But hey, be the "True Leftist" that leads us to worker's utopia, I'll wait for that comrade

I personally find it funny that the current definition of a Republican win is the Supreme Court allowing their candidate on the ballot despite him inciting an insurrection. Aiming real high there.

Jimlit posted:I mean for real, everyone acts all incredulous but what has the democratic party actually taken away? loving nothing. Same candidates and policies election after election. If losing to Donald J. Trump one time doesn't completely upend your party, losing twice should burn the whole party down. More and more I think the dems aren’t doing anything different because they’re accomplishing exactly what they set out to do: nothing. They’re a political heat sink. They soak up the votes of people mad at the Republicans, run out the clock and do gently caress all when they do get elected, then when the Republicans get re-elected they go right back to their true passion of fundraising.

They're co-opting the same bullshit 'I was a leftist until they said A MEAN THING' that the nazis online use to justify being a nazi. Pushing back against neolib centrist do-nothing bullshit is the reason we don't have more leftist policies in fact big mean giraffe fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Feb 8, 2024 |

The next step for the Dems is to appeal the Supreme Courts ruling to the Pope right, or does it really stop at the court with members appointed by the key figure of the hearing?

There is some new news, to do with Biden’s classified documents. They aren’t charging him, but it sounds like their characterization of his handling of the documents is pretty bad. I can’t find the statement yet, just saw Katy Tur talking about it. So now we’ll get dozens of of Troofs about TWO STANDARDS OF JUSTICE! and Fox braying for weeks about the same thing. e: all of them carefully ignoring the fact that Trump did everything he did do keep them, and discussed just lying and saying he didn’t have any, while Biden turned his docs in as soon as he realized he had them, and didn’t make waves.

Is there any mechanism for the lower courts to get the SCOTUS to rethink their decisions? Like can they say, “We, the undersigned 150 judges think you guys hosed up badly, and here is our reasoning (see attached 800 documents), please look at this again?” Or is the decision absolute and final and anyone who doesn’t like it (even if they can make sound legal arguments against it) just has to suck it up because it’s been decided forever?

It sucks that the current slate of POTUS candidates are older than the dinosaurs but there’s no real way around that at this stage of the game. One can hope that 2028 will get us someone that isn’t older than the Atomic bomb.
