clearly the American people must decide at the ballot box - again - though of course he's allowed to try to ignore that - again - and if he still doesn't become president again, well, the American people just have to decide against him at the ballot box AGAIN every four years until he dies

after "it not working" I feel like their biggest disappointment with 1/6 was "no leftist counter-protesters showed up for us to murder :( and then blame it all on"

Yeah, I'm still convinced Newsom, who so obviously wants to be president, absolutely put out some feelers/polls and just decided his chances this time weren't worth the risk to his career.

On the one hand, the justices commune with the dead to find [the true meaning of the] law; on the other, the President is an unknowable entity whose motives cannot be scrutinized even by them and certainly not by us mere mortals.

Biden clearly needs to give a test case of this theory, as an official act in the national security interest of course

At least that different leadership isn't beholden to their extremists in order to maintain their position, instead of being at all open to bipartisan compromise! Then I might worry!

IMO, it all depends on how things shake out after Trump's gone/dies. Maybe it'll stay strong, but I think his cult will collapse some with him. Dems, for all their many flaws and bad polling (I'm a bit skeptic), aren't as subject to that dynamic and might even do better with Biden gone.

At this point I feel like "Republicans collapse for a while, centrist Dems become the new major right-wing party, the more left side eventually splits off" is about the ideal outcome

Frankly I am partial to the theophite view that a normal, functioning country would've at least dealt with the leader the way a functioning country should (And that they didn't nearly guarantees Trump/Republicans will run it over if they don't outright win)

(In that if that bombing wasn't justified, the US was even worse than just the nukes! But also the alternative to the nukes was not necessarily no or fewer civilian casualties!)

What's started to get to me is - look, I understand why people treat nukes as a special evil, but I feel like not reckoning with the conventional bombing getting just as destructive hurts both arguments!

I never want to hear a Brit telling me the USA's two major parties are exactly the same ever again, they've got no ground to stand on, but I guess I can understand why they're stuck thinking that.

Gavin Newsom so obviously wants to be president that I'm almost certain he must've run polls and decided it wasn't worth trying to run this time!

I feel like Texas going blue COULD be enough to scare Republicans into action, since it would immediately make the EC math a harder climb. Though at this rate they might just try to rig or overrule Texas first.

I'm "looking forward" to, if the American people do "decide at the ballot box" against him like pundits say we must, them making yet another excuse why it'd still be unfair to charge him for crimes and we simply must let him run again in 2028 and defeat him AGAIN

I do think C-3PO over-dramatizing his whole moment does at least actually fit his character, and in a better movie that wasn't constantly doing this or undercutting things it wouldn't be a sticking point for anybody.

Why can't they, just once, find a diner in one of the bigger cities that do exist in the Midwest, and pick out a random liberal? Convinced a bunch of coastal elites would melt if exposed to the hatred seemingly totally normal Midwest Dems hold in their heart for the GOP.

now convinced Alito needs to be scrutinized/investigated/reported on, not because there's any chance he'd choose to leave, but because spiking his blood pressure might be the best shot at opening a vacancy on the Court

I've seen a few anti-Trumpers just become bog-standard Dems, which I welcome, but, yeah, it doesn't seem like there's any concession that could actually win over the people who won't, so why try to make any?

And likely good for selling more electric cars! Instead of relying on dealers who at best don't understand or have economic incentives against selling, and at worst are just totally ideologically opposed to them.

I think Biden could do better and wish he was, but if he manages to win... you got me, I will enjoy the "leftist" reactions to it almost as much as the MAGA ones. Luckily they'll probably mostly stick to posting rather than joining a Second, Dumber Jan 6.

except for like the absolute middle of nowhere in a desert somewhere, I can't imagine there's really any US highway where you're allowed to do over 80? which still seems maybe overly generous; no reason most cars should be able to go past that.
