President Biden (considered the leader of the free world and arguably the most powerful person in the world) just took the opportunity to remind you that his party will fix this problem if you vote for them just one more time.
- Considering a vote for the other side is support for this problem he’s got a point.monospaced

- Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me indefinitely, forever...nb
- How is he wrong? Americans voted again and again for insane right-wingers like Trump...who then appointed the current Supreme Court.yuekit
- There's literally a direct link between who Americans voted for and this outcome. But people then laugh at the idea of voting as a solution.yuekit
- The Democratic Party needs a reboot.instrmntl
- Once again not a problem rooted in the democrats. Stop that please.monospaced
- yuekit, are you arguing that this ruling is the will of the people?nb
- The ruling itself isn't supported by most Americans, but it absolutely is the product of what they voted for...first they voted for Bush who appointed threeyuekit
- conservatives justices. Then they voted for Trump who did the same. Were they just not paying attention to Republicans' plans to stack the Supreme Court withyuekit
- right-wing extremists? Apparently not...I tried to bring it up but even on this site people were telling me Amy Coney Barrett was super qualified lolyuekit
- It seems bizarre to blame Biden or the Dems when in reality, if people had voted for their party instead this wouldn't have happened.yuekit
- The only party that needs a reboot is the one that lost its way to extremism.monospaced
- The timing sucked for Dems. The open SC seats were during Republican tenures. It was absolutely not the fault of the Dems. Just unfortunate.monospaced
- It also had to do with midterm elections -- if people hadn't voted in a conservative Senate majority under Obama he could have appointed another justice.yuekit
- There are some things you can legitimately blame the Dems for but with SC appointments it couldn't be more simple. You vote for the President,yuekit
- the President appoints SC justices. I don't think American public should let themselves off the hook so easily...in a democracy it is ultimately up to us.yuekit
- Yeah so the people voted for republicans and that led to appointments and that led to this decision. Democracy works, you’re telling me?!?nb
- To be clear not all presidents get to appoint SC positions. They have to be open at the right time. If RBG had survived until biden it would be diff.monospaced
- Didn’t the republicans refuse to even hear arguments for Obama’s SC appointment based on some BS about too close to the electionnb
- And then they changed their minds when it was their turn. Those fuckers. But they keep winning don’t they.nb
- Democrats aren't doing enough to stop Republicans. They need to do more than read poems, pass mediocre gun restrictions, etc etc.instrmntl
- Their first mistake was letting Republicans stop them from putting someone on the Supreme Court during Obama.instrmntl
- OK but what was the solution to that? Americans voted for a GOP Senate, Republicans then refused to let the nomination go forward.yuekit
- Why would you blame Obama? Between him, the voters and the GOP he's the one who was trying to nominate a liberal justice.yuekit
- I didn't blame Obama.instrmntl
- You implied there was more they could do, which is unequivocally false.monospaced
- You implied they only read poems. Also insanely ignorant of reality and flat out wrong.monospaced
- Sure thing Beninstrmntl
- Perhaps I don’t understand the point of condescension as a form of discussion.instrmntl
- *helpful forminstrmntl
- Sorry?monospaced
- I’m just saying that calling it a mistake is not accurate. They tried like hell to get the SC pick and it was blocked. Tragic but not a mistake.monospaced
