In early November, when polls showed Biden trailing Trump in five of six swing states, NBC News repeated the conventional wisdom that too many primary filing deadlines had passed.
Vox reports that MAGA zealots’ threats of violence against elected officials and their families have silenced any intraparty dissent and likely saved Trump from impeachment.
Biden is working to stoke fear, too, not from himself — he’s a more formidable political player than he gets credit for, but he’s not planning to sentence any of his rivals to death, as Trump has openly fantasized.
“Biden, for all his flaws, represents a compromise between the activist left of the party and its moderate center,” writes Washington Post columnist Ruy Teixeira.
Still, those I’ve observed — Shirley Chisholm, Liddy Dole, Hillary Clinton, and the unabashedly left-wing New Ager Marianne Williamson — have not apparently confused qualification with irreplaceability.
With third-party candidates Cornel West, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and, potentially, Joe Manchin in the mix, we need another Environmental Protection Act to rid the election of these billowing emissions of toxic masculinity.

Nice bit of bothsidesism there.
Yeah, a two party system sucks balls and is stupid. U right.
What are you doing to change it?
…cheering on yanks? I’m Scandinavian. We have a different problem. We’ve got plenty of parties, two of the biggest being neo-liberal (same as your democrats and republicans, no matter how much republicans want to ignore their own economic model), the next to the ones are literal nationalist bating pseudo-liberals (maybe that’s more like the republicans actually), and then we got a whole host of left wing and socialist parties that have to form coalitions all the time.
Personally I’ve voted The Pirate Party (yarr) and also socialist… because fuck capitalism. We actually have some socialist representatives on both local and national level. So even if the two biggest parties are liberals, we still get some concessions and projects done.
Woo! Freedom of choice. Actual representative democracy. Weird, I know.
While I feel like the headline is also true, I know that no other people are anywhere near popular enough to win in the current system. Maybe I’m a moron, but I feel like if Gavin Newsom or someone else had the polling, Biden would love to step aside.
Our system, and especially how Trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the room, how are the next generation supposed to get noticed and popular? Many many Republicans are certainly trying.
