I am convinced that wouldn't have mattered whatsoever. The same media that painted Biden as some kind of civil rights progressive could certainly have papered over that oopsie from Klob.

And the only reason Biden won was because of the pandemic. So, unless there's another covid-level shitstorm that Klob could blame on her opponent, I don't think she could win.

That negotiation was made substantially more difficult for Democrats after House whip, Congressional Black Caucus member, and top ranking Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) went on the Sunday shows this past weekend and vocally pledged a willingness to give up on qualified immunity reforms entirely. Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, Clyburn said, “If we don’t get qualified immunity now, then we will come back and try to get it later. But I don’t want to see us throw out a good bill because we can’t get a perfect bill.”

can't let perfect be the enemy of good
pass this first and we'll come back later and add all the good stuff

yeah baby, I love it when they play the hits!

watch there be some sort of cycle where all the inner ring suburbs raise property taxes due to covid effects and then kamala wins solely by blaming republicans for the salt tax cap. just a repeat of 2018 congressional

What? No, the gas pipeline was hacked and then state govs all declared states of emergency which caused people to hoard even more than they were. Christ I don't know how anyone can be online for more than like 4 seconds and not know that

Clyburn’s comments, it seems, were not lost on Tim Scott. Less than a month ago, Scott indicated a willingness to reach some sort of compromise on qualified immunity, even as Democrats elsewhere were beginning to soften on it. But with Clyburn effectively negotiating with himself, and giving away the entire position on national television, Scott has dug in further. In a meeting between Bass, Booker, and Scott yesterday, Scott pledged that he was now “on the exact opposite side” of qualified immunity reforms.

qualified immunity is like citizens united. they are not "the problem", as in nothing would actually change if you got rid of them. the rich would just keep giving unlimited money to influence politics and the police would keep brutalizing the poor and oppressed while the courts look the other way because that's how the system is supposed to work. qualified immunity and citizens united were just legal codifications of the system working as intended.

theres an assumption that 'accountability' will lead to rational acting police to behave differently than they are now. but the fact is that focusing on accountability means you've already lost and are just begging for scraps

lollin at how liberals short circuit on votebluenomatterwho and the economy lately

"Joe Biden created the most jobs in history! Bigger number than ever!"
"He inherited a massive recovery."
"What? No he didn't! He inherited the worst economy since the great depression! The recovery is while he is president!!!"
"So when the economy poo poo the bed in 2009 that was Obama's fault because he was the president at the time?"
"No! He inherited a recession!"

No shame from these people. And no I'm not saying Trump was personally responsible for the recovery just that unprecedented drops in the economy with temporary layoffs was always going to result in a "Boom" when some of those historic job losses were reversed. This isn't even a complex semantics argument. There was a disease so we shut the economy down which made number go down. After a year when vaccines start spreading we opened up the economy so number goes up. Joe Biden didn't create poo poo and has done nothing but mumble about regressive center-right policies.

I would say that rushing out to take credit for the dead cat bounce in the middle of a multi-year economic collapse means they can't blame Trump for the real crash that is coming but who am I kidding. There are probably Huffpo articles already written waiting to be published the microsecond we lose more jobs than we create in a week or whatever. "WHY TRUMP CAUSED 2020-2024 TO BE TERRIBLE" as the doddering rapist bombs civilians and hands trillions of dollars to the healthcare industry.

This stupid son of a bitch is whining about unemployment payments being abused yet is somehow also The Ur Job Creator. We were destined to receive the benevolence of his amazing economic boosting powers.
