Fucking completely miss me with this suggestion that my “far left” ass didn’t put in the work on this. I was out there SCREAMING at people about RBG’s age in 2015 and 2016 (and critically, 2014) and I voted for Hillary. So step off.

Obama just rolled over when he nominated Garland. Democrats let McConnell get away with not seating Garland. There was no big fight or little fight. 2 seats right there.
Just told a lawyer buddy of mine the other day that I’ll never forgive RBG. I mean pancreatic cancer?!?? Or Obama for not putting Garland on the court and letting the GOP lose their minds.
Would’ve been challenged, may have only kept Garland on for 2 years if at all, but we’ll never know. Because Obama rolled over and showed McConnell his belly, just like he did by keeping silent about Russian election interference.
I get it. But I’m suggesting that the Senate refused to do the “advise” part so appoint the guy and make them do the jobs. That’s child’s play compared to what’s happening now. First they came for the norms. Then they came for the laws no one cares about. Then they came for the Constitution.
Here's how to get rid of MAGA...Democrats should team up with never trumpers Republicans like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger in red states and help them get elected. Purge the republican party by helping to elect actual republicans.
Why should democrats help republicans get elected? Just because Liz Cheney did the right thing on one issue, it doesn’t mean she is good for the American people or that she belongs in government work.
I fully agree with you...but we know Dems are not going to win in most RED states...working to get rid of MAGA could just save our democracy....if that means working in those RED states to end MAGA...I'm willing to help.
Not forgetting at all ... Not saying we elect Liz....but we elect Reps who don't belong to Donald... Who believe in the people's rights ... Who believe in the rule of law ... Who honors our constitution... I'm a through and through Dem...we have to do something that's going to work
I don’t think Dems should concede in currently GOP areas. I lived in San Diego when it was GOP’s CA HQ. Susan Davis’s defeat of Brian Bilbray signaled the beginning of blue shift, anchored by UCSD students & biotech workers. AZ & NV used to be red but are now purple. Dems need to learn from this.
Tricky Dick beat 2 progs, packed scotus and led to this shit. Dems won't run a prog, so they run Clinton, Obama(mid 80's mod rep). I voted for HER and Biden.
I hate posts telling me HER told you so. BS Johnson told us AUH2O did proof. I used to speed thru on my m'cycle AUH2O girls rich suburb.
The idea that 2016 somehow still matters…. Trump LOST 2020 and came back STRONGER. He won by larger margins than 2016 across the board. Everyone capitulated after he LOST. He’s honestly stronger now than I think he would have been had he won re-election in 2020. Agree with Elie. Step off.
The court was lost thanks to 2016. The original posts were about the court. But granted, the Trump courts, and a newly empowered lawless right created a lot of headwinds for law-abiders to fight against in future elections.
I’ve been saying for a long time that RBG convinced herself that she was to important to step down and be replaced by a Democratic President. She was a legendary Justice but there is no doubt that she stayed too long.
The only cult on the left are these weird fucking Hillary superfans. Berniebro is projection.
They can look and see people worshipping Trump for something he's not, but damned if they'll admit maybe the woman made tactical errors, better blame everyone else.
The part that everyone conveniently ignores in these discussions is that virtually all of the left voted for Hillary/biden. Dunno the numbers on Kamala but a lot of normie dems thinks the “Bernie bros” sat out the elections and they just didn’t
So you're not going to actually say what "numbers" of Berners went for Clinton in your bold assertion, have given no source, and instead criticized the phrasing question? Sounds about right.
No one just thinks that sort of thing. They're told it. If they ever discuss public affairs on social media, they see it all the time from the Clinton cult/KHive types.

Stein got more votes than she ever had before, leading to several swing states flipping to Trump.
So while you are one of the pragmatic voters out there, many were not.
I'm talking about 2016.
In 2024, there was very little push online from Russia for Stein and third party votes were way down.
This time it was the LW non-voters who voted in '20 but sat home in November who did us in.
Only chance we had was in 2022, and we took it, got Brown Jackson on the court.
Would’ve been challenged, may have only kept Garland on for 2 years if at all, but we’ll never know. Because Obama rolled over and showed McConnell his belly, just like he did by keeping silent about Russian election interference.
