My conclusion is that the Harris campaign could unite the party and catch fire in a way the Biden campaign cannot and will not. But being resigned to losing is so demoralizing and pathetic I cannot stand it. I am just a ball of rage. It feels like democrats are forfeiting an election that supposedly has existential consequences to our democracy.

I am cancel subscription, comrade! Asking Sotomayor to step down is hateful and pragmatic. You Never Trumpers trigger me when you ask someone to do something pragmatic. We're Democrats....not pragmatists! Okay, pal! Where's your call for Justice Thomas to step down? Sure it would be blatantly performative and serve no purpose, but still.......

Trump is the most unpopular candidate in recent memory, and we're happy running the second most unpopular candidate in recent memory against him. What do you want us to do? Run someone popular? That's West Wing fantasy, bub. We'll get to pragmatism when all other options are exhausted. Now, the threats of cancellation will continue until morale improves.
