Remember in 16 when we were told the Supreme Court wasn't important

1. Meanwhile

It was why a lot of RW people came around to voting for Trump that year even though they didn’t like him in the primary. Trust me as I live around and know a lot of RWers.

2. A certain individual who loudly

advocated against voting for Hillary Clinton in 16 was on TV yesterday condemning the latest SC decisions. I really wished the interviewer had pointed out that they helped make them happen.

5. Even today, his utterances are taken by some to be supplemental Commandments.

I fiund his action ten years ago to be detrimental to Hillary’s candidacy, and was terrified most of all what it might mean for the Supreme Court if she were to lose. Of course no one in the summer of 2016 thought she would lose—with one major exception: my wife, who isn’t even American.

She saw TV screens in airports, etc., showing nothing but anti-Hillary speeches 24/7 (almost exclusively CNN, no Fox), and she said then: “you Americans might be in for a big, ugly surprise. Your media is burying Hilary and giving their airtime to her opponents. She is in trouble and none of you realize it.”

10. FYI The person I'm refering to is

11. My bad. I was thinking of someone else.

Ironically, the one I was thinking of probably ultimately DID vote for Hillary. I would hope, anyway.

17. No way. I cannot imagine that.

A journalist tells a story about interviewing someone shortly before they announced running for president. She realizes the candidate didn't know how to get what they talked about done and quickly became irritable and brusque when asked for more details. The journalist had been told that this person doesn't know anything. She agreed with that assessment. (The journalist was terribly harassed online for her reporting that year to the point of real fear -- which we are assured was all in our imagination.)

The Revolution Nonesuch song and dance show is still playing.

18. OK, I must have misunderstood one of the inserts

Same person after all. That description is hard to misread!

[betsuni]

20. I saw someone interviewed on a podcast praising Trump because he told people the system is broken,

that's why he won, whereas Democrats are out-of-touch and too busy partying with donors, enjoying fancy cocktails and horse d'erves. One guess as to who broke America.

I get a headache even thinking about it. Then I come here and see post after post trying to make us scared of a few Democratic centrists. Ooooooh, centrists. How terrifying.

24. 1.) The Curse of the Internet: The Stupidities of Total Strangers, The Likes of Whom....

We were blissfully unaware pre-computers. WTH CARES what some jerk in Boondoggle, Alabama, thinks?!

2.) Nobody is "afraid" of Centrist Democrats, at least, not if they're like me: dismayed; disappointed; disdainful. No guts, no glory. No D-Day. No New Deal. No NASA. No Medicare.

Why did the chicken cross the road? So as not to get run over in the middle of it.

23. Dude has bought his own bullshit

He is half as smart as he thinks he is.

33. I change channels or mute the tv when this asshole is on

[tblue37]

34. Who?

[SocialDemocrat61]

35. This guy

[Jokerman]

6. That has been the main problem since the 70's

The number of people I know and have crossed paths with who are strict republicans because they are anti choice is staggering.

I'm not saying we should give up on women's rights, hell no, we should double down on equal rights and quit pandering to people who will never support us.

3. It was the purity police

That argued against the importance of the court with both the election of Hillary and also with Al Gore.
The “We want something that is not on the menu crowd” brought us here.

They are setting up the pins to do it again.
Party unity is more important than ever before because the house is on fire.
We can argue about the color of the curtains later.

22. I have no idea of which you speak and to what you refer.......

HOW COULD ANY DEMOCRAT ARGUE "AGAINST THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COURT" REGARDING AL GORE, CONSIDERING THE 2000 SCOTUS DECISION FOR BUSH?!

Unless you refer to irrelevancies as Sarandon and non-Democrats as Nader, neither of whom loom in any manner any more.

[FalloutShelter]

25. During the Bush- Gore election

MANY of my liberal friends did not want to vote for Gore and did not… even after many arguments for the court. SAME SHIT with the “I just don’t like her” crowd and Hillary.

We self sabotaged both times because of the “I want something else” crowd.

the SCOTUS was not enough reason.

Has the party learned that lesson?
Party unity is the number one consideration in a Presidential election. You can’t win without it. That is my point.

28. And isn't it interesting that they require purity for certain Democrats

but for other, not so much.

[dlk]

4. A glaring example of how the double standard harms us

Women candidates are routinely judged much more harshly than men.

[QueerDuck]

7. I still fume remembering Sarandon boasting that she "didn't vote with her vagina"...

... because she truly believed the Supreme Court didn't matter. What a cozy, catastrophic ivory tower she lives in while millions of women pay the price for her smug purity test.

[mcar]

29. I was called a vagina voter right here

[QueerDuck]

31. I'm not surprised. I'm disappointed... but not surprised.

[mcar]

32. It was an ugly time

Thankfully, the main perpetrators were shown the door by Admin, especially after they were told they couldn't refer to HRC as the "c" word.

[MineralMan]

8. You weren't told that by me, I guarantee.

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. I never thought so!

[Just_Vote_Dem]

12. Isn't she the "bowl of shit" person?

What a doofus

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. I think that might be

Nina Turner

14. Whoops

Well, two peas in a pod as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks for the correction
By the way, I really enjoy your posts, thanks for everything

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. Thank you

Nice of you to say

[BlueTsunami2018]

16. No, I don't remember that at all.

In fact, much of the prevailing argument was that even you didn’t like her, the Supreme Court was of paramount importance so hold your nose and vote for her.

[DemocracyForever]

19. GOP controlled SCOTUS started this nightmare in 2000

The GOP controlled SCOTUS started this nightmare in 2000 with their anti-democracy, unconstitutional coup known as the Bush vs Gore ruling. This is why our country suffers so terribly today. Anyone who ignores this ugly truth is living in an alternate universe.

[ColoringFool]

21. No. No, I Don't. Why Would A Democrat Ever Think This?

[mcar]

30. In '16 the "Hillary is a warmonger" crowd said this

26. Hillary was right-The Supreme Court was on the ballot in 2016
