President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.

    Ah yes, it was us the unmotivated and uncaring general public who gave Republicans every victory and are responsible for a branch of government we have absolutely no say in determining, nominating or appointing outside of our ability to “vote blue.”

    Yes, that’s exactly right. You gave Republicans power, now give democrats even more power to fix it.

    Also, Hillary lost because she was an uninspired candidate who didn’t really try and arrogantly thought it was in the bag.

    Translation: “I wanted another candidate waaaaaahhh”

    That’s a weird way of saying “Hillary Clinton was the candidate who won over the democratic voters in the primary”. The democratic voters chose her, nobody else. If you didn’t like her or her way of impressing voters (“inspiring candidate”), you maybe should have run as a better candidate and convinced the democratic voters yourself.

    You might want to read up on this stuff called “elections” and how this “democracy” works. Spoiler: It’s not what just you want.

      Again, the election was hers to lose and she did just that. You are the one who’s still pulling your hair out and blaming the entirety of the American public for not voting for her. Trump was like her hand picked candidate to run against and she whiffed to an illiterate serial rapist who used the word “big” 3 times per sentence.
      Get a grip. The last person who used the “I kNow yOu arE But whaT Am I?” defense was Paul Ruebens and you don’t have the gas nor the shoes to pull off that bar top dance. Truly astonishing to talk to you through this time portal all the way back in 2016. Move on with your life.

        Didn’t vote for Clinton, gives Republicans 3 more Supreme Court justices, then blames democrats when they get overturned.

        Yep, found the Trump supporter. You’re no leftist at all, you’re just LARPing.

          Whatever you need to tell yourself to support your delusion.
