As opposed to, like, passing my own constitutional amendment because someone won't do it for me?

What exactly is a realistic path to make a real one happen?

[–] spongebue 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And that's an excellent segue to what I was going to bring up upstream: we only have so many resources to drive voters. There are plenty of relatable issues that can drive people to the polls so Trump doesn't have another opportunity to appoint anyone. Removing SCOTUS lifetime appointments isn't going to do it. But if we can keep a Democrat in the White House and control in Congress, we may still have lifetime appointments but at least there will be reasonably sane people in the court.

And before you say anything about a false choice fallacy, campaign resources and attention of the voting base are finite.

Certainly not in the current political climate. You think a good chunk of Republicans can get on board with that when they have a 6-3 majority in the court right now?

That will take a constitutional amendment, which... Good luck

I mean, some of your complaints are actually pretty valid but you exaggerated so much on pretty much everything it's hard to take you seriously

Teeeechnically that could mean Russia is threatening them over it, in which case they are threatened by Russia. But that's just me being a pedantic pain in the ass before bed.

That very narrow window of time where Kmart and hashtags both existed

Sounds like a "spectacular" failure to me

Ironically, you could use the meme template to say that somehow

I think I heard somewhere that it loses your microphone on Bluetooth, but I could be wrong. Just FYI.

It's not, but it's a common phrase and brings up a fair point even if the wrong way.
