I'm still unclear on how they think anyone else will get on the ballot in the states that have already had primaries and have state supreme courts controlled by the GOP.

But, for a person with good institutionalist cred to declare, "I've seen enough, we have to change this" might be enough to get everyone else moving and motivated. SCOTUS has been the driving point for me my entire voting life, but I don't think it's most other people's. But that may have changed.

I think because deep down, he's still an institutionalist and believes in the system. And he understood the Senate situation with Manchin and Sinema made it a losing battle when he had a House that might have done something. Now, though? I think it's clear to everyone SCOTUS is broken.

Biden is the PERFECT person to go after Thomas, since he was the chair of the Judiciary Committee that put him on the seat. An interview talking about a) how wrong he was about Dr. Hill's testimony, b) dig at the kickbacks, c) question recusal and ethics, etc. It would get tons and tons of coverage.

(I also think he needs to go on Hot Ones, where, again, I think he'd be a natural, and find analogous high eyeball Youtube/TikTok feeds to literally go viral in areas Trump hasn't ever been able to penetrate.)

Right. But they need to break through the noise and hit and then hit again and hit again so the media and the American public pay attention and ask for more. This guy has been doing this his entire life and he LIKES it. That's not necessarily the case for most candidates *ahem* Hilary *ahem*.

He needs to go to a hospital to comfort a parent who just had a horrible miscarriage that could have been avoided had they been able to get an abortion. He needs to be seen being an empathetic person who absolutely loves the American people and is doing what he can to make their lives better.

Biden fucking shines when he's talking to real people about their problems. He's a born campaigner. He needs to get the hell out there and take a solar panel installation crew out to lunch. He needs to go to a small business that opened because the owner isn't saddled with student loan debt.

Anything he does they will react to negatively. Their reaction is unimportant. The campaign's communication is. And they need to abandon their "above it all" attitude toward the media and find some friends.

Now, that being said, don't go saying "so we have Nixon or Clinton to blame for this because if they'd tried and lost then we'd have direct precedent" because seriously what has given anyone the impression that this Court cares about previous SCOTUS decisions.

You aren't coming off as greedy. You're expressing normal human hurt in a period of time when you're grieving and in shock and dealing with a lot of shit. I'm glad you have a place to go to let this out, because you absolutely should not be holding this in. I'm glad your brother isn't being a dick.

In 2020, I worked a voter assistance hotline and helped dozens of people figure out registration and voting in a complicated state. It was immensely satisfying and I am signing up to do it again this cycle. It was relatively low stress, in the calls were from people who WANTED to talk to me.

Also, my sister became a voter registrar, and she registered hundreds of people to vote in the 2020 cycle. There are organized voter drives, or you can do your own! She made a point of carrying the application forms with her. She set up at a local garden center with her corgi, Chicken.

After the Court’s decision yesterday, I think there’s an argument from necessity for Biden seizing Trump and trying him by military tribunal, given the sudden unavailability of Article III courts. Plus, itʼs just the sort of thing they’ve authorized an active and energetic chief executive to do.

My dad's superpower is talking to customer service. I'm sure he's on a list somewhere at Apple, because he has penetrated all sorts of levels of management there. The call center at Duluth Trading Company trembles in fear when they see his number. He should teach seminars on this sort of thing.
