The vast majority of Atheists are progressive I suspect, even though I am not particularly progressive.

I know there will be champagne corks going off in Washington and Tel Aviv, but this is very sad. He was the legitimate head of state on a diplomatic mission. And the world has only Iran's restraint to thank for the fact that WWIII didn't break out after the wanton attack on its embassy last month.

His legacy is akin to pinochet, screw him.

Analysts are starting to talk about Minnesota like a battleground state. Was Biden’s primary performance a sign of things to come?

Donald Trump had a much weaker primary performance in MN than Biden did.

Trump had competition. Biden did not.

(no one took Williamson or Phillips seriously and anyone one could criticize Biden for, one could criticize Philips for as well - except for age).

Yeah, I believe Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley was still in the race at the time, outspending TRUMP 15-to-1 and still getting smoked.

Much different than the underfunded and blackballed Dean Phillips campaign.

Not sure why Biden decided to run again. Literally underperforming downballot by double digits at this moment in several states.

I think he's probably not being fully serious there. However, if he wins, as the term wears on I'm sure he will begin looking at ways he can run again or somehow stay in office anyway.

He can count on congressional Republicans to back him up if he decides to ignore the 22nd Amendment.  We know his voters are completely on board with this scheme if he goes for it.  After all, they want a King.  

It's interesting just how much influence these people put on polls.

I have no idea if Biden will win GA or not, but it's another case of every actual election since 2018 has shown GA to be moving leftward. The only thing that says it's not are polls and crosstabs (usually of black voters specifically since Biden is usually holding his own with white voters more often than not in GA polls)

Exactly. I think another fallacy is if people see a poll that shows GA blacks like 60 Biden - 10 Trump, they assume the "undecides" will ultimately break even.

The fact that Biden is holding firm with white voters in GA means he needs a big swing from voters of color to win Georgia by as much as some of these polls predict.

I think low black turnout is a much bigger threat to Biden's prospects in GA than black voters swinging noticeably to the right.

This is basically what people are expecting at this point.

Not just POC but also young whites (but Biden seems to gain a little with suburban whites or the elderly to offset those losses).

Lots of progressives staying home make a lot of sense. On some issues the Democrats aren't better than the Republicans or just do what the Republicans do.

A major drop in urban turnout hurts Biden a lot.

Agree, though with the progressives that will stay home/vote third party I think most were never Biden or Democratic voters nor are they voters that are realistic targets for Biden at this point. I've seen very few examples of progressives who actually supported/voted Biden in 2020 and now aren't voting - most of those who claim this are disproven with their social media history.

What is the practical impact of Catholic "blessings" of gay marriages, even though gay sex is sinful. It seems incoherent.
