If you're an unwinnable candidate you don't drag your party out of power - you step aside.
If you're party central you don't block state's access to candidates for one unwinnable man - suicide.
The Democrats are running Biden to block and lose for Trump.
I mention both because I cannot fathom an organization as powerful as the DNC blocking other candidates for a losing candidate unless losing is the goal.

You don't get to let your President blow off the orchestrators of an executive driven insurrection and your congress keep 147 insurgents for two years and keep a democracy.
The judiciary, the legislative, and the executive - including the DOJ and DoD are all compromised.
Ginni Thomas was part of the actual insurrection. Her husband arbitrates in conflict of interest.
Mike Flynn was an orchestrator and is orchestrating further violence. His Brother Charles was part of the crew blocking aid to the capitol. He now commands the pacific army.

This is going to be a tough slog bc despite having voted for, and won, a full majority, the power to rid us of fascists in govt - our leaders chose instead to embrace them and in doing so they made themselves the minority.
It's academic at this point - everybody knows it's true.

The more legitimately you treat the illegitimate the more legitimacy you give them. The more power you give them.
It's not just about the SCOTUS but about all bad actors manipulating the masses regardless of party.
This is how they go from being laughed off stages to brutally removing those who mock them from an audiences.
They build legitimacy through promises, lies, deceipt and money.

How does it jibe with people the Joe Manchin, while certainly raking it in for his positions, is a rogue Democrat when it is the Democrats who chair him on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Chair, a conflict of interest for a coal man?
“Yes, they’re listening to the immigration activists,” Cuellar told “Fox News Sunday” in an interview, referring to the White House. “But my question is, who’s listening to the men and women in green and in blue?" politi.co/3KcJUgG via @politico

We're being overthrown by fascists, losing our rights state to state, facing a coming global food shortage, our elections are under siege and - let's talk about insider trading in Congress 🧐
Mind you the already had law on it and violated the fuck out of it.
But yeah sure...
Here's the law I was referring to, the stock act (clever ya? 😐)
In 2017 Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, unable to gain the 60 votes required to nominate Neil Gorsuch, set precedent by overturning the ruling of the chair.
2/
He did so by simple majority, to alter the rules of the filibuster, something normally requiring 60 votes, and thus eliminated the filibuster for SCOTUS nominations to pack the courts. npr.org/2017/04/06/522…

I don't think imagery of war etc need be overt gruesome but I disagree that shocking imagery does no good.
Examples:
Images from Israel of bombings and "settlers" sparked great outrage. Once they stopped - all went silent.
Images of George Floyd's death sparked mass protest.
And the inverse of people putting their fingers in their ears crying "stop - it's too negative - show me kittens" is just a part of the post-truth fascist enablement everyone is engaging in with polishing the failures of this admin to contain the previous one.

A people should know when they're being fooled with absurdities.
But when media, institutions and even the highest levels of govt are doing the punking it's apparently pretty easy to piss all over everyone and get them to defend your statement that it's raining.
And the best conspiracies are the incredulous ones.
It's a reliance on ppls faith in those entities along with gobs of 'defenders of the conspirators' trolls to constantly tell people to have faith and shame them if they're not easily sold. Shut dissenters up -- discredit them.

Well I don't know what we're going to do.
We're not just splintered, but a large number of people are in a 'refuse to believe the evidence before them' state.
I see people attacking a woman who went to f'ng TX and raised over 40m for the Cruz/Abbott utilities victims and tried to leverage them a people oriented BBB bill, and praising a woman who handed Trump one impeachment acquittal and possibly two.

Congressional subpoenas:
We watched Trump/Barr laugh in Pelosi's face for over two months and all she had to do was add a due process rule to the House and use congress' constitutionally granted inherent contempt.
⤵
I think the court even turned her away on the grounds that the House had inherent contempt - use it.

Many are celebrating an infrastructure package at the expense of the loss of democracy. And worse, at the ushering in of a mafia state using a fascist playbook.
We cannot organize bc opposition trolls and very real people are selling ideas that critical thinking is eating your own or that dissent makes us just like the right wing.

This is the Dem plan, BTW, to push BBB with rotating villains Manchin and Simena and let us scream and argue about them and about items we won't see bc fascism is assimilating us while we're distracted by the theatre. If Dems had one gram of concern you'd hear "fascists!" not BBB
Pelosi, Schumer and Biden instead repeat bipartisanship with fascists.
The whole thing is a show and they're not stupid or incompetant.
They've all seen many coups in other countries and know exactly what they're doing.

Right wing politicians in America are a faction who's mission it is to destroy democracy.
Until you make that the frame through which all other opinions of them and arguments pass, you will never begin to understand who they are and why they do what they do.
To appeal to the emotions and shame of those who's actions are intentional and as much a part of their cause as is the cause of war casualties by us in the name of preserving democracy, is a fools errand.

1. From April.
NPR notes a bill introduced in the House to expand the courts.
As yesterday's SCOTUS shadow ruling to lift the rent moritorium demonstrates, they are a threat in need of checking.
npr.org/2021/04/15/987…2. Of course the court packing Republicans are going to call it court packing.
Because they don't want their packed courts unpacked.
They are at war with liberal democracy. They are winning. They can smell the blood in the water.
So why is Pelosi, yet again, aligned with them?

People and their exotic pizzas.
I confess I do like mine with pineapple but truly the best pizza in the world to me is just a basic freaking pizza like I remember as a kid before atrtichoke hearts and gold leaf became a thing.
Some ppl are like - no! it's gotta be deep dish, 20 cheeses, crust filled with cheese. Wild goose and merange with enough pepperoni you cents see the ocean of five sauces beneath it.
Im sorry but those are not pizzas.

Wray and Garland are allowing national security threats, J6 organizers, to continue building support and recruits for their next coup attempt on this nation.
Biden is allowing Wray and Garland to continue working for our government knowing these things.
Have people read these unholy laws they're passing?
I read GA's SB01 and R's can effectively hijack all positions of election authority to the end of appointing an election czar that can toss votes at their discretion.
Tell me this is okay.
