1) It’s not court packing, Democrats. Do NOT accept the premise. It’s representative democracy. The court should look like the people. Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and the new nominee are the anti-democratic packing—packing that subverts the will of the people.

2) @SenSchumer needs to show some testicular fortitude. We all know it should be Duckworth or Murphy or Schatz as the Democratic leader. Starting today, the line is: If his illegitimate nominee is confirmed, @JoeBiden and D Senate will expand to the Court to represent the people.

3) It’s the pandemic, stupid. 200K+ of our brothers and sisters are dead because of Trump’s homicidal negligence. That doesn’t have any less relevance now. The argument for @JoeBiden to choose the next Justice is connected. We need his judgment.

4) Only @JoeBiden will protect us from disease and protect the Constitution from Republican enabled Trump lawlessness. He is one who will deliver us the vaccine and restore decency and democracy.

5), Seriously, @TheDemocrats, time to put up or shut the fuck up.
