It won't even be worse than America was twenty years ago, when we murdered a million Iraqis.

I think she can make it another four years. Ginsberg actively had cancer when she refused to resign. I think there's a difference here, and she's easily the best member of the court on pretty much every issue.

Who was running the Democratic side of the race? Centrist democrats, or leftists? Maybe try blaming the people who had any kind of power, rather than those of us who were pointing out all along what a shitty campaign it was from the outside.

I voted for her. This meme is still correct.

I voted for her. The Democrats are still at fault.

"Underscores the complex relationship" is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.

There's a difference between submissiveness in sex scenarios and submissiveness in the rest of life, though. I don't think wanting the former means somebody has toxic masculinity.

It's worth noting here that the President, as per the supreme Court, is immune from all prosecution if his actions result from the scope of his duties. It would be trivial for Trump to argue that deporting everybody he doesn't like is within the scope of his duties, whether it's lawful or not. That's the unique danger we face right now: a combination of a strong man and a uniquely deferential SCOTUS. It's never happened in American history.

A lot of the people he wants to deport are people claiming asylum because the country they come from is too dangerous to be in. Letting those people stay here while they plead their case is one of our lawful treaty obligations. Rounding them up and summarily deporting them is not enforcing the law it's abrogating the law.

He's talking about deporting millions of illegal immigrants, which will probably require putting them in a camp at least temporarily.

Sending an electoral college message is a decent argument. I'm not persuaded about the house and senate argument though. In my case, I may not vote for Harris, because as somebody from Washington, she's not gonna lose Washington. But I'm voting for a bunch of downballot Dems because they're better progressives on a bunch of issues that Harris is not a good on. If it were even within fifteen points in Washington I'd vote for her, but I don't want to vote for genocide if I don't have to.

Those people didn't even look at a poll (which were actually fairly accurate that year)? They didn't even check to see if Hillary was within ten points of losing their state (a greater margin of error than any modern polling miss)? That's on them. That's not what I'm advocating here.
