MODERATORS
Their arguments are ridiculous. The state executed its right to select their electors. Congress has the power to remove the disability if supported by 2/3rds.
They are arguing that since they didn't impose the disability that the State overstepped their rights. This is not how the 14th was written.
Republicans putting forth ridiculous arguments? Shocking!
It's all about throwing shit at walls and seeing what sticks.
Democrats do it, too.
Yeah, sure, when Bob Menendez got dragged into court he had over one hundred sitting Democratic lawmakers stand up for him, and what he was accused of doing was way more serious than just trying to overthrow the government /s
The Democratic party isn't perfect, but you're out of your mind if you think they're anywhere near Republicans' level
No, they're both evil.
Democrats are just the lesser-evil.
The lesser-evil doesn't make them good.
A slow loss is still a loss.
I'm so sick of this dogshit argument. If your main focus right now is Palestine which side is the only one right now that has ANY elected official calling for a ceasefire. If it's not, then which is the only one that has ANY people demanding Universal Healthcare. Which one has ANY people willing to seriously deal with climate change. Which one has ANY people that care about drug legalization. Which one has ANY people willing to support unions. Which one has ANY people actually trying to reform the country instead if turning it into a fascist shithole, the answer to any and all of these is invariably the Democrats, specifically the (growing) socialist/progressive faction of them.
If you don't like the policies of the moderate Democrats then volunteer for your local party, most of the people running your county party are old as fuck, that's one of the main problems with the Dems. Vote in every single primary for the most progressive option. Donate to and volunteer for your progressive state representatives/senators. Help your coworkers organize a union and increase your lobbying power. Join a progressive/socialist election work group like Progressive Victory or any of the countless others. If you aren't doing at least one of these regularly, then you have no right to complain that the party isn't listening to you. You've given them no reason to.
