    He is doing the exact annoying thing Ben Shapiro does where he packages one neutral statement saying nothing and one line of dishonest spin and one red herring into three declaratives, so his faction can more easily feign that their preferred narrative is the objective reality, and that they are unbothered by what is clearly shaking their faith.

      The day the NYT created this page - Which Democrats Have Called for Biden to Drop Out of the Race? - Bluesky libs had great fun with it. They really did. They said stuff like “It’s only six reps. And FIVE journalists are keeping score! That’s almost one journalist per rep!”

      But their laughter quickly fell away.

      Right now the page shows 17 reps and 1 senator. And the libs can still laugh at us and laugh at the public and laugh about Biden’s “flubs” and they can rage at the media. But they know in their heart of hearts Biden is one bad day away from that those stats jumping up high which means he’s going to lose the nomination. I post a screen grab when the numbers go up. If he is forced to drop out - I’m going to enjoy saying “I toldja so.” And if he survives beyond the convention and then has his bad day(s) and he’s doomed - I’ll still be able to say it.
