Today a quality poll came out showing Biden up 4 points. According to Simon Rosenberg, 7! polls in the last week show him tied or ahead. Yet far more than "8 columnists" and talking heads bloviated about Biden losing based on 1 suspect poll. This is clearly biased coverage.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseThis is absurd. One poll that's clearly an outlier...when overall there's been a huge discrepancy between polls and actual election results, which have strongly favored Dems. Yet to the pundit class it's reality, set in stone: Trump's winning! B.S. confirmation bias.10:10 PM - Nov 06, 2023![Washington Post Opinion headline: Eight columnists discuss: How in the world is Trump winning?]()

It used to be Democrats versus Republicans, liberals versus conservatives, left versus right.
That is over.
It is now democracy versus authoritarianism.
The 2024 election is fast approaching. Know the stakes.

So whiIe FBI agents quickly arrested Jack Texeira in Massschusetts from the Air National Guard for his role in leaking classified documents, it makes you wonder why a Florida man in Palm Beach still hasn’t been charged and taken into custody for his role in stolen classified documents.

Sowing racism, homophobia, and transphobia creates life-or-death dangers for many Americans.
But for MAGA Republicans, it serves to divert attention from the economic plunder by the ultra-rich.
They want people to fear one another rather than unite against authoritarianism.

Important reminder of Trump's dangerous criminal behavior: "Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine looks a lot like a way to achieve the plan it suggested in 2016 but, thanks to a different president in the U.S., that invasion did not yield the results Russian president Vladimir Putin expected."
