All these left wingers crying blue murder over Judge Barrett being nominated for the supreme Court. Why are they so sexist?
they can cry all they want she's going to be appointed, why doesn't joe tell us who he would appoint?  Maybe The squad  haven't  told him yet .

Some of the squad are cute, but the right wing obsession with them is starting to border on pathological.

Difference between the Republicans and the Dems is that the lunatics have taken over the asylum in the GOP.

Mitch McConnell appears to be happy with that trade-off, but when they start rolling back gay rights and pushing women back into the back alleys for abortions, a backlash will be forthcoming.
hopefully one of them will be going down for ballot harvesting or at least marrying her brother.

Gay rights and Abortion won't be rolled back. The GOP would be punished badly until it it gets overturned.

Marrying her brother? What are you on about?

Chief Justice Roberts has been trying to rein in the culture warriors over the past few years, siding with the four liberals on some important decisions which upheld various hard-won rights and legislation. Unfortunately for him, the new appointment is going to render such efforts futile. Its out of his hands now. His court is about to go full whackjob.

Hopefully what is to come over the next 5-10 years will be the last kick of white christian America trying to impose their minority reactionary worldview on everyone else.

I have to ask - what is going to replace white christian america and what sort of changes can you expect to see?

I'll probably regret this, but what are you on about?

Sure didn't ya know - Ilhan Omar married her brother and had people associated with her "caught" harvesting votes by convicted criminal James O'Keefe and his widely discredited Project Veritas outfit.

A multicultural society where its ok to be gay or transgender or non-white or non-christian.

Its already there in much of the country.

But a significant minority feel that their right to discriminate is being discriminated against. They happen to be a major constituency of the GOP and Trump's base, and being a more rural demographic than their liberal opponents, they wield power beyond their numbers due to the quirks of the US federal system.

O'Keefe has reared his head again? Figures.

I'm sure his absolutely not-edited or doctored video will make a huge splash this time!

Although, he does have an enthusiastic conspiracy theorist in the White House at the moment who'll no doubt lap it up.

Isn't ballot harvesting legal in many states?

Trump retweeted the Breitbart story about it of course.

It is legal - and is currently legal in Minnesota where O'Keefe's story was based.

ok. I always had the impression that it was already fairly open to all races and genders and it was more a numbers thing.  Barack Obama did manage to become president so it can't be that discriminatory.

And as soon as Obama became president there was a massive racist backlash against him based on nothing other than the colour of his skin, and that backlash is stronger than ever now in 2020

The achievements of outstanding people of colour in the face of a system stacked against them do not demonstrate that the system is fair, they demonstrate that these people of colour are undeniably outstanding people who could not be held back by even a rigged system

Trump is manifestly not outstanding, except in awfulness - he's the very definition of useless white privilege

Obama's election in fact demonstrated just how much of a white supremacist system America still is

No offence but that's like something a child would say and completely refuses to engage with the point, which is undeniably correct

In 2008 there were all these empty platitudes about how race supposedly no longer mattered

What happened subsequently proved that totally untrue, it was proven that the opposite was true

Race was in fact the most important dividing line in US politics and America was as white supremacist as it ever was, and what's more, the white supremacists were now emboldened

Donald Trump was a nakedly white supremacist backlash against the "affrontery" of a black man winning
