Somehow never Obama's fault for rolling over and letting the republicans block him like a lame duck

I do think it's funny that this country's democracy boils down to "we're electing the person who may or may not select the true arbiters of justice who are themselves unaccountable and serve for life." Popular will is so far removed from the equation and yet that's not the problem.

Don't talk about expanding the Court, though. That'd violate the norms!

I mean Obama (D) literally refused to fill a seat leaving it to the next president Trump (R). Having a democrat party president really deosnt guarantee progressive judges.

Hey, remind me again who voted in favor of overturning the ban on conversion therapy? It was only the conservative justices, right?

Didn’t them shits just 8-1 transphobia

"or stay at home" is such a funny thing to tack onto the end of your message

I guarantee 99.99% of yankees who sit out elections do not see these endless zingers liberals keep making amongst themeselves. They're not actually messaging to anyone, it's all phone calls inside the house, to other parts of the house. Well. And us. We see them. But we're weirdos, who are outliers and should not be considered.

The Hillary claim is stupid; she DID win the popular vote, people DID vote for her, she lost the electoral vote; this is literally why people began talking about getting rid of the electoral college.

As for Kamala, is she some kind of mindless amoeba or something? Couldn't she actually give the voters what we wanted? At the very least swear off Israel; was this something beyond her ability to do? It's not as though we asked her to cure cancer or move the North American continent a little to the right (although she certainly seemed to want to move the party a little to the right); is it that she's physically or mentally incapable of standing against Israel? Cause if so, maybe the dems should've put forth a candidate who COULD actually do this.

For God's sake Kamala lost the election and she STILL stands with Israel, she is STILL choosing to embrace what lost her the election; Hillary Clinton talks at zionist conventions (an AIPAC one relatively recently if I recall correctly) where she viewed the problem as being that people were seeing what was happening on tiktok rather than that Israel was conducting a genocide. Kamala lost because she didn't care enough to win, her priorities were elsewhere.

I even more so will not listen to people who were cheering Biden going after the Houthis, especially when the Houthis were literally the only people willing to fight to put a stop to the genocide. I haven't forgotten the memes libs were making about 'The Houthis are about to find out why we don't have healthcare'.

A Supreme Court full of liberals is a nightmare I didn’t expect to have forced into my mind right now

At least the republicans are being open about killing America instead of keeping the hellworld going for another 75 years

Death to America means Death to America.

Hey citizen fuck you for not voting for our party, so what that we have terrible policies?! Now, an even worse guy than us gets to be in charge, you're to blame for our loss!

I still see comments on the mainstream reddit subs making this argument but fortunately it gets called out a lot more than it did a few years ago. Pretty crazy it still gets any traction at all though. Crazy that it ever did, really.

I had to remind myself I was on Lemmy before I decided to downvote this. Some fucking quality slop there, even got my blood pressure slightly raised.

"Vote so some unelected geriatrics that are universally full of shit can be appointed by MY war criminal"

And THAT folks, is why you have to do what I say

So when threw transgender familoes under the bus and when he was in power all these attacks went from state to state unchallenged by the democrats.....

Let's not kid ourselves, they would have put 3 turbo-moderates on the court in order to lose most court decisions 5-4.
