Twitter is losing its mind over this video. It's a... trash bin! Quelle nonsense? It's literally a wheelie bin. Does NYC not have them? What am I missing?

I had to stop listening. It was making my anxiety through the roof. I totally get it. I am generally big fans of theirs, but on this I just don't think they are helping. And I can't help but notice that 90% of people really pushing this narrative are white dudes. White dudes just shouldn't be our touchstone in this situation. Yeah I'm pretty disappointed in their stance on this issue in particular. I haven't listened to today's pod yet, but I kept thinking that they would reevaluate. It just seems like any talk of replacing Biden isn't rooted in any sort of reality. It's literally a West Wing episode.

It's also discouraging because we've made so little progress in the last 20+ years and now we're back sliding.

In my defense I was in college when it started, so I didn't watch any TV regularly, especially something with a through storyline. 🙃

And stupid question…if Biden were to opt to drop out and it’s post DNC nomination what happens to the Dem ticket for the election? Like do they get a chance to nominate someone else? It's already too late to get someone else on the ticket in several key swing states. Hence my frustration with those who want to just magically have everyone come together to pick another candidate. I was vvvvvvv puzzled by James Carville's op-ed this morning. I know he's had some wild opinions in recent years but, bro, you are paid to know how this works

It was entirely amazing and I feel a but guilty even mentioning it 😅

I know he's had some wild opinions in recent years but, bro, you are paid to know how this works I mean, theoretically there would be allowances made, but the GOP lawyers are already readying themselves to fight any changes and anything that goes to litigation pretty much means the clock will run out first. I sincerely don't understand those who still think this is an option.

To be fair I wasn't really into politics just yet (Bush v Gore changed that for me personally) so while it always seemed interesting it wasn't a necessity. And of course since then I wanted to watch, but just never seemed to have the time. Clearly I'm a masochist because I've chosen *now* to watch. And now I weep for that era.

There are still 1.4 million power outages in the Houston area. Centerpoint released an outage map that is completely wrong. Everything about this has been shady and weird. And what on earth about Biden having to hunt down Abbott? That’s punishment for Houston being a blue city.
It will feel like 106 today.

Really curious how it will continue to get politicized ahead of the election. I saw the Whataburger outage map is being used for as a proxy (accurate) outage map.
