How can they forget when that's all they're gonna hear for the next four months!?

But, Biden probably agrees with you ... I remember him saying all the time that voters don't pay attention until after Labour Day. But, just to be on the safe side, he really should start yesterday.

I would agree if only the electorate could remember stuff for months rather than days. No point in saying things now that will be long forgotten come November. Right after Labor Day is when folks start paying attention — we politics junkies make up, what, maybe a couple percent of the electorate.

***UPDATE***

States with reproductive (abortion) rights initiatives CONFIRMED for November are:

Nevada
Colorado
South Dakota
Florida
New York
Maryland

States that have SUBMITTED signatures to get on the ballot in November are:

Arizona
Montana
Nebraska
Missouri
Arkansas

That’s ELEVEN states. Add the seven states that have already done this and that’s 36% off the states whose citizens have/are rising up against the Christofacists.

It may not matter in some of the ruby red states but turnout drivers are nothing but good news for the Dems.

As for Joe keeping his powder dry ... that may be wise in normal times but he needs to get going on the use of his strong cards ... now and often, especially as Trump is gearing up again with his schtick.

Recall Joe’s political skill in passing transformative legislation in the face of Republican and Manchinema obstructionism — the guy knows what he’s doing!

But, if the electorate had rejected Reaganomics, then one would have thought that Democrats in control of the House and Senate and WH for four consecutive years wouldn't be such a rarity, no?

Death to the bed wetters!

Four, if Alito and Thomas are NOT impeached or (more likely) persuaded to retire. If this can be accomplished then Joe appointing two replacements would make it a 5-4 Liberal majority.

Polls have shown little movement outside of the margin of error. Besides, polls have been awful yet the Dems have performed well in the only poll that matters, votes.

What would be the minimum number of SCOTUS seats that Biden would have to add in order for the highest court in the land to serve America adequately?

I don't use the 'maga' prefix on my favourite phrase because the economic failure goes back at least to the Reagan and Stockton era.

What if Biden is forced out and Trump wins? Or, is that not worthy of consideration?

It seems to me that the only way to beat Trump now is through a united Democratic front that makes this election about the two things that should matter most and that will be hugely impacted by the outcome of this presidential election: women's reproductive rights and the economy. Both of which the Democrats SHOULD own but don't. Because they have not thus far made consistently strong arguments to support why Democrats should control both houses of Congress and the WH in order to protect and promote economic growth and reproductive rights.

Issues that Democrats should avoid talking about for the next 100+ days: the environment and geopolitics, for reasons that are just too sad to enumerate.

I almost hope that the effort to replace Biden succeeds and that, consequently, Trump is elected. Almost.

Because, that scenario is just what Democrats, as a party, deserve, not to mention the voters, themselves.

And, because the media will be giving itself a gigantic pat on the back once the president steps aside and their pathetic show of self-congratulation will last only until election night.

I hope you're right about one thing ... that this will be the defining (and last?) week of the Dems' self-destructive behavior at the behest of their media co-conspirators.

And, how is this for an anecdote ... I spent the day yesterday down at the pool in the back of my building, splashing around and conversing with neighbours. Of course, we got around to politics and one of them stated in an oh so matter of fact-ly way that all things will improve once Trump is elected.

Yeah, and let’s take a look at the myriad women’s complaints against Fratboy — they were swept under the rug at the time.

Alito and especially Thomas should be impeached for corruption so that’s two out of the six Conservative Justices right there

From halting the vote count to install Dubya in 2000 to Citizens United to Dobbs to Snyder (legalizing after the fact bribery) to Chevron (emasculating Federal regulatory powers) to Trump’s immunity ruling it’s clear that SCOTUS has gone rogue and is no longer serving America adequately.

Yeah, I know Joe is old school and would prefer to not pack the court. But unless Thomas and Alito are impeached or convinced to retire adding Justices appears to be the only solution that doesn’t involve Seal Team Six.

*smh*
