The death of RBG illustrates perfectly how dumb the "both parties are the same" argument is.

The stark difference between the two parties is never more evident than during the process to select a Supreme Court Justice.

Having Dotard select RGB's replacement a year or two ago would have been insufferable enough. However, he knows he's going to lose in November. Like an angry, vicious, spoiled child told to go to his room, Dotard will be more determined than ever to "get even" on his way out and foist a total scumbag on the American people.

BTW, this is why removing the "Nuclear Option" was a stupid, short-sighted move. Without the judicial filibuster, the reThugs in the Senate only need a simple majority now. We're potentially effed here.

It's just a vapid, meaningless talking point. Anyone who has paid attention anytime since the Reagan 80s knew it to be false.
