The former president has always considered himself to be the ultimate disrupter. But this time, the disruption is on the other side.

The former president has always considered himself to be the ultimate disrupter. But this time, the disruption is on the other side.

Through the weekend, there were an awful lot of questions that were going back and forth from people in the president’s tightest circle, and one of the questions that kept being asked was whether Joe Biden was going to endorse Kamala Harris or not. And the question didn’t revolve around whether he wanted to or not, but whether people in her camp thought it would be better for her to fight for it, win it on her own, and not be seen as somebody who was tapped by President Biden and so, in her own way, have a fresh start going into the campaign.

So the timing seems to be about as good as it could have been to end what has just been one of the craziest two or three weeks in American politics in quite some time.

    here’s hoping for a progressive campaign which speaks to people.

    there is a very real possibility that it may actually look progressive-ish. a victory and subsequent appointments will tell us alot, but I have a minutiae minutia of hope for something tangibly better than the mean average the past 40 years has given us.

      I mean this all friendly and not as a ‘gotcha’: the singular form of minutiae is minutia.
