evilweasel posted:that is correct, as currently the Democratic Party leadership includes neither a President or a Majority Leader of the Senate. but as to the President, we will be having a primary to determine who should be put forward as our potential President, and that person will be the most important member of the Democratic Party for those questions. so we'll have to think hard about who the best nominee will be, and make sure they will be willing to do what needs to be done. hooray! we've figured it out! you heard the man. kick back and trust the system. after all, when has that failed us. no don't look back. looking back wouldn't be decorous.

Susan B Anthony literally helped harriet tubman work on the underground railroad and had fredrick douglass live in her house for a while and her first political action ever was running antislavery petitions at 16 because they were made illegal. I feel like at some point in the last 6 months some podcast or something merged elizabeth stanton and susan b anthony because I feel like I've seen a weird recent uptick in 'woke' blogs being like weirdly negative on susan like she has a dark racist side, which like, no. For someone born in 1820 she is like BFFs with every anti-slavery person from your 5th grade text book and like got yelled at for trying to bring up black teachers at the women teacher's conference she went to.

Nemo Somen posted:Hasn't the Mueller investigations already led to some indictments? Like Manafort, Papadopoulos, and Flynn? Claiming that the investigation won't do anything is ignoring what it has already done. While I think the media and libs overhype mueller, they have done stuff and they probably will find poo poo, whether poo poo happens. Who knows. I think the house will impeach but hosed if I know what the senate will do.

If the investigation does turn up something juicy and the House votes to impeach, forcing the Senate Republicans to outright say "We don't think someone guilty of X, Y, and Z should be held accountable" is A Good Thing.

Deified Data posted:Would Trump-packed courts present an issue here? IANAL but not on a federal level. SCOTUS deals with issues involving the constitution and such, while state voting laws are written into their own constitutions. I imagine that issues there would be settled within the state.

You're reading poo poo into it that I didn't say. Yes, Susan B. Anthony was an abolitionist who supported equal rights for African-Americans. She was also a suffragist who opposed the first Constitutional Amendment to ever explicitly reserve voting rights only for "men", a word which previously did not appear anywhere in the Constitution. Turns out history is more complicated than a game of Civilization!

Fritz Coldcockin posted:When we won in Kansas I think everyone perked back up. Everyone was gravedancing on Kris Kobach; it was awesome. Kirs Kobach going down was such a huge personal victory. It really cracks me up because I think if Colyer had won the Primary he probably would've won the general, but Laura Kelly did such a great job of tying Kris K. Kobach to Sam Brownbacks policies that most people couldn't stand voting for the regressive piece of poo poo.

I think this is really scary. The GOP talking point here is literally "they're stealing the election by trying to count all of the ballots". That's nuts. That's one step from just saying that Democrat's votes don't count.

Surely they'd all be overturning elections if they could? i mean, there was bush v. gore. but my biggest concern is that i think the senate gets to judge who the legitimately elected senator is if there's dueling claims to be the legitimately elected senator, so if nelson wins and scott declares no, actually, he won and shows up at the senate in january, i think the Senate gets to decide who to seat, and that has obvious problems given who controls the senate now and who will control it then i don't actually know all of the details on those rules though, but I do recall the House and the Senate are empowered to judge the elections of their respective members by the Constitution

If the investigation hurts the Trump family's eternal real estate scam, it will have been worth it. If nothing else, they're going to be monitored for fraud by people who actually care to monitor them after Trump leaves office.
