This SC Nomination, this moment right here

[TDale313]

This is the payoff so many Republican Donors and voters have been waiting for. It’s why they have stood by an incredibly flawed party. It’s their end game. And Senate Republicans know this. And they know (and I truly believe this) that if they don’t deliver now, they’re done as a party. Cause the ones propping them up have waited
decades for this moment, and many will be absolutely done if Senate Republicans don’t come through. So they’ll take the hit for being hypocrites and gamble that this is the better option for them, cause not doing it is game over.

Our focus may well have to be looking forward and making them pay as much as possible at the ballot box,

1. Agree. Unfortunately

2. Yep

3. The moment was 2016

Too many couldn't be bothered. They'll reap the whirlwind now.

[TDale313]

5. Yep. Unfortunately, so will the rest of us ☹️

4. So it sure would be great to find a way to make them fail their masters on this.

I don't think there is a way, but if it can be found, it should be pursued - for exactly the reasons outlined in the OP.

[TDale313]

6. Oh, yeah.

If there is any way, the Senate Dems need to pursue it. Take the gloves off... this is for all the marbles.

7. We should do both, fight against this nomination, and do everything to win the WH, and both houses

of Congress, and if successful in the election, remove the filibuster, make DC a state, restore the voting rights act, pass healthcare that includes a public option, that these pieces of garbage can’t repeal, protect the CDC, FDA, and NIH from political interference, protect Roe through legislation that privacy between a person and their physician is sacred, enact a jobs program, environmental rights, civil rights, workers rights, rebuild alliances with our allies, protect the post office, etc, etc, etc

A lot of things, and maybe just a small two year window to enact it

[TDale313]

8. Oh, agreed.

And I would argue protecting voting rights has to be at the very top of the list, cause you can’t fix any of the other issues if people can’t vote and know their votes counted.

9. No argument, voting rights is paramount
