    :obama-drone: gave up two supreme court nominations, one of which he would have squandered on a right leaning centrist loser closer to Biden's age and the other he didn't even get the chance to give up on because RBG had to try to achieve some kind of stupid #girlboss combo by only resigning when :hillary-contempt: could appoint her successor which blew up in their faces spectacularly

    All of that is of course our fault and they are the adults in the room, certainly not a bunch of out of touch walking corpses too high on their own farts and drunk on power to actually do anything

    Actually their analogy works better than they ever intended, yes perhaps they are the adults but that would make them abusive adults barely capable of taking care of themselves let alone us, who care more about feeding their various addictions than caring for the next generation and that's exactly who they are

      HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE :LIB:S SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR :LIB:S AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. FOR :liberalism:. HATE. HATE.

      Not that Ellison is a comrade.

          Not a chud, but not a comrade He considered himself "apolitical" and signed "non-aggression pacts" with people. I'd grant him the full title of "libertarian", but I don't know his stance on fucking children.

    The question is, will liberals continue to sublimate their rage into meaningless acts that make them feel better, or will they exercise actual power,

    Go on. :sicko-hexbear:

    by voting Democrats into office

      If we vote hard enough then the Democrats will win and everything will be safe.

      What's that they control the executive and both houses of the legislative branch? No no that's basically 0 power. Vote more

    exercise actual power, by voting Democrats into office on local, state, and national levels, and by demanding that the desecration of the Supreme Court that took place during the Trump years (and the last of Obama’s) be corrected immediately, by changing the size of the court or enacting term limits or both?

    The Democrats at home: “The Commission takes no position on the validity or strength” of arguments for or against increasing the number of justices

    Even their irrelevant panel to create the illusion of doing anything won't even say we should

      This screed blew my mind. Based on the title, I assumed it was a leftist scolding libs and I was thrilled, since the American left has been sounding the alarm on the unchecked power of the supreme court forever.

      My disappointment is immeasurable. They get within microns of the point so many times, but keep reverting back to "but muh decorum". Goddamnit.

      But, the real problem is that I keep expecting people trained from birth to be ineffectual to actually use their brains. Fuck them.

      The one-two punch.

      CHUDs take away rights. LIBs lecture you about how it’s your fault.

      The perfect democracy, the perfectly balanced system.

    Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi was blaming the left on Twitter yesterday, saying that this was all becuase leftists didn't vote for Hillary in 2016.

      Went to a hipster "oxygen bar" once where they offered $2 off for writing a positive affirmation and sticking it to their wall.

      Easy to grift liberals with crystals and self-help shit. Not as easy as jesus and guns with republicans, but close.

    Yes, if we wanted to protect abortion we should have voted for Hillary who chose an anti-abortion Democrat as her running mate. She definitely would have protected abortion rights very seriously.
