I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

If you “play by the rules” in a system in which the Supreme Court takes massive bribes and decides rulings and invents new illogical rationales solely based on their side winning — you’re always gonna lose.
Mr. Christopher Hain (@mrchrishain.bsky.social) reply parent
The other side breaks the rules all the time. We cannot win by sticking with the rules. That’s never been how this has worked in America. The Supreme Court has always been bullshit. Pushing this to constitutional crisis BEFORE the election would have been way better.

Trump had so many things he could have been jailed for. Yes a judge would have had to hold him. But an aggressive strategy designed to get his bail revoked should have always been part of it. Just one of Smith’s many missteps.

This is a potential catastrophe. Starting this has prompted the GOP to more aggressively gerrymander their states. If it fails, the Dems are in an even bigger hole. The problem is not CA counter-gerrymandering. The problem is going to voters when they are not.
