Welcome to DU, violetpastille.

Frankly, I don't care who it's aimed at, as long as it WORKS. This baby boomer believes that if it helps us get the results we want, then that's all that matters.

Welcome to DU, Rizen.

THAT last one you mentioned is what REALLY galls me.

HOW on God's somewhat-green Earth does someone actually believe that both parties are the same? HOW? I need help with that one! Because I. Just. Do. NOT. See. It.

Good Grief! You'd think by now that nonsense would have been dispelled.

Welcome to DU, Icanthinkformyself!

Do you have a link for that video? I'd like to take a look. ANYTHING that will motivate them to get off their asses and give a damn about this, is a good thing.

Indeed.

Well, the question will really be - who sorta gives up and gets too complacent or discouraged to bother voting. The "meh, both the same/meh, what difference does it make/meh, what's the point" crowd. We unfortunately seem to have an overabundance of voters in that category, much more than the CONS do. It'll depend on whether most of THAT crowd gets amped up and ready to take a stand, or shrugs, gives up and goes home.

And why haven't WE had that working on OUR side.

Sure do.

You know what? There's NOTHING wrong with putting that black mark on his record

for ALL TIME.

Let him go into the history books with a VERY special and historic distinction. An IMPEACHMENT.

If we can get the House back, we’ll have the votes in committee AND on the House floor. It may not go anywhere in the Senate, but that big blemish will be the first sentence in his obituary. For ALL time.

Further, when these “wavering” Senators come up for re-election, we can hang their “yes” votes on Kavanaugh around their necks like mill stones. And maybe send them back to the private sector, installing better and more worthy candidates in those positions.

Frankly, if our Dems DON’T do this, if they slink back into their spinelessness, then they don’t deserve to have the majorities we voters may be about to hand them. The Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee gave me hope. I kept thinking “WOW! They’re giving us a reason to vote for them! They’re literally fighting to represent us. They’re actually showing a backbone! For a change! Some grit. Some guts. Not just shrugging timidly and throwing in the towel early and doing the infuriating “oh okaaaaaay...” cave act. Which has been the default position into which they always inevitably seem to fall back. Not this time.

Perhaps, also, this will FINALLY WAKE DEMOCRATS ALL THE WAY UP. The bad guys have focused on the Supreme Court for years by now. The deplorables got it, early, and even the most dim-bulb types were VERY aware of the Supreme Court issue. Perhaps our Dems will FINALLY WAKE THE FUCK UP! Meanwhile, if the bad guys get their way, maybe THEY’RE the ones who’ll kick back and relax and decide they’ve won, and the struggle is over and their job is done. Kinda like we did in the 1970s, after we got rid of Nixon and civil rights and women’s rights became a priority, the Vietnam War was ended, and we all assumed the fight was over and we’d moved the country dramatically forward. And then most of us grew complacent, assumed we could relax and let our guard down, and rolled over and went back to sleep. The bad guys DID NOT.

We Dems CANNOT afford to do what we did back then, and let the the other side of the aisle run amok while we think everything is settled and we got this and no need to worry anymore. It’s a shitty habit. It’s fucking LAZY. And NAIVE as all hell. We’re better than that, aren’t we?

Or are we?

Go get him, Mr. Mayor!

Well, I'd be embarrassed too if my own name were on it.

After all, this IS what is widely referred to as the Roberts Court.

My son who’s getting into watching politics theorized that it may move John Roberts to side more often with the liberals on the court, just to try to blunt all the shitty PR that’s begun to come the Court’s way.

Nice thought but I know better than to bet on it.

Awwww...

Nice to have a happy ending here and there. The news these days is SO damn grim.
