But Biden’s not AS unfavorably rated as Trump. Hey Yoooo!

Those corrupt motherfuckers are appealing it.

This kind of thing is why that party needs to go the way of the Whigs.

By “the whigs” you mean the party that rose to prominence because they took on Andrew Jackson, and eventually fell apart because of the Civil War? You want the NY Democratic party to go the same way?

ETA: I see the appeal is from the New York State Board of Elections, not from the NY Democratic Party. So is that Board the thing that needs to go the way of the Whigs?

Accuracy is secondary to having an opportunity to hate the Democratic party.

The way things are going, Trump isn’t even going to need to rig the election.

More on the shocking divide (who would have thought the Republicans would be more organized with technology?) in using the internet to campaign:

As with 2016, the Dem establishment’s IT efforts are laughably incompetent.

The gerontocrats who run the party do not understand IT or social media at all, and when they decide to bring in outside “expertise” they inevitably hire utterly useless grifters who got their jobs via nepotism.

Do I laugh? Do I cry? I know it’s a joke, not real, but like The Onion that line is getting more and more blurred these days.

Sanders, Biden, and Trump are all similarly unfavorable right now. I can hardly imagine why.

I noticed you didn’t mention Dukakis.

Probably because he evaded your attention.

It’s quite alright. Dukakis was such a cold fish he evaded his own attention most of the time.

One major difference between the parties is that the Republicans’ grifters are useful.

So much for Amash only taking votes from Trump.

I do read Forbes, but mainly the Games section. They’re the only part of that site really worth their salt. One of the Games columnists wrote about how Joe Biden’s campaign has been looking at virtual strategies. One of the inspirations for these virtual strategies was the Travis Scott concert in Fortnite. Biden’s not gonna be in Fortnite anytime soon, though; the concert seems to have just been highlighted as a bullet point in their strategy talk.

The kind of holographic projections they’re talking about seem like they’d be PR disasters more than anything.

Yang tried the pepper’s ghost thing on the campaign trail and it didn’t go far.
