    To be fair I think the donkey heads have had multiple opportunities to fix things and I still think RGB was a selfish idiot. I really don’t know what the elephant heads are thinking in the long term, the only reason they don’t landslide lose because of this is because the donkey heads do everything they can to make progress at the pace of a geriatric snail while preaching controversial stuff on purpose.

      OK tell me when RGB could have resigned and have us get another Dem in? When Obama was in? Sure only he only had the majority for 4 months and he was trying to get a health care plan through? And he had enough trouble with getting one Supreme Court Justice in, and failed, do you really think he would have gotten 2 in? She hung on hoping for an overwhelmingly Dem win in 2016, which is what all the polls told everyone would happen, only a bunch of fools thought protest voting was a thing and that the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for President should lose to a hate filled businessman because she didn’t have a penis. So she should have retired under Trump? Given them a Republican on the Supreme Court 4 years earlier, no instead she did the only thing she could which is hang on as long as she could spending her last days trying to stay alive long enough for us to rectify the mistakes we made and she almost fucking made it.

        … the most qualified candidate in the history of people running for president…

        You do realize that she was extremely widely disliked right? You do realize that we got Trump because the Democrats wanted a stack the deck in her favor by giving air time to the looniest sounding opponent? You two realize that despite all that, she did not have a clear win?

        She was so qualified that people thought that the" you’re fired" guy with connections to the mob or whatever, dealings and cover ups with a pornstar, and (at the time) widely talked about connections with a foreign power… Got into the white house?

        And you have a gal to blame people who exercise their democratic right to vote? Fuck you. It’s people like you who are the reason that we’re stuck in this polarized two party system.

        As for RGB, yes she should have retired under Obama. The Republicans did all kinds of shenanigans to get all their supreme Court people in, and it’s okay when they do it, but the Democrats have to fight clean or whatever, so now Row v. Wade is gone
