Fuck Kyrsten Sinema and her fucking curtsy.
I know it was during the $15 minimum wage vote and not the ACA vote, but this thread reminded me of it.
It's not about the House or the EC, it's the Senate. 2 more reliably R senators makes things worse
Primary and secondary schooling is just practice to be good little worker bees. That's why conservatives view college/tertiary school as iNdOctrINATIOn cEntERS
Completely agree on people not understanding statistics. See: most of the polls showing a slight edge to Harris, but with a 3 to 4 point margin of error, being taken to mean that Harris had it in the bag.
SOMETHING HAPPENING 49 OUT OF 100 TIMES IS STILL VERY LIKELY!
But you yadda yadda'd over the best part...
They won't need to pack the court. Alito and Thomas will retire in about 18 months, just after having upheld a national abortion ban. They'll view it as their crowning achievement and walk into the sunset as GOP heroes. Then they'll be replaced with like-minded ideologues in their mid-40s to ensure that the right wing of the court will remain intact for at least the next 20 years.
If they packed the court, they will have just opened the door for Dems to do the same. Instead, they'll leave it at 9 and dare the Dems to do something about it.
And when the economy tanks, him and his rich buddies will be right there to buy everything for pennies on the dollar, putting the screws to all of us even harder.
Don't forget the simple greed from the corps.

! That TV is about to crash harder than Kobe's helicopter...!<
Yes and no. California isn't done, along with a few others. The numbers will continue to go up for both of them, and Harris will close the gap, but all in all it won't change things too much.
