Both parties are so personally loyal to the current presidential nominees that they will support them no matter what they happen to do or say. In this case, both emperors have no clothes.
Trump Might Not Leave Voluntarily
•
President Trump says that he does not promise to necessarily leave the White House quietly or nonviolently even if he loses the election.
Crazy with Grief for RBG
•
Democrats say the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes it more important than ever to vote for Joe Biden. But Biden probably won’t get to replace Ginsburg as Supreme Court justice.
Back to Normal
•
One of the more persuasive arguments in favor of supporting Joe Biden is that things would go back to normal after Donald Trump leaves office. For those of us who remember what normal was, and is, that’s not necessarily appealing.
Unequal Justice under the Law and Politics
•
When Joe Biden gets criticized for voting for the war against Iraq, his defenders say that he wasn’t alone, that he had help from the Republicans. That, of course, is true. But it would never be an excuse for you or me.
The Path to Glory
•
Center-right Democrats who support Joe Biden are telling left-leaning Democratic progressives that they should stop being “purity ponies” and support Joe Biden even though his politics are very different from theirs.
Climate Change Is Pass Fail
•
Although Joe Biden’s website hat-tips the Green New Deal, he is opposed to it. Instead, he wants to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The problem is, scientists project the end of human civilization by 2050. So it’s a moot point. The environment is pass-fail. Incrementalism is doomed.
A Joe Biden Empathy Tour We Could All Get behind
•
Joe Biden scores big points for appearing to be empathetic with victims of tragedy. Considering all the tragic wars to which he contributed, perhaps he should go on an empathy tour of the over 1 million survivors of the people he helped kill in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Commie Hell of Godless Bidenism
•
The Trump campaign is framing Joe Biden as a radical socialist. As if!
First Elect Obama, Then Move Left!
•
Some liberals see politics like football, in which moving the ball closer to the goal means you are winning. Thus they are encouraging progressives to vote for Joe Biden, arguing that Biden’s centrism would be an improvement over Trump. Biden, they say, can be pressured more easily from the left than Trump. But that’ds not at all what happened when Biden’s boss was president.
