Are we going to construct fantasy narratives like the GOP does? I thought that was solely a GOP thing but I guess not.

Yes it is. But they’ve created an entirely different narrative to believe in.

I wish. But no. No it was his own answers to the moderator.

So you don’t want the politicians to know how you feel on the issues?

You must be fun to live with, you complain that you think something is broken but you don’t want to help fix it.

If you can’t stay on topic in a stressful situation then yeah, there might be a fucking problem. A Stutter is fine. Switching topics completely is not a stutter.

Not really it ignores NYT’s actual argument.

NYT did in fact talk about Trump in their editorial. They lamented that any sane party would consider him ineligible after his debate performance. But because we can’t have nice things, the onus is now on Biden.

All the “rebuttals” keep ignoring that.

Well then what’s your preferred method for being contacted?

I’m not going to write an entire paper on the differences between journalists and spies to satisfy an Internet stranger. Organizations like the NYT act completely differently with their sources than Assange did. They release documents only after carefully checking for information that can put people in danger, and they never do something for the sole purpose of harming a country.

We know this law doesn’t apply to journalists because they tried to use it against them during the Cold War and the courts told them it wouldn’t fly. So all this hand wringing over civil rights is just concern trolling to defend someone who made themselves an enemy of the US by working with Russian intelligence agencies to interfere in our elections.

Edit to add - if you really want to claim our civil courts didn’t have jurisdiction we could always have let the military handle it. We certainly wouldn’t be watching him go home right now though.

The time left is how long the entire campaign takes in most countries.

Good thing that’s not the sole method anymore. They do cellphones, text messages, mail, and email. Just about anything except passing a public link around for anyone to use.

Not really no.

Polls show there’s still undecided people. For example in Pennsylvania there’s 6 points unaccounted for in polling. And Biden really needs to pick up those points.

Legendary Tankies, the entire group… /s

Don’t let the optimism here fool you. Biden needs to bring on board undecided voters. And they aren’t impressed.

They’re trying to conflate anyone who isn’t in full support of Biden as a tankie. It’s more of the same from the last year that’s been used to shut down any debate or criticism.

Democratic National Committee.

WAPO too.

Did they though? He cultivated a relation with a source in exchange for intelligence.
