The Supreme Court has a new playbook — and Democrats need to adapt before it's too late

www.rawstory.com The Supreme Court has a new playbook — and Democrats need to adapt before it's too late

Imagine that the NFL made a rule change that allowed every team to have an extra three men on the field during the game — but half of the NFL teams, protesting the new rule as “wrong” and “too much of a deviation from fairness and norms” refused to add the three players to their own lineups.Who’d be...

If we have to rely on democrats adapting to a new political reality, we're fucked.
- Well you aren't expecting the Republicans to wise up are you?
  
  Yep, we're fucked.
  
  Republicans won't wise up, so the people need to rise up.

  Democrats are the ones who are being laughably inept at what they claim to want.
  
  Sigh.
  
  "Republicans are bad" is a tautology, much like "Nazis are bad". People generally don't say "Nazis are bad" whenever they talk about WWII, because it's implied by them being Nazis.

  It’s pretty transparent.
No doubt SCOTUS was just eager to use Project 2025.
Democrats

Adapt

🤣
They need to start an interstate compact like with the national popular vote. Until enough states sign on, gerrymander, suppress votes or encourage votes. Do whatever is necessary to get the seats. You don't get brownie points for being fair, you get them for getting shit done that actually affects people's lives.
Story suggests that the Democratic Party needs to adapt to new rules or continue to lose.

Dems had 4 years to do something and they wasted it on supporting genocide instead. That's the reality of these people.
- Well that's not true at all.
