2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

OK so she wasn’t the first to put her own personal legacy ahead of the good of people, so it’s all good then?
If she had simply step aside and let Obama replace her, we would not have this packed illegitimate Supreme Court.
That selfish decision continues to make waves, and those waves continue to hurt us the people. Those waves hurt the rights of women who once look to RBG as an icon.
Well, I suppose she is still an icon, an icon for selfishness and personal pride over the good of the entire fucking nation.
Oh but she wasn’t the first so it’s okay!
I commented elsewhere in this thread, but it bears repeating, even under Obama, Republicans were blocking nominations. Putting the current situation of the court with the benefit of hindsight, completely on RBG, is misguided.
Who’s upvoting these dogshit takes? I feel like you either had to be 10 years old or under a rock in 2015 if you actually believe this. Clearly all our problems are caused by well intentioned public servants not the literal fascists
