots of things in the late campaign and the Kelces will probably be involved too. Swing states have lots of big stadiums that would love to have a one-off rally/concert!

It would also let Swift dip her toe in politics because she’ll be 35 in December.

Votes. Here's the graphical version:

https://x.com/JonLevi/status/1818390316174774628

There's a zero percent chance that Kamala is +11 in Michigan but -4 in Pennsylvania. Those states don't work that way.

But FINALLY we're getting weirdass outliers that support the concept of a tied race. In a tie, you should every now and then get a weirdass result in both directions.

Which is also why Donnie and his band of idiots is freaking out so much. They don't really have anything to stop this kind of momentum.

The one state they didn't mention from that survey is PA being Trump 50-46 Harris, which seems like an outlier (but a big and potentially problematic one) if all those other states have swung her way.

Cooper apparently wants to run for Senate in 2026 and didn't want the VP slot.

I'm also posting because it turns out that Kamala is kinda good at this poo poo. UAW's coming on board shortly after holy hell:
