Just imagine where we would be right now if instead of The Great Pants-Shitting we had THIS instead:

Just imagine if THIS had happened, as it should have, instead of The Great Pants-Shitting over one frigging debate.

* After the debate EVERYONE said what Gavin Newsom said and NOTHING else: "Joe Biden won this debate on SUBSTANCE but not on style. He was obviously under the weather, but he did address the questions whereas Trump just stood there and riffed out lie, after lie, after lie. But remember, at the end of the day people don't vote on debates. They vote on GOVERNANCE, and Joe Biden has done a MASTERCLASS of GOVERNING as president."

* If over these last weeks EVERYONE out there said: "Look at how great Joe is doing in his rallies with enthusiastic crowds. Look at the press conference which was yet another MASTERCLASS on foreign policy. Look at how he handled the Trump rally incident. Look at how he handled the NATO summit. Look at how he schooled Lester Holt. What more do you need to see?"

* If EVERYONE closed ranks and constantly spread the good news of Biden's GREAT accomplishments like Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Jaime Harrison, and Bernie Sanders are doing.

* If EVERYONE talked about how there is no FANTASY CANDIDATE out there that can suddenly fly down from on high and beat Trump in a fantasy landslide, how polls are non-predictive and mean NOTHING four months from an election, how close this was always going to be with such a polarized electorate, and how messy, divisive, and chaotic it would be to try to change candidates now, and how we would lose INCUMBENCY and PARTY UNITY keys almost certainly handing the election to Trump.

* If EVERYONE trained their negativity on TRUMP and his MAGA CULT and how ROTTEN they are instead of on our very own candidate.

* If EVERYONE said: "We had a primary. Anyone could have run. Only a few others chose to. Biden won overwhelmingly. The voters spoke. He is the nominee."

* If EVERYONE said: "At the end of the day it's a binary choice between Biden and Trump. And the voters will choose BIden."

Imagine if that happened. And it COULD have happened and COULD be happening right now, rather than the self-created manufactured pants-shitting that has happened over ONE debate, polls four months out (which are tied), and pressure from rich donors.

This whole insane episode is nothing but a self-inflicted pile of SHIT based on fallacies, conjecture, meaningless polls, and hysterical self-imposed pants-shitting. It is a giant display of COWARDICE and WEAKNESS and BULLSHIT and it is simply SICKENING.
