Presidential election years and midterms are different for a reason.

Approval doesn’t mean not voting for. The same way disapproval doesn’t mean not voting for. It just means not liking the handling of.

Georgia and Texas weren’t in anyone’s calculation to get to 270 for Biden.
2018 was not your typical midterm breh.

i was shocked and concerned for a few mins and then i thought about it and said bring it on. status quo is biden appointing a liberal justice in 2021 and it's still 5-4 conservatives. i want the repubs to blow this "tradition and senate decorum" shyt to smithereens and go for 6-3 (and replace their 2 oldest justices while they are at it). put the dems backs up against the wall so they are FORCED to pack the court ... and make it 13, 7-6 and say we told you not to fukk with it. why will their backs be up against the wall? if they have the court for a generation, anything you pass legislatively and is signed by the executive will just be overturned by the those fukkers on the bench. packing the court is the only option.
there will literally never be a better chance to blow up the system than this :yeshrug:

republicans dont like it in february? shouldnt have gone along with mcconnells hypocrisy in october. they cant say shyt

Did Biden come out threatening fire and brimstone, or did he come out with some more mid?
Mid, but it's early.



Joe Biden is calling for the winner of November's presidential election to select Ruth Bader Ginsburg's replacement on the Supreme Court.

What he's saying: "[L]et me be clear: The voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the Senate to consider," Biden said. "This was the position the Republican Senate took in 2016 when there were almost 10 months to go before the election. That's the position the United States Senate must take today, and the election's only 46 days off.
I think the fastest justice ever confirmed was 47 days, and the average is closer to 70 days, and so we should do this with full consideration, and that is my hope and expectation of what will happen."

We had the highest midterm turnout in like 5 decades. The Dem primaries had huge turnout even with this pandemic.

Independents are not voting Trump. He’s routinely losing indies.

He’s stuck at 43-45%. He can’t win states like PA with a plurality like last time. Not with the lack of 3rd party and with Biden consistently around 50% in all these PA polls. Sure it can swing. But evidence so far says this is not a popular president and Dems should be able to beat him in PA where he won by 44k.

Hes under water big in Michigan and Arizona too. I can't find many ways for him to get to 270

And how are you factoring in the pandemic?

Mitch is going to end up sacrificing his colleagues and maybe even Trump to push this through.

I think he goes through with it before the election. It will be very unpopular but this will be his final defining moment.

He would absolutely risk the reelection for this. If he fails to push through a justice and Trump loses, it would be a lose lose for the GOP.
