There are two possible options that can save us now:

[JohnSJ]

1. A Covid variant that only attack republicans
2. We all got off our butts and vote Democratic up and down the ballot in a massive turnout.

I think point 2 has the best chance

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Re. GOTV

Get plenty of Dems in the Senate and re-elect Joe Biden to change composition of SCOTUS and relitigate and overturn this case.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. 2...And hope red states dont say they can assign electoral votes however they want

and point to the Constitution to back it up.

I heard two things I was not sure of:

1. there is no guarantee to the right to vote in the Constitution

2. there is no requirement states assign electoral votes based on a popular election

13. Both are true

States can assign their EVs how ever they want to, and the right to vote isn't specifically in the Constitution (there are only amendments specifying the right can't be prevented on account of being a woman or by race --- other reasons would be fine).

26. Colorado assigned them to Rutherfraud Hayes in 1876 without an election.

Sadly, there is precedence.

3. I'm up for either

option.

[MFM008]

4. I already got kicked

By covid. ...it is bipartisan I assure you.
Let's try the other thing.

[Xavier Breath]

5. Me too, twice.

They say shingles doesn't care about your healthy habits, but Covid certainly doesn't care about your politics.

[JohnSJ]

7. Sorry about that, but my suggestion wasn't the bipartisan one

[sheshe2]

6. I'll take #2 please.

I think it is the only workable one. ☝️

[usonian]

8. Keeping it simple.

9. I'm with JohnSJ. I'm tired of all of the whining. Shut up, get of your butt,

campaign like you life depends on it (I literally believe that is true because I find Trump that scary), and re-elect President Biden.

End of conversation.

[Fiddlelady11]

10. # 2

I’m in.

[Pototan]

11. I don't have a problem. I like both options

[Lem1951]

12. Covid death rates

As shown in 2021 after the vaccine was available the death rate for Repubs was significantly higher than that for Democrats. That will be the same for any new resurgence, because vaccination rate by party have not changed.

[mchill]

14. The way Republicans politicize viruses

Number One has a value added opportunity. Tgey had masks and social distancing.

[Silent3]

15. I'm all for Plan 2, just not brimming with confidence that it'll be enough...

...with massive numbers of idiots out there voting too.

[chowder66]

16. All I can think about right now are all the apolitical people who have no clue what is happening.

And the ones who think their vote doesn't matter.

[ancianita]

17. Anthony Fauci said in his book that the covid death toll of Republicans was much higher than that of Democrats.

So I'm going with both.

[BonnieJW]

18. This ruling may be the kick in the arse

everyone needs to vote Dem. It's frightening

[Trust_Reality]

19. Vote. Vote. Vote. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But...

It is clear that six Republicans on the supreme court have chosen to shred the most basic purpose of the US Constitution. They are complicit, active members of the right wing coup.

The president took an oath. He promised to "preserve, protect, and defend the constitution".

He needs to get his ass in gear and do that! God damn it.

The court has given him immunity. So, short of ordering them killed, he needs to do something. Revoke their citizenship, deport them is my best idea.

[birdographer]

23. Or just get rid of them

Have a SC of 3, or make the majority sane and rational instead of those purchased and owned by trump. He has been given a gift to act with immunity, so I really hope he does something with that.

[LostOne4Ever]

20. Option 3 is a world ending collision with an Asteroid

But I agree option 2 is easier!

[COL Mustard]

21. I want people to remember how angry they were

When the Court overturned Roe two years ago. I also want them to remember how angry and in despair they are today.


I want people to turn that anger, and that despair, into their votes and to use that anger and despair to get their neighbors to vote, of course for Joe. Personally, I'd crawl over broken glass to vote for him and I encourage you all to be as pissed off as I am.

[niyad]

22. Both together would be nice. Or some completely new, fast-acting virus.

[AllaN01Bear]

24. i nominate choice # 2

[pansypoo53219]

25. bs. its july.

27. If anyone's looking for a new hobby, I suggest getting into drones.

While you can.
They're fun and relaxing and can even deliver wonderfully surprising messages and things to all, well, most kinds of people you know. If you ever wanted to give that special someone something that you worry may get lost by Fedex, the Mail or DoorDash, these can give peace of mind.
