      For his scotus pick? Yeah. It was his right - and the by extension the right of the clear majority who voted for him, winning the popular vote and electoral college twice comfortably - to pick a successor to Scalia.

      Trump plays hardball. Democrats roll over. If this was a democrat ran senate with trump as president and they tried to block his nominee he’d retaliate by holding their federal funds hostage. Democrats would immediately roll over.

      I’m so fucking sick and tired of democrats taking the high road all the fucking time. What has that gotten us? democrats don’t protect institutions. I can’t believe they ran on that bullshit with Harris. “Protecting democracy”. Bullshit. They’ve had decades to protect democracy and at every turn they prove themselves to be a bunch of fucking pussies. Democrats allowed gore to roll over to bush 2. Democrats allowed Obama to roll over to republicans blocking his scotus nominee. Democrats allowed the justice department to slow roll the J6 investigation and never actually get anywhere with it.

        I said you blame rape victims, “She should have fought back harder.”

        You said I didn’t read so I clarified that you meant Obama should have fought back harder.

        You then doubled down and agreed that you blame victims.

        Just because a rape victim didn’t fight back hard enough doesn’t put ANY blame on the victim.

        The Republicans are the rapists. Stop blaming the victims for not fighting back.

          Can you stop bringing rape victims into this you weirdo?

          Obama could of held funding to Republican states as punishment. Just because you lack imagination (typical liberal) doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to fight back.

          That’s the problem with democrats, they’re always the victims. They never wanna get their hands dirty and pull the same shit the republicans pull.

            You can’t stop blaming the victim. It’s completely entrenched in your mind set.

            People doing evil are the ones to blame. That’s it.

              Keep being manipulated by Americas permanent political victims who once voted into office suddenly become powerless to do anything but business as usual. ”Nothing will fundamentally change” - joe biden after being elected in 2020

              Liberals are fools.

              Enough with the rape comparisons you weirdo. It’s not the fucking same, it’s not even close. Democrats are not powerless victims. They choose to pretend to be powerless to uphold their class interests under capitalism. Maybe if you were raped - like I was - you’d know the fucking difference dipshit.

                I didn’t mention rape in my last reply.

                Republicans are the ones doing it. They are to blame.

                Stop voting Republican.

                  Well that’s easy, I don’t vote Republican. Except for my state treasurer, who explicitly wanted to go after blackrock and sadly lost. Their democrat competitors platform was the same empty mealymouthed bullshit.
