Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the anti-Biden "left" shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.

Almost like the people stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.

I've been voting reliably, including in midterms, since Obama I, so I don't feel too bad about talking shit. Straight up, Biden surprised me positively quite a few times during his presidency. I'm a HUGE fan of what he and Pete have done to help revive rail infrastructure in the US. The genocide weighs, very, very heavily for me, such that I'd eagerly vote for a realistic alternative, but I recognize that Trump will make that situation far, far worse. All that said, my chief concern at this point is can Biden keep Trump out, and I have grave doubts about that.

AOC would be old enough by the inauguration IIRC, and I don't personally think Newsom has too much baggage. What, specifically, does Newsom have as baggage besides the high crime of being governor of CA? As for Gore... Yeah, I feel like his concession was the first time this fascist bullshit was heavily rewarded at the federal level, but in his defense, I don't think anyone understood the gravity of the situation at the time, USPol still had an air of respectability. Sure, I'd go for Stewart, as long as he could answer effectively about his SIMA policies.

Nothing so much as he's a magnet for right-wing media to shit on. That can't be discounted because as we've seen every single time, the MAGAts love that crap, smear it around, and win elections wtih it.

(Edit: oh and being married to junior’s wife is going to be a thing)

I don't know what SIMA is? Apparently either search is so befucked it can't find somethign simple like SIMA or SIMA isn't known to it. Is it Steel trade agreements? That's the only thing I could see that was even remotely likely.
