Reich Wing SCOTUS ruling against President Joe's moratorium on evictions is a

reminder that, unless Progressives manage to add to seats, every piece of Democratic Legislation will be vetoed.

This was always the ultimate plan by the Reich Wing.

voting, or voting third party, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Make no mistake, it did make a difference.

In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%. In those states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote

Yes there is and was a difference between republicans and Democrats, and the Supreme Court DID MATTER

Democrats...moderates, conservadems, progressives...all combinations that give us a majority are needed...the important thing is getting a majority. I don't see many openings for progressives to hand us a majority singlehandedly presently...we must win hearts and minds first and winning elections helps in this process. As an aside, I can't believe Breyers hasn't resigned by now...if he doesn't and we lose the Senate the righties could get another SCOTUS pick.

No worries about losing her comfy digs, although Sarandon's all-or-nothing mentality, along with others of her ilk, will cost many of lesser means dearly.
