I do believe that this counts as a declaration of war.

Amen to that.

Or, at the very least, indifference to same.

I certainly wouldn't. What good is a worker's party if it isn't for all workers? Saying that you're not going to take a stance on social issues is tantamount to saying that you're ok with some people losing rights, or being relegated to nth class citizens, where n is some number greater than 1. This isn't just idle speculation, either. These things are happening right now at an alarming rate. Refusing to take a stand on it because you want to have a broad coalition of people who stand for nothing is pure cowardice.

America's most wanted: a list of notorious criminals, including rapists, murderers, and one guy who threw some rocks at a police car this one time.

"Ok, so we lied about every single aspect of this case, and repeated those lies continuously for 2 months to keep an innocent man in a foreign torture prison... but we have evidence now that he gave some people a ride in his car! A RIDE in his CAR! Can you believe that?? No, seriously, please believe that. He's a bad guy, you guys. Honest!*"

This kills the human.

If this feud continues, one of them might actually reveal something the rest of us don't already know.

The timing sucked, you're right about that. But they weren't wrong to pressure Biden to not run again. Biden had zero business running again. The man was 81 years old, and very much in cognitive decline. The only reason he got as far as he did in the process was because of wishful thinking on everybody's part. At that point, it was a bit of a Sophie's choice; they could either throw their weight behind him, hoping beyond hope that he could just nudge that campaign over the finish line, or they could convince him to step aside in favor of someone eminently better fit for it, which meant throwing away the results of the primary.

Convincing him to step down was the right choice. I don't know if you're just misremembering things or what, but the polling was not good for Biden around that point. Trump looked like a shoe-in. While he wasn't guaranteed to lose, he definitely had a worse chance of winning than Harris did. Here's the national polling chart from that time; Biden dropped out July 21st. Do you see how the blue line went up and the red line went down after that?

Trump won, and that really fucking sucks. But saying that the Democrats fucked up and that Biden would have won is just pure fantasy. I get it; I don't want this piece of shit to be president either, and it makes me furious every day that he is. In situations like this, it's natural to want to throw some blame around. But blaming the Democrats for making the right choice just ain't it.

Kind of hilarious that she left the party because they convinced Biden to not run. That was the one fucking thing Democrats did right. It just took them a long time to get past his hubris.

Man, it pains me to agree with JD Vance on anything, but we really do have the lamest opposition party. All they're good for is performative bullshit like this. We've got Gestapo black bagging people on the street and dragging them off to foreign torture prisons, and the best the Dems can do is mock Trump for wavering on tariffs. It's truly fucking pathetic.

Same planes, but I'm guessing that they could confirm by satellite that at least 12 of them are wrecked beyond repair.
