Cuz hes a milquetoast coward. He shoulda packed the court day one.
*unpacked, by expanding it to 13 minimum, 15 for good measure. But yes.
Why stop at 15? I want 50 more progressive justices
The president cannot impeach them unilaterally, and is explicitly out of his power.
He could, however, potentially send them to a blacksite as a prisoner or conveniently kill them as part of that arrest. They could claim collusion with domestic terror groups, espionage, corruption, etc, as very plausible justification for arrest, and that would probably qualify as official duties, at least how this SCOTUS would classify the same actions if executed by a republican president.
I mean... in his place I'd probably make them think I was going to do it to see if it would change their mind.
The time has come
It's because the sad fact of the matter is that both of our political parties are working together to fuck us.
I don't know how else to interpret this.
I think it's much more obvious that one party cares about decorum no matter what is going on.
tomato tomato
Oh thank god for decorum.
Glad to hear that one party is playing by imagined rules and that the other party is playing by what is actually written.
Good thing that we're getting fucked either way.
I don't think that many people have realized this yet, but we are all fucked no matter who is in office.
It's very evident that nothing is getting better no matter who from our two choices is in charge.
I'm actually losing weight (that I don't need to lose) because the cost of living is too high. I've had to start working more, and it's barely helping.
Thank the good lord that the DNC is following decorum though. So glad that they're being polite while we are being absolutely fucked.
I wasn't implying it was a good thing, just the explanation of why they don't get more done.
That said, they have improved a few things. It just isn't as much as we need. Insulin, for example, is in a much better place, and that should be expanding to cover more drugs. Thr democrats are significantly better than the Republicans. They are not both the same. They just aren't as good as we deserve.
I'm sorry to vent at you. It wasn't really meant to be directed at you. I'm just very frustrated.
My girlfriend is a diabetic, and insulin is indeed more affordable. It still costs her about $120 a month for something that costs pennies to produce.
My real point though, is that it doesn't matter who is in power. Things are getting dramatically worse every year no matter who is in the White House.
The Supreme Court is obviously completely fucked. They literally made it legal for them to be bribed. And they are not elected by citizens, and also have a lifetime appointment.
There is nothing that we as citizens can legally do to curb their power. We are quite literally at their mercy, and they are not being merciful.
And I haven't even touched on our actual real long-term problems.
is biden better than trump? yes. am I voting biden? yes, there's no other real option. is he a feckless snivelling coward that only cares about people if they offer him a chance for power? yes. does he actually intend to do anything to improve our country and stave off a christofascist totalitarian takeover? hell no he doesn't lmao
he won't do a good god damn thing if the corporations who have their fists up his ass don't force him to, and they don't give a shit about any of this because when it all turns red come inauguration day, regulations and protections will be stripped away and they'll have no restriction on how they can abuse us and our planet for their own gain.
he has this new power, and just like with the power he holds now, he won't do anything with it that will actually move the needle and improve quality of life for anyone unless it serves his interest. the next guy will use it though. bend over, y'all.
Big tough guy on the internet, but let's see how you feel when Trump's brown shirts are knocking on doors to check if you're harboring any trans people...
I wish I was joking, but be prepared because this shit can happen fast. Then maybe you'll think back on this election and wonder what could have happened if all you stupid motherfuckers would just shut the fuck up and vote for Biden.
"Wahhh we had four years to choose a better candidate and we did FUCKING NOTHING. Now we're looking literal fascism in the face and we're suddenly all concerned about who our presidential candidates are." You know we have a whole process for this, right? It doesn't start 5 months before the election.
It's so fucking juvenile. We get it, you're not going to vote. Stop spreading your cancer.
We get it, you're not going to vote
not at all what I said. you have terrible reading comprehension. I specifically said I'm voting Biden.
Jesus dude at that point just vote for someone else 💀
if you're not American, I would understand that to be a reasonable suggestion. not how it works here, though.
under our system of voting, third party votes are less than worthless. I would rather that not be the case, but here we are.
If you're American or if you're not simply ignorant of that fact, I assume you're salivating at the idea of getting a reluctant biden voter to vote third party to help secure your authoritarian party win.
Authoritarian party win? Do you even know who I was going to vote for? I guess any third party means authoritarian to you? No, and its not just Biden voters, its people who vote for Trump as well. We all need to pick a different canadite now. I'd personally vote for Chase Oliver.
You may think that's how the system works, but at it's root, you can pick other choices, not just one or the other. The more you say that, the more real it becomes, and the more hopeless you make everyone else feel. You have a very nuanced view of how everything works and what type of person I am.
The system is set up to only have two options. It's intentional. Also the VP used to be the party that lost. That's how much it matters to vote after the parties pick a nominee.
The founding fathers said a two party system would be the downfall of this country, so no, its not intentional.
