But Democrats and The Left are hellbent on tearing down their candidate for a multitude of reasons

Reasons like he may not be fit to do the job, he’s trailing in the polls, and is likely to lose?

and have consistently refused to do anything that could possibly have prevented the current mess of a supreme court.

Such as? Everyone says this but never gives the next sentence, what they should have done.

Stack the supreme court to better represent a 50+ state country of 340 million people. Or, as of the recent ruling, use an Official Act or two to fix the fucking courts.

Needs Congress, and there’s barely a Senate majority. You think Manchin is going to play ball for that? We couldn’t even get rid of the filibuster.

I think this is the kind of situation where you pull out every single stop because it is literally the future of the country. I don’t care what back room deals are being made. I care about there being a future.

You know, rather than having a ruling that is basically “Anything that is an official act is legal and if there is a dispute we’ll eventually rule in favor of the republicans when it gets to us”. Which… opens up the kind of options that this article is saying would help trump even though they clearly wouldn’t.

What part of “SCOTUS just made the President a King” do you not understand? Biden could literally kill Manchin (and any other Congressperson who refused to rubber-stamp his plan) and it would be legal.

Polls haven’t shifted one way or the other as of yet. If this does anything, then there might need to be a different conversation.

Biden has been trending down since April and has been behind in the polls since then. His an incumbent who is down in the polls.

How about the fact that he looks confused a lot too? He’s very old and doddering. At his age he couldn’t be a judge in my state, but he can be president?

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
