It's how Bugs Bunny said "moron".

It was a male-targeted soap opera.

I see this a lot but until you can get rid of money in politics all this policy does is shift power to lobbyists who are even less accountable, because they become the keepers of long-tenured institutional knowledge.

One side appoints Justices that voted against Citizens United and one appoints Justices that voted for it. That's a huge distinction.

Every election since I could vote (early 2000s) has been the most important.

Why? Because the results built the Supreme Court that curtailed every progressive policy achievement and accelerated our current descent into fascism.

Without GWB you don't have Roberts or Alito. Without Trump you don't have Gorsuch, Cavanaugh, or Barrett.

Those fuckers have lifetime appointments. One lost election sets us back decades. The only good time for a protest vote is the primary.

If you scale it up you can probably send more than one right? Send ten and nine work. That's not nothing.

You've missed the role of the Supreme Court in this. The Justices appointed by the Ds have been against the worst of it at pretty much every opportunity and they have lifetime appointments.

That was the real cost of Trump 1.0.

All Trump has done is fire people and write executive orders. And he's had a largely friendly Supreme Court.
