2. The Democrats have been guilty of this since Obama got elected.

Once Obama got elected and McConnell said his main goal was to make him a one term President, that set the tone for the next 16 years. That is not doing his job of working for the betterment of the people. Which, by the way, really started with Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton. They get away with everything and continually block Progressive Legislation. Obama could not replace a Supreme Court judge with 10 months left in his term, but they rammed ACB through in the last couple months of Trump's term. They have been playing dirty politics, McConnell especially for almost two decades now. When will the Dems learn they cannot work with these people and just find a way to get around them. Biden should have expanded the Supreme Court when he had the chance. But maybe he thought that wouldn't be fair. I am willing to bet by the end of Trump's term there are 13 Supreme Court Justices. Ten of whom will be conservative, way more so than Alito and Thomas. We have been wading neck deep in GOP shit since Roberts Court stole the election from Gore. By the time Trump is done, this country will be too.
