I've spent decades watching the GOP propose the most extreme policies imaginable to force their opponents to settle on a "comprimise" that's 80% as bad I want an opposition party that does that, but for good

This post is unavailable.

dems need to get the fuck on TV and start proposing the most extreme Supreme Court changes imaginable so that expanding the court seems like a modest compromise

We're so fucking bad at comprehending the Overton window. Just for once I'd like to *start* negotiating from, like, not a surrender

while not to the same degree thanks to corporate ownership conflicts of interest, clever dems could exploit the ad engagement chasing shitty press to help them in this endeavor, just like the GOP does

Republicans bitched louder about a republican coming in 3rd in the L.A. mayors race than Dems did when the GOP SCOTUS canned the VRA. Dem leadership cares nothing about the Court. They just want to fund raise and keep their jobs. They care about nothing else.

they are a decorative opposition party, correct the pressure to rebuild it needs to be relentless

Dems need to find their own Mitch McConnell first, or else that expanded court is going to go form 6-3 decisions to 10-3 decisions.

Yup, and their own Leonard Leo, quietly funding the choices.

It’s a floor wax and a dessert topping!

Congress should repurpose the SCOTUS building as a woman’s health clinic run by planned parenthood and the Supreme Court has to meet and deliberate in public at a public hospital ER waiting room.

I have extremely mixed feelings that platner is the only one who has called for impeaching justices this far

Ugh. Nauseatingly mixed.

The Supreme Court should be made up of all ex-Presidents still living...

Man. That would get so many AR-15s fingered.

@jdthom.bsky.social

It’s more difficult to bribe a majority of nine thousand than nine, so I am in favor a Supreme Court with nine thousand justices.

I think @masnick.com is spot on with the push for 100:

Yes well, establishment Dems are too beholden to their donors to say anything. Vote them ALL out.

I worked for Greenpeace in a past life and used to joke that Sea Shepherd was one of the biggest reasons Greenpeace accomplished anything on the issues where we overlapped.

@jeffreyd.bsky.social

I agree we should expand the court but why aren’t republicans expanding the court right now to ensure Dems never get back in power?

@christopherburns.bsky.social

This, this, this. Dems love to walk 10 paces toward their opponent before negotiations begin. They can’t get enough of that shit.

@dialabama.bsky.social

Yep… 💯

🎯🎯🎯 Totally. Trial balloon that shit, starting NOW while stuff is fresh and shocking.

Instead they're out undermining the further left edges of the party and telling voters they're somehow mistaken in their desire for a more gutsy and honest party

@liesldawnb.bsky.social

Yep, we need to play the "move the overton window" game like they do!
