Smallest man who ever lived

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own. The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

Oh my God. I cannot believe this Trump interview with Black journalists is real. This may be one of the worst interviews he's ever done, and that's saying something.

So unfair they went after Trump just because he committed all those crimes

Well that was an incredibly enjoyable experience

Just gonna say it again: I love Joe Biden. He saved democracy in 2020. His legislative record is the arguably the most consequential of any modern president, including my former boss. And right now there's nothing more important than defeating Donald Trump in this election. It…

The most powerful message to young men in the entire campaign

I’ve officially been at this convention too long

Good! Every state should do this

Right now you can be a person who tries to help calm things down or a person who tries to make things worse. We all have agency here.

Damn, AOC knows how to give a speech

Honestly - great interview. Kamala was sharp, tough, and gave her best answers yet to some of the thornier questions she's been asked before. Combative interviews can be good. Going on Fox can be good. You just have to be prepared (she was) and stand your ground (she did!)

Kamala’s speech flipped 6 of 8 undecided voters in a PA focus group One more reason to share it with the undecideds in your life

Well, it came pretty late, but that 2020/Jan 6 section was quite a moment!

Replace Biden as nominee: 64% all voters 55% Black voters 66% Hispanic voters 48% Biden (!) voters Biden is too old to be an effective president: 69% all voters 62% Black voters 68% Hispanic voters 55% Biden voters This is from the NYT PRE-debate poll, Trump 48-Biden 42, which was taken: - After weeks of wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's criminal conviction - Months after Biden campaigned intensely and spend tens of millions on swing state ads - At a time when 80% of voters said they were paying attention to the race Almost every other pre-debate poll found similar results. This is not an elite thing. This is not a media thing. This is not a one-bad-debate-freakout thing. The voters have been voicing these concerns for months now. Denying them or dismissing them is not the way to overcome them.

Trump wants to make sure everyone is absolutely clear that if he’s elected, he’ll treat the people who didn’t vote for him as the “enemy”

Just gonna say it again: I love Joe Biden. He saved democracy in 2020. His legislative record is the arguably the most consequential of any modern president, including my former boss. And right now there's nothing more important than defeating Donald Trump in this election. It…

Let's face it: if the election were held today, Trump probably wins Only way to stop that: persuade as many people as we can to vote for Joe Biden Yes, that's Biden's job. It's also ours - because we'll have to live with the consequences. So what can we do?

Two choices for the anti-Trump coalition: If we resign ourselves to a second Trump presidency four months before Election Day, we'll definitely get a second Trump presidency. If everyone from the Democratic nominee on down works hard to persuade undecided Americans that they're better off with us, we might not get a second Trump presidency. I think we should try.

"Get on board or get the fuck out of the way," which I'm seeing not just from random accounts but actual political professionals - is MAGA shit. That's how the GOP turned into a cult. Handwringing isn't productive when there aren't any options left. That is not the point

I think people need to decide if they're genuinely interested in finding out what went wrong in 2024 so Dems can win again, or if they're just going to reject any data or information that doesn't confirm all their political beliefs. I wish there wasn't so much nuance and uncertainty in politics - but that's the world we live in.

Biden on Morning Joe: Energy is great! Sounds strong! Love that part. Message absolutely sucks - angry, defensive, lashing out at all the wrong people. Just please, please talk about voter concerns, how you'll address them, and how Trump will make them worse. That's all!

Now we have Biden surrogates calling people racist who want an 81-year-old white guy to step aside in favor of his highly qualified VP who would be the first Black woman president. Polls also show that around half of Black voters and a clear majority of Latino voters want Biden to step aside.

Pod is up! Take a listen for our full thoughts, but... Obviously that debate was a fucking disaster. We have to beat Donald Trump. We have to have a nominee who can do that. And since we haven't had the convention yet, it would be absurd if Democrats didn't at least have

We’re really lucky to have Sarah McBride in politics right now

YES

Maybe the old guard Democratic establishment should stop throwing their weight behind candidates that voters keep saying they don’t want? Just an idea

To recap: 1) Iran’s nuclear program has only been set back a few months 2) Iran kept all their enriched uranium because Trump couldn’t shut his mouth about bombing them 3) Iran kicked out the inspectors on account of all the bombing so now they can more easily build a nuke in secret Bring on that Nobel Peace Prize!

Put whatever views you may have about Mamdani’s politics aside for a moment: When was the last time you saw a candidate campaign like this?

Sure seems like the Iranians were able to remove their highly enriched uranium out of the nuclear sites before they were hit because Trump couldn’t stop posting about how he might bomb them

Just a complete lie, every word. There haven’t been protests or unrest here for a full week - just ICE raids where they mostly round up people without a criminal record
