    My fucking god. The GOP base will obsess about the 2020 presidential election until their last breaths. Meanwhile - the dems will do the same for 2016. Here's an top r/politics take. If you're impatient - skip to the last couple sentences.

    notcaffeinefree comments on Supreme Court Lets Texas Six-Week Abortion Ban Stay in Effect

    Abortion, which has been a protected right for decades, is now illegal in a state because the Supreme Court decided to change precedent through the shadow docket. What horse-shit.

    This should be a clear sign to Democrats that they need to add judges starting tomorrow. Dems are still playing softball which the GOP aren't afraid to break norms to get their agenda pushed through. Dems need to wake up and realize they're losing the country by being nice and doing things the way they used to be, and should be, done.

    It should also make it stupidly clear that when you vote in Presidential elections, you're not just voting for the President. You're voting for the policies of the Democratic Party; You're voting for Cabinet members, like an Attorney General, that advance those policies; and you're voting for judges that align with those policies. Roberts joined with the liberals, and if we still had RBG (or a liberal replacement for her), this would not have happened.

    Instead people didn't like Clinton so they didn't vote for her and fucked up the entire Democratic party. She was a pretty terrible candidate, yes, but she would have prevented this.

      This loser begins by admitting the Democrats are useless and ends by telling us to vote for Democrats :thonk:

      when you vote in Presidential elections, you’re not just voting for the President. You’re voting for the policies of the Democratic Party

      Opportunists rely on half steps and performative progress, while obscuring the need to abolish the bourgeois state :lenin-laugh:
