I’m also looking forward to “Bigfoot found” megathread.

Who knows. Primaries have upsets. Clinton was the frontrunner going into 2008. Jeb Bush was Republicans’ presumptive nominee before the 2016 primaries started.

Colorado has universal vote by mail.

They can decline to hear the case, in which case the ruling would stand in Colorado.

Democrats have blocked good policy as well. BBB and the minimum wage increase spring to mind. Democrats won’t end the filibuster to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights act. They didn’t end it to codify Roe. They won’t end it to codify Obergefell. They didn’t end it to support rail workers. Biden promised to revisit the public option during his campaign. Hasn’t bothered to try. And this is a pattern of behavior going back decades. Our own caucus killed the public option with no help from Republicans. We had a filibuster-proof majority and we still managed to find enough no votes. Even after the bill went to reconciliation and could have been passed with a simple majority, did we put the public option back? Of course we didn’t. Did we even try to? Nope.

Nothing stops Democratic policy like Democrats.

One thing I hate about border security compromises is just that it’s never enough for the right to shut up for even a day.

Democrats know this. But they have been given a chance to capitulate, look like they’re weak and have no plan, and be complicit in cruelty to the marginalized. They can’t resist.

Because young voters are stupid, ignorant fucks that do things like blame the President for what Congress does?

Someone else already quoted the second paragraph of the article, so the heavy lifting here has already been done. You know why young voters are mad at Biden, but have chosen to construct a strawman to knock over instead.

Do you suppose that abusive rhetoric rooted in dishonesty is how to get their votes or keep them in the party?

So far.

She was so politically inept that she didn’t take the electoral college into account. This is what happens when party leadership decides the winner before the primaries. They nominate someone who runs a coronation parade instead of a campaign.

This. Democrats are way better with ideas and policies that help working people, minorities, women, LGBTQ people, non Christians, and the middle class.

Now if they would get out of their own way and pass some.

They won’t ban the nazi flags that DeSantis’ supporters carry.

It’s all propaganda BS, but useful as a window into what the extremist fringe is thinking.

Thinking may not be the right word here.

If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed.

Republicans have long since demonstrated that they consider the capacity to experience shame to be a weakness.

Democrats are kinda beholden to public opinion

Are they?

Centrists consider their own entitlement to be reality itself and cannot imagine either of these happening.

Dammit, Netflix. I can’t cancel my subscription twice.

I remember the guy Adobe put in charge of the Flash plugin on Linux whining in official public facing communication about how difficult it was to work with “minority browsers,” which he clarified to mean everything but Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows.

How is unabashed fascism a good sign?

It means Democrats can move even further to the right and still be able to say they’re the lesser evil.

If you can win without the left, you can lose without blaming them.

The people who screamed that Sanders was too old have stopped caring about age now.
