starbuck, you should think about requesting calls for service at the school's address for that day. I am sorry. That is not okay.

President Biden formally announced on Tuesday that he would seek a second term, arguing that American democracy still faces a profound threat from former President Donald J. Trump as he set up the possibility of a climactic rematch between the two next year. In a video flashing images of a mob of Trump supporters storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the president said that the “fight for our democracy” has “been the work of my first term” but is incomplete while his predecessor mounts a comeback campaign for his old office that Mr. Biden suggested would endanger fundamental rights Biden Announces Re-election Bid, Defying Trump and History nyti.ms/3V685UT

So far only 2 board members have responded to me. Both democrats. Both had never heard of the incident.
One is looking into it for me.
This raises all kinds of questions and tin foil hat theories. Like why don't the board dems know? Did the GQP-ers? Or is the whole board ignorant of the event? Who called for the gag? Was it part of the board? Was it the Principal acting alone? The fuuuuuuck

I would like to believe people will turn out and vote for him again if it's against Cheeto Fuckface. But he's way too old. And if it's someone else for the R candidate... eh. I don't think everyone has the same pumped attitude for Biden the way they had for Obama. So we may be fucked for 2025-2028. I'm not super hopeful. But also even with 4 years of a Democrat president a lot has already been fucking horrible so. I'm not hopeful for much until the teens of today are able to vote.

The fuuuuuuck Not that this is what should be happening, but the board member I met with locally last week said they know very little about what is happening day to day at the schools and he wished they were a little more in the loop. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case everywhere I hope you can get some answers because it really is unacceptable

starbuck that is awful and it's so scary that they're hiding it from parents and the community. It makes you wonder what else that you don't know. And WTF to the disgusting things Tucker said in that tweet. I know I shouldn't be shocked by anything that they say, but that is horrifying that people actually think that way.

I actually think there's quite a bit of youth voter enthusiasm still. 2020 and 2022 were watershed moments in American politics and youth turnout broke records. People don't stop voting if theyve won consistently and their future looks bleak. And this administration has actually accomplished a pretty remarkable amount against a lot of bullshit. I think switching candidates after one term would actually fracture our party which is pretty fragile as it is.

I just sighed deeply when I saw the official announcement. There’s no other option for the Dems right now. I swear to god if the GQP wins, I just cannot. My head might explode. And I know it’s a very real possibility. Gahhhhh

uh! He'd be like 86 at the end of his 2nd term! And he has a very solid VP and a cabinet filled with other potential candidates. This was the only move and I think people will be just as enthusiastic as the polls as they have been the last three majors.

I'm very wary of sowing doubt as this was always going to be the outcome unless he died in office. It's a dangerous game and he's the best card we have right now.

I'm ok with the idea that if he dies, we have MVP, and the cabinet as origami said. As morbid as that sounds.

So those of you wanting someone else, who do you all think is the obvious candidate to take his place in 2024? I'd love for it to be Kamala Harris but (infuriatingly) I don't think Dems would rally behind her at this moment in time.
The very LAST thing we need right now is a Democratic primary for President with a bunch of ugly infighting. RFK Jr is already trying to weasel his way in, no need to assist Bannon's pet spoiler candidate. And Bernie! Do you all think he would seriously sit it out? Nah, he'd be right back in there and his fans would say nary a word about his age. Like it or not, Biden is the best shot we have currently.

The Daily is about the Fox News/Tucker Carlson split today. Interesting listen.
