In a social media post on Saturday, a writer for CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" seemingly celebrated the damage done to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's reputation during his bruising and bitterly partisan confirmation battle.
Bingo. The Democratic Party’s problem isn’t that it’s too far to the left, it’s that, outside of wedge issues like transgender bathrooms/gay marriage/police brutality that only affect a small number of people, it doesn’t have any ideals it stands for anymore, its only strategy to win elections is by crying foul about how mean the Republicans are. That’s why the Republican base was so much more energized than the Democratic base in 2016.
The fact that Flynt Michigan had a higher voter turnout for Democrats in the primaries than it did in the actual election speaks volumes. A huge amount of rust belt voters who had been life long Democrats saw no reason to bother with voting for Clinton.

Better late than never. Politics have forever changed with Trump, there’s no going back, so adapt or die.
Whining betas are ing hilarious.
Why Barrrack and Hilda are so silent?
You’re old and you’re going to die soon

Dont agree with this at all tbh
You really think things can go back the way it was? When in human history has that ever happened?
There have been plenty of blips on the radar so we'll see and i hope a bunch of nasty partisan bull isnt going to be the norm through the next fifty years.
I hope you’re right but I think you’ll be disappointed.
It has been the norm since 2009. It's not going away any time soon.

This is the Democrats' favorite Supreme Court Justice — She's so old and weak that she can't even keep here eyes open during the State of the Union
Imagine if President Trump were passing out like that
libs so mean

Your posts here mostly boil down to iden arian grievance and resentment of some kind, and btw, you shouldn't underestimate yourself, you're a tremendous whiner.
lol yeah I miss the days of polite disagreement during the Clinton and Bush administrations. Unfortunately I missed the really polite times of the 60's and 70's.
Sarcasm aside, politics really haven't changed. It's just the media and the way we consume it that has changed. I always find it funny whenever people on either side wish for the good old days that never existed.
McConnell filibustered more of Obama's judicial nominations than had been filibustered in the entire history of the nation before that. Stop trying to normalize that piece of .
Former Yale Law School Dean: Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Is An ‘American Tragedy’
Robert Post warned that Kavanaugh, a Yale alumnus, will undermine the Supreme Court’s “claim to legitimacy.”

Yep, SCOTUS is now fully, instead of almost, illegitimate, completing "judicial capture" by the oligarchy, to complement the oligarchy's "regulatory capture"
Christine Blasey Ford Can’t Return Home Due To ‘Unending’ Threats, Lawyers Say
“We thought it was bad back in 1991, and it’s even worse today,” Lisa Banks, another of Ford’s attorneys, told MSNBC.
“This has been terrifying, her family has been through a lot,” Ford’s lawyer, Debra Katz, told MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt.
“They are not living at home, it’s going to be quite some time before they’re able to live at home.
The threats have been unending, it’s deplorable.”

Here's where we need some real murderous pushback by antifa on you CBF haters.
But of course the CBF attackers don't have the balls to attack other than anonymously.
Partisan politics has been the norm since the 90s when the Republicans tried to impeach Clinton for getting a blowjob, but the big turning point imo came in Bush v Gore when the Supreme Court made a ridiculous ruling that the justices themselves admitted had no legal precedent and was fueled purely by political stance. Since then it’s been a partisan pissing match that McConnell ramped up to new levels in 2009.
"Partisan politics has been the norm since the 90s"
the scorched-earth partisanship is often tied to Newt Gingrich getting into Congress in 1978, playing a big role in the St Ronnie Useful idiot storm of the '80s, and then House leader where he shut down govt twice to counter Clinton
I read an article by long-time Congressman who said in his long career, he never saw anybody who was so obstructive, no-compromise, destructive as Gingrich.
But the Repugs as a whole were being paid by the decades-long oligarchy strategy, so Gingrich arrived on fertile ( -stinkin) ground.
