    Biden isn’t the official nominee yet. Maybe they should do something about that if they don’t want to lose?

    Oh, that’s right, they have no problem with what Biden is doing, why would they?

      I can’t wait for the post-Gaza war analysis of the site with an editor-in-chief who was a prison guard in Israel who literally lead Palestinian prisoners to their torture sessions. I wonder if a main article will actually be titled something like “The Unfortunate Necessity of War” and it will be 1,000 and 1,000s of words about how war crimes in Gaza aren’t actually war crimes, it was a good war plus atrocities and horror in the West Bank were actually no big deal.

    When will Dems start talking about holding Biden accountable for not being a candidate anyone wants to vote for rather than focusing on his opponent?

      I assume the article posits that Trump win means the left also becomes a danger to the United States because horseshow theory is a real thing that actually, definitely exists.

        That article doesn’t appear to be online yet, but from the same author:

        In the United Kingdom, where I live, a journalist for the hard-left outlet Novara, Rivkah Brown, tweeted that “the struggle for freedom is rarely bloodless and we shouldn’t apologise for it.” (She has since deleted the post, saying she responded “too quickly and in a moment of heightened emotion.”) Ellie Gomersall, the president of the National Union of Students in Scotland, apologized for reposting content justifying Hamas’s actions. Two days earlier, Gomersall had accused the British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer of being “complicit in the deaths of … trans people” for saying that “a woman is a female adult.” Got that? A politician with an essentialist view of womanhood is complicit in the deaths of innocents, but a terrorist indiscriminately murdering people at a music festival must be understood in context.

        and she later criticizes intersectional politics with

        It’s also how you end up with candidates for Labour Party leadership signing a pledge that insists there “is no material conflict between trans rights and women’s rights,” even when—as in the eligibility rules for women’s sports—some wins for one group plainly come at the expense of the other.

    If Trump wins, another four years of these elder statesmen clucking their tongues and stroking their beards, asking “what’s to be done about this Donald Trump?”

    kinda sad that the Atlantic and National Interest are the only major print publications that aren’t trying to make their magazine look like a discount daily mail.
