all the people who stayed home or voted third party in 2016 because they didn't like Hillary for whatever stupid reason they could think of. Of course James Comey and the Russian collusion also played a huge role in in the illegitimate outcome of that election, but the purity tests were a big factor in creating our current mess. Don't forget that the losers of the popular vote and senators who represent a minority of the population are the ones who installed the right wing majority on this court. And if anybody thinks that they will stop with this horrendous decision they haven't been paying attention for the past fifty years. All the rights and freedoms that were fought for and earned since the '50s and '60s are now on the chopping block in the near future unless we expand the court and align it with the vast majority of Americans.

(506 posts)Mitch McConnell cheating Obama out of an SC appointment, and his ramming through justice Amy's appointment. The people 's right to vote for who they prefer isn't the problem here. It's the old turds already in power gaming our whole society.
And then there's the illicit influence of Russian hyper conservatism. But it's hard to separate the two.
Come November let's abort the republican party.

(16,950 posts)Actually, that mentality went way beyond what was necessary to ensure people didnt like her. The disinformation campaign about her came from all sides, and Trump copied it all and ran with it.
Hillarys Supreme Court wouldnt do this.
