"Trump Is Failing at Governing But Winning at Authoritarianism"

Joe Biden was on Colbert the other night (the at home format is pretty charming, including the often low rent, low romance -- some guests go all casual -- remote interviews) and came off pretty well. You get the idea why people are reassured by the guy. Colbert liked him in 2016; at least, when he came on, Colbert seemed to emotionally ask him to run. Now, Colbert does his Joe Cool shtick involving Biden. It's a bit lame. It seems maybe Colbert supported someone else. Well, I did too.

But, he's basically the nominee in all but name, even if I'll vote Warren in the NY primary on principle. It's about time to move on with the grumbling, which was acceptable. Now, it's not. He's not "just better than Trump," though serious people would realize that is enough. Latching on to a rather dubious allegation (even before more info came out to make it more so) and pretending like dropping out is even possible was stupid. Or, latching on to some gaffe "gotcha." GTFU. We need to win and win big.

The subject article provides some more details of the stakes. As if we don't have enough. Emoluments, blocking oversight, firing inspector generals, interfering in criminal investigations, "can you do me a favor, though?" And, now trying to badmouth voting by mail. Since we aren't like some third world country with knocks on the door, there is some ability to handwave. But, we should not. Move beyond the policy stuff. Judges. etc. Sigh.
