    The whole thing is utterly unprecedented.

    You might make the claim that the ‘Grover and the mugwumps’ situation was similar, but even then, frankly not even on the same scale. And at least in that situation the differences were legitimately political (fiat vs gold vs silver vs agrarian).

      TIL there was a band called The Mugwumps. Not sure what they have to do with Glover though

        Grover and the mugwumps’

        One positive outcome of the failed Biden candidacy; being able to use the phrase “Grover and the mugwumps” unironically.

  I think it’s all pretty well orchestrated. All they are doing now is waiting to see which replacement polls better, because Harris doesn’t beat Trump, sadly.

      It won’t be, because that’s a guaranteed winner
