It's like saying Capone should have been given clemency because the government got him on evading taxes, not the violent murders of a mafia don

"They didn't once bring up the murders and organized crimes at his tax evasion trial!'

The fact that Biden thinks that there is a constituency that cares about what job Neera gets is why his presidency is going to be a failure.

And even if the next nominee is more conservative, whose fault will that be? IDK maybe Joe Biden? The guy who's gonna nominate that person???

Yeah, it actually sucks and it's kind of telling who's celebrating this.

Well that was the first thing the people mentioned, and that's what the confirmation hearings seem centered on, so it's really weird for people's impression of someone seem to be something that they can't remember and can't source. And the idea that no one ever recorded what any of her tweets said just doesn't pass the smell test. Especially since some people clearly did retain them, because they had that tweet about Murkowski, which honestly wasn't that bad and she was completely right about. Also, if I recall, deleted tweets don't delete retweeting, so there should still hypothetically be plenty out there.

meanwhile, it seems HR1 does exactly what it's meant to do, gently caress over anyone but political power brokers.

https://www.gp.org/hr1

quote:

HR 1 is sold as a way to get money out of politics and to protect voters but it contains a poison pill for democracy and opposition parties like the Green Party. HR1 quintuples the amount of money Green presidential campaigns will be required to raise to qualify for federal matching funds: from $5,000 in each of 20 states to $25,000 per state.

The Green Party stands opposed to this bait-and-switch legislation that claims to improve access to voting while actually dismantling everyone's right to organize electorally against the parties of War and Wall Street. In a recent Gallup poll, a record 62% of US voters said we need a new major party.

In addition to quintupling the money presidential candidates must raise to access presidential primary public matching funds, HR1 will:

Abolish the general election campaign block grants that parties can access by winning at least 5% of the vote in the previous presidential election. HR1 will eliminate this provision that was created to give a fair shot to alternative parties that demonstrate significant public support

Replace the general election block grants (where each qualified candidate receives a set, lump sum of public funding for campaign expenses) with matching funds through Election Day — a huge step backwards for public campaign finance reform — using the above-mentioned criteria designed to squeeze out alternative parties and independent candidates

Eliminate the limits on donations and expenditures candidates can receive and make — what kind of campaign finance reform is that?

Inflate the amount of money national party committees can give to candidates from $5000 to $100 million, an astonishing increase of 1999900% that would give party bosses virtually unlimited power to flood elections with big money
Instead of trying to fool American voters and eliminating minor party voices, the Green Party calls for real reforms to democratize elections:

The Fair Representation Act, introduced in 2018 and 2019, would enact Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) and multi-member districts for Congressional elections, giving voters more power and more choice

Individual state governments should enact RCV for their elections, including the presidential election

Fully-public campaign finance for every federal, state and local office through the Clean Money/Clean Elections model now used in Arizona and Maine

Cool. I think it's probably not a great thing that we've just had a highprofile display that there are two very different standards of conduct, even after the death of :decorum:. I think it's unfortunate that in the 2028 Turner administration, this will weigh much more heavily against a BJG nomination than a cabinet spot for Bruenig or Sirota and the reasons that it will are why this is so toxic.

"I love edginess and mock decorumobsessed lanyards and I think it's great when the latter cause a public humiliation over the former so long as the target is someone I dislike" is a gross take. Being a poster shouldn't be disqualifying, and there are plenty of great reasons to dislike Neera. Celebrations of her nom getting spiked because of :decorum: by folks who are otherwise all about edginess sure looks to represent a culture that's onboard with edginess so long as it's actually upholding the power structure it superficially rebels against :shrug:
