  • I used “refused” in the past tense. I’m pretty sure that route is gone. Democrats will never have the majorities they need because this Court has made so many anti-democratic and pro-corruption rulings as to render the electoral process into a joke.

    Gratuities are legal now! It is now legal to give a politician money as thanks for passing legislation. It’s not “bribery” because it occurs after the act, you see, and so therefore it’s just protected speech. I’m sure Clarence Thomas is happy about that one.

    But! Dems could still run on the issue as a way to sway voters! But they’re too scared because, as you said, then Republicans will just do it too and it’ll probably lead to a civil war. So. Uh. Whatever I guess, country is fucked.







  • In a general election it could also cause Democrats to stay home. You know that can happen, right? Harris needs to reassure Democrats that she won’t govern like a cop and appealing to mythical Independents at the cost of her base is a bad move.

    I’m happy to vote for a chance at ending the genocide. I suspect she probably won’t but I’m willing to vote for a chance.

    But if she gets deep into law and order shit then there are going to be people who see it and assume she’s basically just a moderate Republican, and they won’t care about taking that chance. Calling me cringe doesn’t change that.
