And youths are also notorious for not turning out too.

Simple tab groups in Firefox. Makes it easy, has a search bar, etc.

Invaluable when you have a ton of projects.

Almost as if you need to win before you can do anything at all.

Like it or not, the reality of the electoral college.

They don’t bother me because he’s one person and we need absolutely every Democrat we can get to enact any change.

If losing gracefully “with ideals” and going further right in reality because Republicans control things doesn’t bother you then that’s your prerogative.

Right there with you. Now…people are acting like this is over and it is very far from it but I’m at least cautiously optimistic. Here’s to hoping Kamala makes a good VP pick and runs a good campaign. Long road ahead still but yes, I’m very much relieved it hasn’t gone off the rails so far.

By god, so far I am ecstatic I was wrong. Here’s to hoping I’ll still be proven wrong all the way into November 5.

Have you noticed that Lemmy is particularly quiet since Biden dropped?

I’d say a ton are bots and trolls. Just awaiting new marching orders right now.

I mean, if people think kamala is very progressive then yes. Age and policy wise. The VP should net you votes you might not otherwise get. A Midwestern pick or similar would probably do well.

Honestlly, I’m ambivalent on the navigation bar change. It is quite tall but sometimes helpful.

As for the url bar, thank GOD they put the full URL back. I think this all “better against phishing” is BS and most users aren’t looking anyhow. If you need to at all differentiate it, but the domain in bold and let the rest of the url be in normal font. But for the love of cake don’t have ONLY the domain. I can’t even explain how frustrating that is. Please keep the full URL mozilla.

I’m with you. I’ve come to terms with it. Let’s hope whoever it is wins.

If 34 felonies, rape, insurrection, etc. Didn’t sway people Im not sure age is the thing that’ll turn them around.

I sincerely hope I’m wrong too.

Yeah a Humphrey style convention is always a good idea. /s

Maybe she had better political acumen and knew he’d do better.

Boy look at this guy with a crystal ball.

Give me the lotto numbers next.

Somehow all the progressives here marched against AOC and Bernie backing Biden.

Time to see who was right. Im damn positive it will be those who are cheering today who will be crying in November.

It’s amazing that these asshats take the time for Biden to drop out of the race but are crickets on Trump.

Almost as if they want you focusing on something other than what you should be. And if a bought man like Manchin doesn’t wake you up to that, then I’m not sure what will.

Thanks for the synopsis.

In regards to a few of your points:

• There is a reason “generic democrat” polls better in general. It’s because they’re an unknown quantity. People assume they’ll be better. Most people are not tuned in and do not know who Whitmer, Newsom, etc. are. Give it like two weeks of negative ads on them calling them socialists, etc. and boom, the polls drop. I would fully expect the polls to shift for a new candidate but LOWER, not higher. It’s much easier to inspire fear in unknown candidates rather than known ones.
• Biden is a known quantity. He cannot be decried as a “socialist” or any other thing. People know him for better or worse and that’s that.
• Elderly? The most reliable voting block in the country? Ignore them at your own peril for an unknown.

AOC makes solid points and so I take a few things differently from you and say she is precisely right in her analysis. I think if the Dems switch then we get a Humphrey/Mondale mashup where the Democrats are absolutely trounced in the general.

The time for this crap was 2 years ago, not the past month. Democrats need to find a stiff upper lip and back Biden with all their might.
