The narrative played heavily into that imo, I won't change my mind on it either. I feel the same about BidenYou mean the primary voters that elected her as the party candidate?

This is literally the catch 22 almost every backsliding democracy ends up facing. Their opposition is radical, willing to break the rules, the government, and typically has an ingrained and powerful backing that has an almost religious like core of followers devoted to the cause and a more moderate wing eventually willing to bend to them and make common cause. Then contrasted with a opposition that refuses to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and plays by the old rules, and the result is they get destroyed, and when a modest reaction happens, the illiberal party uses that as further justification to stranglehold their power.
Why Would Joe Biden Do This? /s
I am feeling the Bern right now
So the Republicans can retaliate and stack the court themselves when they get the chance? Smart, real smart.
If you protest voted for Jill Stein, the blood is on your hands.
well as long as you wont change your mind on it i guess that means youre rightThe narrative played heavily into that imo, I won't change my mind on it either. I feel the same about Biden
You're shocked that a bunch of white conservatives voted to make life worse for minorities?Call me super naïve, but I'm legit shocked they went through with it.
Hopefully this begins in earnest the conversation that began in the last Dem primary (driven mostly by, yeah I'm about to say it, Pete Buttigieg)...
This needs to signal the end of the Supreme Court.
I might not ever see it in my lifetime (likely). But this needs to be the moment that the concept of the Supreme Court goes down in history as inherently unhealthy and antithetical to the concept of a functioning democracy.

I voted for Hillary. I just don't think she was the right candidate then or now. Feel the same about Biden, he is out of touch.well as long as you wont change your mind on it i guess that means youre right
congrats abortion is now illegal in many states

Posting changes nothing, I've marched. Have you?Congrtuatlions you have posted more about Dems then about the monsters attempting to take away women's rights.
Remember this before withholding votes in upcoming elections because Biden won't unilaterally cancel all student loans.
You are super naïve, the writing was on the wall.Call me super naïve, but I'm legit shocked they went through with it.
That's a better situation than now. Now despite presidential elections swinging its very likely I will never breath air with a liberal Supreme Court, from birth to death. At least stacking the court would do away with pretense and give some control for a few years. Blow it up. You know if liberals ever got the court the conservatives wouldn't wait an instant.the Republicans can retaliate and stack the court themselves when they get the chance? Smart, real smart.
Ha, would be nice to get something out of thisHopefully this begins in earnest the conversation that began in the last Dem primary (driven mostly by, yeah I'm about to say it, Pete Buttigieg)...

I understand the anger, but the "Hillary is as bad as Trump" non-voters were just a vocal minority that didn't sway the election. Hillary won the popular vote, it was the electoral college that fucked us. And it's over, there's nothing we can do to change the past. The left needs to let that shit go and come together. I have a great deal of pessimism that will ever happen, but it needs to. We need to finally recognize that the right is our enemy and it isn't fucking around. It is going to take away our rights and establish a full-on Authoritarian state if no one stops it.
I just wish some of the politicians we elect could actually accept that fact and do something about it.
Call me super naïve, but I'm legit shocked they went through with it.
Did you vote in 2016 and 2020? The thing that actually truely matters?
No worries, I understand. We're all ticked off, and there's no shortage of frustration to go around.Look, my post is a post of extreme frustration of the party who when we had an open supreme court seat with Obama as president, didnt even actually freak out over it. Nothing on the level of focus and determination that the republican party would have used. But aside from that. I live in Utah, one of the reddest states. I still vote. For every race I can and try to push things in the best direction possible. I vote, I still try even knowing in my particular circumstances that in many races in my State, it is quite literally pointless. I'm not saying give up or dont vote for democrats, I still will. I just have no fucking hope or expectations of them utilizing and mobilizing even on this the most critical of issues. If ever there is a time for a party to go fucking nuclear... it's now. Federal legislation to protect abortion, stack the court, fucking everything. Go for it. Go for it now.
WI can't do anything about it. It's literally impossible for democrats to take the legislature so that law ain't getting repealed whether Evers wins or not.
Can't wait for all the limp dick electioneering from D's off the back of this. Gonna be a lot of "donate here!" and "Vote!" in the coming days.
I truly believe the USA as a country is doomed. There's simply too many flaws in the USA's democracy which enable bullshit like this.
this is solely on the hands on the GOP and folks who protest voted or abstained in 2016.
Can we not turn this into a fuck Democrat thread, please, shit isn't remotely the time or place. Fuck off.REPUBLICANS JUST GOT THEIR FUCKING UNICORN WHILE THE DEMS ARE IN POWER AND BIDEN STILL REFUSES TO CANCEL STUDENT LOAN DEBTS
VOTING IN THIS GOD DAMNED COUNTRY IS SUCH A FUCKING JOKE
And those Republicans will go out to vote for their candidates no matter what. It's not a joke for them.REPUBLICANS JUST GOT THEIR FUCKING UNICORN WHILE THE DEMS ARE IN POWER AND BIDEN STILL REFUSES TO CANCEL STUDENT LOAN DEBTS
VOTING IN THIS GOD DAMNED COUNTRY IS SUCH A FUCKING JOKE
Because Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are preventing the Dems from ending the filibuster. That's whyI never understand how republicans can pass the shittiest things through and democrats just always sit on their hands. This is more from emotion talking but why cant they nuke the filibuster, pack the courts and force things through? Republicans always do it and democrats are just like doing nothing per usual.
