    Dems not fighting for Obama’s SC pick is going to be one of those things like Gore not challenging the Florida vote results…

    But apparently it was worth it because it got some more votes for the least popular presidential candidate against the worst president.

    Just didn’t get enough, so we all got double fucked.

        Republicans fill their SC seats with literal religious cult members…

        And Dems suggest people who are actually impartial…

        Like, what result besides the current state of the supreme did anyone expect that would lead to?

        For decades now the party hasn’t been doing enough, and they still don’t seem to realize it.

        You can’t fight extremism with moderate action. It’ll always be 2 steps back and 1 step forward. It’s fucking insane to continue and let moderates fight extremists when it’s clearly not working.

          Not even impartial. Dems hire conservatives because they’re so fucking scared of being perceived as “political”. Alienate the people on your side to reach across the aisle so you can get your hand slapped.

          What I wouldn’t give for a progressive party that plays to win.

      They’re not clowns; they’re being highly effective at exactly what they intend to achieve: maximizing opportunity for racist gerrymanders to enable Republicans to win elections.

    the supreme court is illegitimate and needs to be dissolved. any member of the court who took so much as a stick of gum from anyone who has any relationship to an entity that had business before the court needs to be disbarred and jailed. look how stupid they think you are.
