I'm still a lil salty ngl
Exactly. It's true she couldn't of known when she'd die, but surely she knew her health was declining.
She should've stepped down while there was a strong chance of her being replaced by someone with views like her's, rather than handing that decision over to her direct opposition like she did.
Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.
And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.
I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.
I plan to get a few of these for things that everyone knew I should have should have sent earlier, but now will have grave and far reaching consequences when I send it.
Pass.
I’m fucking sick of old people
Ginsburg fucked us all over, fuck off.
Yeah. She WAS someone to admire until she died, clinging to a position that she should have allowed to be passed on to a young blood when we had a fighting chance. Her greed for power soured her reputation, and forever ruined her legacy. I hope future generations can at least learn something from this
Just ordered some.
