It will be added to the litmus test for second place Democratic nominees.

Just fyi, the last constitutional amendment took the longest to ratify, almost 203 years. The one before that took the shortest time, 100 days.
These two posts make me want to find a way to get on the stage in a primary debate with like 10 Dem candidates to tell them to the faces what a bunch of losers and morons they are for rolling over to the GOP on everything.
Then turn to the camera. You want better healthcare? You want a liberal Supreme Court? Then stop voting for milquetoast losers. Mic drop. Walk off stage.
Not in this climate but never say never. Rs might screw the pooch so bad and somehow not rig elections enough that a big blue wave happens. Also after our bloody civil war II there might be more bipartisan spirit.

Gonna be hard to nail her for sexual harassment. Maybe thereās some other dirt.
Just to be clear, they arenāt stealing the seat. Moscowās rule isnāt actually a rule, itās just some thing he made up, so heād be breaking a (non) rule that never existed. Tough to call that stealing. The thing that all of us can ādoā is stop voting for Hillaries and Joe Bidens but weāve been saying this forever. Might not matter anymore.

I doubt if 10% of unstuck voted for Hillary or Biden in the primary.
Will the nationās most shamelessly corrupt politician abandon his previous statements in order to amass more power? I have no fucking idea! Itās like a grand epistemological mystery, itās like a paradox of the unstoppable force of McConnellās ambitions vs.the immovable object of McConnellās integrity. Which will yield first? Only our best philosophers will be able to figure this shit out, Iām just an enormously well-compensated CNN analyst, I couldnāt possibly give you an answer, Iām just going to pose the question and quietly walk away.

i mean this. they made up a rule we knew was a lie and then they ignore that made up rule that we knew was a lie because, well, itās a lie.
Moscow isnāt doing anything other than what heās suppose to do. heās evil. heās doing his part in being evil. We suck at our part.
As said here, all democratic candidates need to guarantee that theyāll pack the court, gerrymander the shit out of every state. Mandatory cognitive testing for every person over 60 who wants to vote, done in one facility 3.5 hours drive into the woods. Put all polling station in predominantly black neighborhoods. You know, do your job.

All of us as in many millions of us. I want to show Claire McNuggets the guillotine just as much as anyone. These people shouldnāt be on TV they should be getting smashed over the head with one WWE style.
They stole Garlandās seat really. This should be theirs and that should have been ours.

I took it as Calizza being subtly sarcastic, but also amplifying Rs earlier messages on confirming a justice before an election.
We all know Rs are hypocrites - but itās possible some of the lower info voters might actually not be aware. While I donāt think it will shame them in any way, I do think thereās still value in constantly amplifying their statements and base hypocrisy.
I mean if Graham flip flops the ad is the easiest ever. Twice he said I wonāt do this and if I do hold it against me. If he does it, heās gotta run against his own words.
Talking heads on CNN pointing out hypocrisy donāt matter to undecided or center-right voters. Him literally saying hold this against me and doing it might. Might.
They didnāt steal it though. They just violated norms. Stealing it would be like if he was guaranteed by law to get confirmed and they refused to confirm anyway. What theyāve made clear is that we have a winner-take-all system with tyranny of the majority in the Senate for SC appointments. The only problem is they donāt have the numbersāwe do.
So when things flip, the only strategy that isnāt pure Mickey Mouse league is responding in kind and taking everything by mob rule, and I mean everything including rubbing salt in the wound. Like churches can no longer be tax free because fuck you thatās why, theyāre gonna pay some bigly fuck you taxes and also weāre taking your guns sorry not sorry. Only problem is the blue team doesnāt have any Michael Jordans or Gary Kasparovs that are ruthless enough to play the winning strategy.

mfāing this.
i would double the pay of all military personal to be on the safe side and then go conservatie hunting.
The good news it that 90% of the people posting here are affluent white males. So we will be okay.
But seriously, at this point, just folding and leaving seems like the easiest solution.
Even though Iām part of the 10%, Iām old enough not to survive the reeducation camps. So thatās good.
I agree with almost all of that. I wouldnāt fuck over churches because I donāt want to motivate their voters.
Hereās something I was just thinking about. You can choose one of the following. Which do you pick:
- Trump wins in November, but you can pick anyone you want to fill RBGās seat
- Biden wins in November, but Barrett fills RBGās seat
