The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This is why smug stupidity is the Court's main issue, and not just that 6 of them are vicious right-wingers. "You rule your separate fiefdom, President, and we'll rule ours" cannot in any universe work out for these sniveling idiots.

I'm just some guy, but I think you're right. It's legitimately a good thing for everyone that Biden publicly committed to not abusing the office in the way the SC said was fine.

You all weren’t joking when I got back on here yesterday. People have really gone full throttle on “the camps” discourse on here, as opposed to considering the “when we fight we win” discourse and as a social movements person I am a little gagged, in the worst way.

Other good places to look for tactics: kpop fandom and other pop music fandoms are extremely good at staying on message and circulating information, plus gaming algorithms to maximize visibility. How much money would it take to rent a billboard outside your Reps house or office?

They can demonstrate the severity of the situation and do something useful beyond the perview of their jobs (just as we’re expected to do): talk to press; talk to voters; make statements at Congress; appeal directly to the president, etc

I’m mad, sorry. I deleted my last reply. But I do think justices can be more like normal pale and not depower themselves preemptively by committing to some idea that they’re above politics.

Our political ancestors responded to Dred Scott by hiring an antislavery lawyer to the presidency and simply refusing to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act, including using mob violence to reject slave hunters. I feel like we can do better.

All right. What I’m suggesting is that the law will not protect most of us. And so a written dissent in the face of threatening—I’ll say it—evil is very lame to the point of being offensive.

Beyond his obvious problems, Biden is the worst possible person to be President in this historical moment. He doesn't speak about Supreme Court corruption because he's a supposed "institutionalist," he convened a "commission" which came to nothing, he has absolutely no fire to rally the country, etc

You seem to have lawyer-brain about this. Practically, the only reason you think dissents set up a vision of justice is because you believe—without evidence—that laws must and will be followed. The right wing of this country is saying loudly and repeatedly that they don’t agree with us about that.

No one said it was their fault. But many elected Dems will take the same course as the dissenters on the bench (which is saying words, however “fiery”, and a distinct lack of meaningful action)

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

This is your reminder that the Union did not enter the war to end slavery but discovered that ending slavery was the only way to win the war. Everything that has brought us here needs to be dismantled if we want to survive. That’s not radicalism; that’s pragmatism.

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.

They use the word "commonplace gratuities" in the opinion and I'm so baffled. It's not commonplace at all to give a gratuity to a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL who used THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT to enrich you. Or at least, it wasn't until now.
