I am really disturbed by all the congressional Democrats and some of the folks here who keep saying; If McConnell pushes through another stolen SCOTUS nominee, THEN we will expand the court next year. Think about what this is saying. Hey MoscowMitch, if you don’t steal another supreme court seat, we promise we’ll let you keep your 5-4 stolen majority that you got when you pissed on the constitution and refused to let Obama have a nominee for the Supreme Court and many other court seats. And we’ll even forget about how you abused the Senate and the House to spread propaganda and even used a hostile foreign power to help you steal the 2016 election.
NO! Whether McConnell steals that seat or not, Dems absolutely, positively, MUST expand and take control of the Supreme Court! PERIOD!! How will people feel about voting again when absolutely EVERYTHING the Dems pass gets shot down by this stolen fascist court and at the same time Roe V Wade is overturned, the ACA is trashed, extreme gerrymandering and historic voter suppression are given the full go ahead…? Many low info voters will conclude we gave the government to the Dems and I’m worse off than I ever was.
This is the ball game! Global Warming will kill hundreds of millions in a few decades if we pussy foot around and try to bargain with these fascists and say we’ll let you have 5-4 if you don’t confirm someone in the next 100 days. What do we get out of this bargain?! Instead of everything you thought you’d get from Dem control being shot down by 6-3, it gets shot down by 5-4. This is insanity. When do we start to fight to WIN instead of fighting to lose by smaller votes?!!
We saw what they did to the voting rights act, and how the fascist states immediately started purging voter rolls, and implementing poll taxes, and making it as hard as possible for POC to vote. Well what do you think they’ll do next year? Will there be enough Dems allowed to vote to ever win the White House or Senate again? If you’re not taking this seriously, you’ve been sleeping for the last couple of decades.
This is all out political war! No matter what McConnell does, when the Dems take the senate they must immediately add how many it takes to take control of the entire court system. There will be NO second chance.
Vote like your life depends on it.
