Obamacare also came down to the Supreme Court in the end, with that big 2012 case where Roberts broke ranks to save it.


Well, there were many aspects of the case to rule on. Is the mandate constitutional in terms of forcing commerce others to engage in commerce? Is it a tax? Are the states being coerced into expanding medicaid? To be frank, the Roberts logic was pretty tortured if you read up on the opinion.

If you read up on the wish list for Dems, I don't think you really need the permission of the courts. Raising minimum wage? Done before many times. Admitting more states? Done many times. A public option? We already have Medicare. Green infrastructure? That's fine too. Raising taxes? Easily constitutional.

I could see there being snags regarding voting rights and racial justice, but packing the Courts in an attempt to get EVERYTHING you want seems incredibly risky and the Dems have never been the party of risk takers.

WTF is this even. What kind of unhinged idiots are these "liberals" or "progressives"

Trump should be reelected just to pwn the fuck out of these idiots

The truth always comes out. This is why most people vote for Trump.

One can find examples of this in any and all political spheres, but some only look to find it in one sphere so as to signal confirmation.

when u strip away most of the propoganda accomplishments, then make them own his gaffes, it's sad but "owning the libs" is still more than enough motivation for Trump voters to vote him back into office 100 times in a row.

they'd prob be happy to vote in Don Jr to two terms just based on how mad it makes liberals.

You can find people acting outraged on all sides, sure, however people melting down, balling up their fists & screeching at the sky is pretty exclusive to the left. Same thing with rioting, burning shit down, etc

I don't believe that to be the case. In addition, PaRD is rife with hyper partisan, shallow conceptions of politics. So many posters, including many regulars, measure the importance of their politics by how much it "owns the libs" for example.

Karen melting down over a mask is funny. Rioting is not funny unless the rioters or peaceful protesting bread seekers get cold case of karma on video

There are Karen’s on both sides of the aisle, that’s for sure. However I’m specifically alluding to political meltdowns in the form of literal screeching, haha. I only see one side doing that. Both sides do it [meltdown] though. If Trump wins, we’ll have more videos of purple-haired Zi’s screeching, saying America is screwed, we need to resist. if Biden wins we’ll have videos of guys on the right saying America is screwed, we need to buy ammo.
