    Harris has run a remarkable race, one truncated by the historic route by which she became her party’s nominee. But now she must finish it in the way many longer campaigns begin: by prioritizing retail politics that win over the reluctant.

    historic route? you mean the whole country and world watching the sitting president and incumbent candidate have his brain be shit out of his nose and ears on live television? and then him throw geriatric tantrums about dropping out for weeks until their billionaire financiers pulled their funds, and her being jimmied into his place so they wouldn't run afoul to campaign finance laws?

      I have MSNBC family and the amount of denial they had over Biden until the debate was incredible. And I kept pointing it out and they'd tell me it wasn't that bad. While he's out there getting petulant and belligerent with journalists asking slightly difficult questions and the infamous "whywhywhywhywhy" moment. And they're not stupid people my mom was a teacher for Christ's sake. But they're misled and informed by media cretins exactly like this fucker here. They see him visibly deteriorating and sputtering like an old dog with hip dysplasia. And then the debate and he gets whisked away and Harris can be the savior. And my folks were talking about it and saying "wow Joe has gotten worse" gotten? He's been worse! He just finally fed to you as something more than a 19 second clip where he still has trouble with words to "deficit" but they cherry picked it

        Even Nancy Pelosi was pushing him to drop out. I don't know how anyone could ignore it with that too.

        And my folks were talking about it and saying "wow Joe has gotten worse" gotten? He's been worse!

        Gotta love the liberal ability to situate themselves firmly one one side of an issue then when it becomes unignorable they were on the wrong side of it to pretend they weren't on that side or even pretend they were on the other side of that issue the whole time.

        Also fun fact the imperialist Trilateral Commission ghoul behind the proxy "Afghanistan trap" against the Soviets Zbigniew Brzezinski's daughter is on MSNBC's Morning Joe talking to everyone's mom (or for a long time was, idk I don't watch it). She brought him on once to celebrate his "achievements." His son is also Biden's ambassador to Poland during this Ukraine proxy war (funny that)
