I can accept that. I'm just hopeful that the growing mix of results forces movement from SCotUS on this and myriad other issues that Roberts may just not be able to keep the court "out of politics" on. We're hurtling towards the precipice and everyone seems content to play it to their advantage. I was not, for example, big on Dems propping up MAGA candidates in 2022. It was short sighted and has helped galvanize the insanity more than may have been expected. I've never had a lot of faith in American democracy, but I'll be damned if this unwillingness to really confront MAGA isn't sapping what faith I have left.

I’m far from a political expert but I can’t see the Supreme Court not taking up the ballet issue. Not letting voters decide seems fundamentally wrong and you’ll just see a chain reaction of Biden being taken off ballots don’t you think. Did dems really do much in 22 for propping up maga candidates? Not arguing just wasn’t really paying much attention at the time. I do think that type of thing is shortsighted too. I know they played a role in kicking out McCarthy with the calculation that chaos in the Republican Party would benefit their party and I thought that was wrong even if there is a benefit.

WB anytime I see you use bold and a larger font it’s pretty much a telltale sign it’s the opposite of a fact. Trump wants to use the military on us cities and ran up the deficit when he was in office. Check out how many said they were living paycheck to paycheck in 2019 vs 2022. Looks about the same and I don’t see anything that supports your 80 plus percentage.
I’ll never forget Jan 6 WB and your response to it.


Fair play!
