Why is Bari Weiss, a woman married to a woman, chuckling at, "I miss a dominant masculinity?" Where exactly does she think she fits in the social hierarchy Jerry Seinfeld says he's nostalgic for?

Biden people want us to believe there's no time left to nominate someone else and plenty of time for him to turn things around. "It's only June!" when it's bad polls or a bad debate and "What are you crazy? It's June already!" when its doing something before the convention.

So WelcomePAC 🍍 actually polled Biden’s precious Democratic primary voters and … they want the convention to pick a new nominee because they prioritize electability and beating Trump (which is exactly why he won the nomination in 2020). welcomestack.org/p/f57c5ff1-a59…

This is a misread. When the focus is on Trump, he generally does worse. He won narrowly in 2016 because the last month of the election was all about Hillary's emails/Comey's letter. Then during his first term it was all-Trump, all-the-time and he lost re-election in 2020.

Caveat: one poll, honeymoon phase, subject to economic conditions yada yada. But if this bears out, it would prove that voters were just blaming incumbents for post covid inflation (not Dem overspending) and that they don’t view Harris as an incumbent.

And Republicans are very likely to flip Montana. That’s why Mandela Barnes losing the Wisconsin Senate race in 2022 (by just 1 point!) was so consequential.

If these were the exact results it would be a massive over-performance by Dems and shit-the-bed fumble by Republicans and STILL result in Republicans taking control of the chamber. 🥴
