"Proffer a strongly worded capitulation" was probably too much for publication.

Or scientists know how to count and see that one number is larger than another; and understand that that's an important factor in many political systems.

		interesting how that logic only applies about half the time.

You have about as much political power as a US party in the minority of all three branches. Mind letting us know what you’re going to do about it?

The republicans can have 1 senator in the senate and they somehow shuck and jive to get their way. They never fucking lose in implementing their outright evil. Break some rules, use strategy, set up some game pieces. Do something, anything. The democrats couldn’t even get a Supreme Court justice seated with 6 months to go for the next election.

		> 1 senator… Oh, please, that’s not true. But yeah, you need 60 seats there in order to just ram things through. Right now Democrats don’t even have a plurality of the voting public so it’s not surprising that they are completely powerless. > Democrats couldn’t even get a SC Justice… On this one though I’ll fully agree with you, they were 100% ratfucked on Garland’s nomination. In no universe was that more than 0% ethically justified. That was a craven and cowardly scheme.
