Hmmm, I have lost three subscribers over this. Bet they didn't even read the newsletter.

Bet they did and I know why. Ben lost lots and Steve’s is too and so on. Never seen so many male quitters in my life. Women will win this for the country as the

Cryers sit back and cry. Unbelievable. You can blame yourselves if trump wins ✅

I’m only liking this because they are probably fuckwits, not because you lost subscribers

Had me concerned for the first 3 seconds, but then rEaDiNg cOmPrEhEnSiOn kicked in. That was both hilarious and a much needed media ass-handing.

I agree it seems the media will at this point . The media has become a disaster , they are both old . That we know . 1 lies all the time , one is a pedophile , one has broken many of his companies , one wants to gut aca , and ssi . Yet all I hear about is one bad debate and Biden's age know . Hell shit happens , it isn't like trump had great debate with 39 lies . Yet we picked joe , if we lose we lose ,Yet watching fellow dems and media turn against him is crap . Peace Geoff

You all Don’t seem to realize that instead of helping you hurting and if Biden loses you will have no one to blame but yourselves.

So much disappointment in so many people I respected. It’s not helpful and it will cause chaos and republicans will

Cheer when you lose. I cannot believe all these smart people just want to give up. It’s your country not mine but it’s your democracy and mine I’m

Concerned with. Better get with it and win this thing. The handwringing is not helpful. Please stop. Who gives up like this?? More than women that’s for sure. So disappointing.

I am all in on Biden. In fact, it would be suicidal to give up the incumbency benefit.

I am doubly pissed at all the mouth breathers in the Never Trump world, who dare to lecture Dems on why they should abandon Biden and Harris. They need to sit down, shut the fuck up, and fix the Republican party.

And the pundit class? They can fuck all the way off. Biden needs to spit in their faces.

Yes, and not the least because the pundit class is always telling politicians what they think they should do, but the pundit ISN’T THE ONE WHO GETS BLAMED IF THE PRESIDENT FUCKS UP! They just blather on, comfortable in their rightness, because they won’t be blamed if someone follows their advice and the country goes to hell in a handbasket. Don’t get me started on the NYT

Yup and you all need to

Stick Together. All this hand wringing is just helping Trump and Putin. The party needs to stay stowing. Biden is running the country. It’s 100 days. Trumps MOA

For 11

Days and it’s crickets. His dementia is going fast. He will be pulled. They got a lot of Chaos coming. This chatter is not helpful.

I wasn’t under any impression you’d moved to the dump Biden camp. Even if you had, I’d still read you. I read Ben Cohen at The Banter and I don’t always agree with him either, but reading different thoughtful opinions gives me insight. This doesn’t hold true for the NYT-Post because they’re just mostly enabling fuckwits for the Orange Scumbag.

Kay-El, we are doppelgängers! I love Ben even though I disagree with him sometimes! You should also try Jeff Tiedrich “everyone is entitled to my own opinion”.

Yup he was on of the first to speak out and still on the band wagon. So disappointed in these quitters. They are handing the election to trumps or who ever is left there.

In a world where <cough> journalist <cough> Olivia Nuzzi seriously claims in a Twitter post that there was no Democratic Primary to give "legitimate" contenders JFK Jr, Marianne Williamson or Cornell Whatshisface a chance of being the nominee, all of these scenarios make perfect fucking sense...

They're just pissed that Big Gretch, or Josh Shapiro weren't in the primary, because they are all certain that they would have crushed Biden.

Jesus t

itty-fucking Christ they love to say how they are clear eyed realists, but then they have their fucking rose tinted goggles on their preferred candidates.

Goddamn it, my blood pressure is spiking...

Don't get me fucking started on Olivia Nuzzi. She is one of the poster children that the Never Trump cohort hoists up as guiding lights. Her, James Carville, Ruy Texiera, and others are sacks of shit who at one time had a good point, but their sell-by date is long gone.

(privately, I think that many of the NT cohort really want Trump to win in the fall so that they can continue their grift, since they can't get hired by any of the usual Right Wing media outlets)

We the voters who did and will vote for Biden-Harris team again need to just tune out the compromised msm, they're doing what their natural inclination is and what their orders are.

We need to shout out loudest how several states have successfully gathered more than enough signatures on ballot initiatives. The success of President's infrastructure act, negotiation of affordable prescription. Equally important the child credit that was successful and hence killed by rethugs.

Their loss! Reading headlines and not the article itself is, in my thinking, not too smart. In fact, it’s pretty ridiculous.

Kay-El's avatar

I’ve seen too many people say “why should I read the article when I can tell what it says by the headline” WTF?

When I was working I got people to read my emails using funny subject lines that they knew couldn’t be the real subject matter. Worked like a charm.

Yes. You and Greg O said it: NYT and douche pundits should just back the fuck off and let’s elect the guy who won all the primaries and has done a whopping good job so far. OK? Less drama.

Honestly, I think we should have a discussion about how Bill Kristol and Mona Charen are too old to be pundits. They are beyond the curve so to speak into blathering bullshit-land
