Newsflash: other people exist!
For the love of God, don’t block the sidewalk for wheelchair users and people with strollers or suitcases or whatever. Some massive main character syndrome on display here.

Joe Biden will go down historically as an extremely underrated president, especially if Trump is defeated again in November

Joe Biden's underrated presidency
He's achieved a lot — with the notable exception of popularity.davidrlurie (Public Notice)
Ok, so I know Biden just resigned and all, but are you looking at the exciting stuff the GNOME design team has worked on this year?? youtube.com/live/2-hTw0bx6Sc

I know this is obvious, but I still decided to run through the following exercise. I asked OpenAI to analyze its own description of a photo. Here is what we came up with: The logical pattern of the description primarily follows a "concrete to generic" approach. Here's a breakdown of how this pattern unfolds:
1. **Concrete Details about the Main Subject**:
- The description begins with specific details about the man: his appearance and attire. (1/5)
- "The photo shows a man sitting at an outdoor café. He has short, light brown hair and is wearing a pink T-shirt with a black shoulder strap across his chest."
2. **Concrete Details about the Immediate Surroundings**:
- It then moves to the specific details of what is immediately around the man: the table and the coffee. (2/5)
this is a really nice pattern. I think this is why these descriptions sound so palatable:) And here is the picture itself! :) ! (5/5)
Politically, Biden's dropping out creates all sorts of uncertainty.
Procedurally, however, what happens how is extremely clear: The DNC will use its convention to officially designate its nominees for president and vice president, and those people will appear on the ballot in all 50 states, DC, etc.
A summary of state ballot access laws, from the officials who run the elections, is at nass.org/sites/default/files/r…
It would have been much more complicated if this had occurred after the convention.
Do Democrats have enough time to find a different path to victory?
It's actually not an unusual concept.
Until 1968, presidential candidates were always picked by party conventions.
And that process, though providing less public input, also produced some great nominees.

Until 1968, presidential candidates were picked by party conventions – a process revived by Biden’s withdrawal from race
With President Joe Biden out of the presidential race, the Democratic Party will have to find another nominee. Past methods of choosing have had their flaws, but also their successes.The Conversation
I believe we will win.
(If we all work for it.)
I believe will will win.
IF WE ALL WORK FOR IT.
