For the love of Christ just send manchins daughter to fucking gitmo.

I actually think it’s likely manchin does approve a supreme court pick even much closer to 2022. I doubt his owners would throw much of a fit about it.

Rigging the court even more accomplishes nothing except rile up libs

Hed approve a replacement now hed approve a replacement next year if Breyer retires. He isn’t going to do something like on Breyer is going to retire in two years but we will pick his replacement now by 50 votes and VP tiebreak

One caveat is that If a Breyer replacement has to be blessed by manchin it will still likely move the court right

2988

This doesn’t feel right to me. I dont think fascists ever get to the point where they say “You know what? I’ve done enough fascism and consolidated enough power.”

Looks like you forgot to post the Manchin tweet about wanting all of this paid for and a CBO score. I’m sure with his demand for fiscal responsibility that tweet exists, right?

Gerrymandering isn’t an existential problem this cycle. The 2022 map is going to be less R favorable than the 2012 map.

2994

I believe the maps will be set for the next decade. You won’t be able to change them after afaik.

Also sounds like you’re talking about the senate map… which gerrymandering has nothing to do with.

2995

the R constitutional convention will be an amazing to witness at least

2996

This is true. They are going to lose the House and Senate without gerrymandering. The existential threat is they never are going to win them back and several states are going out of play for the presidential race permanently.

The cool kid answer is “Google Reader. You invented Google Reader.”

The actual answer is “They invented Google Reader again! Google m-f-ing Reader! Except they somehow convinced a critical mass of people that it was somehow like financial newsletters?! So now all these content creators can get paid on some basis other than selling ads through superficial outrage-based engagement!”

What are you talking about? Republican-led states are gerrymandering all over the place.

Ohio is was a 53-45 state in 2020 and is drawing the map so that it has a 12-3 advantage in house seats.

But it’s already 12-4.

Right.

But just because the status quo is bad, doesn’t mean that a continuation of that doesn’t represent an existential problem.

To add to this, the Ohio map would be like if Colorado’s new map was 7-1 Democrat, or if Virginia’s new map was 9-2 Democrat.

Spoiler alert: They aren’t, even though both Colorado and Virginia went harder for Biden than Ohio did for Trump.

90% of tech innovation is remaking things that previously failed, but with an app and some dystopian algorithm bolted on.

What I meant was, it’s possible for Ds to win nationwide despite that. Because they do.
