HCR you made it into the NY Times morning newsletter! David Leonhardt quoted you directly!! Here it is:
At other moments, though, Biden conveyed his ideas clearly. “Biden made the debate about the country and the American people, not about Trump,” the historian Heather Cox Richardson wrote in her newsletter. “While Trump listed his own grievances, Biden spoke to the camera, asking Americans what they needed, what they think.” He behaved as many previous presidential candidates, of both parties, have during debates.
This is not just an important acknowledgement of your excellence--it acknowledges the importance of historians in presenting a rational analysis based on facts and data. I'm kind of ecstatic!
Heather insists on living in this pretend reality where Biden is a good candidate. She is not excellent. She regurgitates the news with no interesting opinions. You may as well watch MSNBC because there is nothing that she says that you can't see there.
Actually, HCR often provides historical context and connect-the-dots analysis not available on MSNBC or elsewhere. Your statement that “Heather insists on living in the pretend reality where Biden is a good candidate.” misstates her position. I think the more likely reality is that Heather thinks Biden is the better candidate. I can’t imagine many Biden supporters think Joe is the best candidate, but between Biden and Trump, Biden is clearly the better candidate/man to have his hands on the nuclear levers.
I continue to be struck by the narrow-minded, vitriolic, name-calling replies that follow every post by someone of a contrary opinion.
She literally praised Biden's plans as well-thought out.
As for the narrow minded replies, it doesn't surprise me. I've seen those all year long from the Vote Blue No Matter Who voters who brought us Biden in the first place.
I’m curious about your grounds for “never” Biden. In this race, “never” Biden implies that unless you intend to throw away your vote, you believe Trump is the better choice and you will vote for him. Please explain you rationale.
First of all, nobody throws away their vote. Their vote is their own to do with as they please. If they choose to vote for a third party, it is the fault of the major party candidates for not giving them a reason to support them, not the fault of the voter. So you bitter Hillary voters can take your Jill Stein hatred and blame her for not being a better candidate and not addressing her voter's concerns.
Secondly, unless you live in a competitive state, your individual vote for President doesn't matter a whole lot. Whether I vote for President or not, Biden will win my state easily. This is why I want the Electoral College abolished. I'm tired of my vote for President being less important than an Ohio or Pennsylvania vote.
No Joe, I am curious about your stance. Is it simply that you would prefer another Democratic candidate than Biden and, if so, whom? Or is it that you would vote for the Donald no matter who the Democrats selected? I am not being facetious, but this would help all of us to put your comments into perspective.
Yes. I would have preferred any of them to Biden. Even Klobuchar because at least she has the intellectual honesty not to pretend that she is something she isn't. She would never pretend she is for green energy or Medicare For All and even though those are things that I consider important, I consider honesty more important.
Biden has lied so many times over his career that it's hard to keep track of them all. But here's a compilation of several of the best.
Thank you foe your reply. It provides a context which makes your objections quite rational and not deserving of some of the inane responses you received. I too would have preferred someone other than Biden, but not among the options that were offered.

HCR is soooooooo much better than the NY Times! The Times should celebrate whenever HCR quotes them! Thank You Professor Heather.
Someone may have already noted, but let's not forget HCR's brilliantly prescient comment from a day or so ago, "..a cornered rat will bite."
Saw that too! Well deserved.

Incel alert...
No one is interested in your bullshit.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you're so funny!! and ill informed.

And your reasons for being “never” Biden are...?
Oh, looky here, a troll / bot in the Substack feed. We need a "block" function.
God forbid that this echo chamber ever deviate from the cult of personality you've got going here

Stay with Hannity and be happy.
That's a real deep comment
