    They had four years and they haven't done their fucking jobs. It's almost like Democrats don't actually want a strong NLRB

      Biden also dragged his feet on initial nominations and his NLRB has maintained a ton of the worst Trump-era decisions.

      Most pro-union president btw

      Can’t wait until after all this. They try to take credit for the growing global enshittification by telling the GOP in a smug tone: “you do realize we let you win, right?”

      Democrats will be happy that they can just retire and do absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives. I’m willing to bet Sotomayor and Kagan will retire under Trump too just to make it official.

        I can't imagine that that'd happen, they need to maintain some level of "we're trying here" in order to effectively rile up their base to vote. Not appointing someone to the NLRB is much less noticable than Supreme Court justices stepping down. I think that the optics are best for both parties if the Supreme Court is basically always a 5-4 split one way or the other, or it is always 5-4 (R). That way the line is that it's always this close to {getting the Supreme Court back,the other team getting the Supreme Court} to mobilize voters.
