The website I usually use to find them in specific states is down right now and redirecting to a generic donation site, but it should be easy enough to look up one that's in your area (or in a state where abortion is now pretty much illegal).

I mean, yeah she had a pretty lovely campaign and I guess the Stein voters thought she would win over captain 'grab em by the pussy' like everyone else did. But I wonder how many Stein voters in swing states are now regretting casting their protest ballot.

What I can see happening long-term is that more and more social policy is determined at the state level, which will drive left-leaning voters more quickly to the few states whose legislators support progressive policy, further exacerbating the problems of the electoral college.

I was just pointing out that the general public would easily swallow the loss of gay marriage and interracial marriage, as easily as they accepted the loss of women's rights. Wiping any of these rights will not cause an ounce of social chaos.

Hillary winning in 2016 would have only stalled the inevitable since McConnell would keep on blocking nominations until the next republican president and I wouldn't expect her administration to codify Roe v Wade into federal law.

If McConnell had kept up the blockade for 4 years the court would now be 4-3 conservative (Kennedy would not have retired) and would not have its two most far-right votes. It's impossible to game out what the 2020 election would have looked like but "fix the court" would have an entirely different meaning

The website I usually use to find them in specific states is down right now and redirecting to a generic donation site, but it should be easy enough to look up one that's in your area (or in a state where abortion is now pretty much illegal). Also, as states set up websites to let randos narc on people who assist others in getting abortions, flood those sites with false reports. Random nonsense is fine, but ideally look up low level Republican mooks in those states--the kind of front line staffer types that keep the system running but don't have much if any personal clout--and make reports that are as plausible as possible. The goal is to get the system to waste as much time and effort as possible sifting out bullshit rather than using a script to filter out a million reports of Dickbutt Mcgoon in five seconds. negativeneil posted:What I can see happening long-term is that more and more social policy is determined at the state level, which will drive left-leaning voters more quickly to the few states whose legislators support progressive policy, further exacerbating the problems of the electoral college. Agreed. This has the side effect of leaving the most vulnerable people high and dry, without even the possibility of an in-person support network of non-monsters. It's horrifying.

Keep in mind, that the right has been dogged in pursuing this outcome for decades . The right had a long term plan and worked their rear end off to get it. Without a strong counter from the Pro choice side, it was inevitable that this was going to happen. Even if trump didn't get elected, with that kind of political force going, they would have gotten their eventually. Now it's up to the pro choice side and the democrats(lol) to actually start fighting back as hard.

Beyond all other things, he's a wealthy, powerful, well-connected man. The laws literally don't apply to him, and there's nobody in a better position to know that than he is. It was like, what, a week ago that he refused to turn over his/his wife's phone records to a government investigation? And Kavanaugh got a hearing where the FBI literally didn't investigate any of the leads they were given. He can reinstate slavery and not be effected by it. The supreme court doesn't live in the world their opinions bind.

Calling it now: Loving gets overturned, Thomas's marriage is automatically dissolved, and it'll come out this was all a scheme to leave his wife without having to pay alimony. eviltastic posted:Forgive me if I missed it in a quick moving thread, but was this question answered? I don't think anyone's done a word for word comparison. Obviously the upshot is the same.

I'm not gonna pretend that Thomas couldn't find some reason to want to overturn Loving, but his listing in that concurrence is about cases decided on substantive due process grounds. Loving was decided on equal protection grounds which is why it's not on his target list.

From someone in a voter suppression state: the progressive policies we enjoyed at the city level were eventually stripped away at the state level. The progressive policies enjoyed at the state level will eventually be stripped away at the federal level. And we know the Right's already preparing to push a federal abortion ban. Guessing we'll see it around January 2025.

Cimber posted:I mean, yeah she had a pretty lovely campaign and I guess the Stein voters thought she would win over captain 'grab em by the pussy' like everyone else did. I'm going to briefly break my anti-D&D posting policy and say that blaming Jill Stein and Stein-voters is wrong. Stein had no effect on Clinton's electoral votes; any votes that she earned took away a very tiny amount away from Clinton. If there was no Stein in 2016, Clinton still would have lost those red states and still would have had a comfortable margin in blue states. In fact, if you assumed that third party votes were "owed" to the big two, meaning Johnson and McMullin votes go to Trump and Stein votes go to Clinton, then she would have an even worse result. She would have lost Minnsota, New Mexico, New Hampshire and Maine. And she would have lose the popular vote too. If anything, Clinton needed third party candidates to split Trump votes. So shut the hell up about third party voters. They did not make Clinton lose nor did they destroy abortion rights.
