Maybe it's possible they would end the filibuster, but packing the court is a serious escalation. I'm highly skeptical it would happen. Sure, in this heated moment it looks possible, but things will cool down and it'll be less politically viable.

I'm not sure I've said that. He would be a president who tries to unite rather than intentionally divide like Trump, but the idea that he's going to bring Republicans to his side isn't realistic. It doesn't matter how gifted a negotiator he is... if Republicans decide they have no incentive in striking compromises, they won't do it.

Perhaps I'm being a little too pessimistic... if Republicans barely hold onto the Senate, there's a couple senators who might help Biden govern, at least in response to COVID and the economic downturn. But really we're just debating how obstructionist they will be.



A funny thing about the times we're living in is if I want to point out how ridiculous the right-wing is nowadays, I don't have to focus on minor players on Twitter. I can point to the leader of the Republican party... the guy who sits in the Oval Office. I can point to his Attorney General, his nutty trade advisor, his HHS spokesman who called his colleagues traitors, his Press Secretary troll, or his massively popular propagandists on Fox News and talk radio.

Yet, the right-wing has to nutpick mostly minor figures on the left and pretend that they represent Joe Biden, or Democrats as a whole.

It's one of those indicators that shows the only serious party left in the country is the Democratic party.

the entire (D) party including the current leader of the party (Biden) will likely be against Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination when it comes to the votes (pure partisanship) and will not condemn these slanderous attacks on her family. yet you want justices like ACB?

so you’re okay with the actions taken by Biden supporters like yourself, given you admit to voting straight-ticket (D)s no matter who the candidate is. gotcha.

Republicans WANT the Dems to attack ACB based on her religious beliefs. I legitimately think they are dumb enough to do it.

Can you give some examples of noteworthy pro-corporactocracy rulings by ACB?


do you really need me to present you with several specific and noteworthy rulings to acknowledge what literally every single evaluation by experts familiar with her judicial record said about her, and to confirm what has been an integral and openly touted part of every single one of trump's supreme court nominees? or is this just another attempt to set an arbitrary bar for someone to cross, or else you can pretend it's 'reasonable' to just dismiss the blatantly obvious and deny reality?

either way, i'm not your personal search engine, and there have been dozens of articles concerned with her record and stances written in just the last couple of days. i'm sure if you're actually uncertain but genuinely interested, you will find one on the source of your choice - but i think we both know this is not what your post was about, correct? i imagine if trump claimed, or even just misspoke, that it was october already, and i told you it's still september, you'd demand several independent studies to prove i was right, otherwise it'd just be a lefty smear...

questions on religion is okay imo. Catholics get shit all the time for their beliefs so i’m sure she’s used to it.

dragging her adopted children into it and making damning accusations of trafficking or theft is what i expect from a political party who does not value life and worships termination of viable organisms for personal convenience. icemage has joined the ranks of these privileged lefties

Is Nancy Pelosi a minor figure? Kamala Harris? Bernie Sanders? AOC?
