Here we go again
interesting that the countries which always "interfere with democracy" happen to overlap with the same countries that the CIA have historically targeted for multiple decades and never from the countries which actually observably interfere with US politics and media like Israel and China
42 million people have already voted, 30% of the entire 2016 count with 12 days to go.
F*** voter suppression.

Some a****** at my work was bringing this interference s*** up on a call today and I had to fight myself from asking if he could chime in on what happened in Iran in 1953
if the supreme court is packed I don't see what really stops the GOP from just packing it more (which they will inevitably do) if they receive a majority again afterwards? Trump and McConnell already stupidly set precedents with EOs as well as in congress (i.e. withholding votes on legislature) that will clearly be re-used by future democrats in ways the GOP will abhor, but if the Dems do the same thing inversely, i don't see what really prevents the GOP from then just using those precedents themselves. The way our legal system works you can't just do something once then disallow the precedent from ever being used again.
Oh I don't disagree with you at all, however I just see the alternative of NOT packing the court as more damaging to Dems/progressive policies now and for years to come.
If they don't pack the court, there will be so many rulings to destroy voting rights passed down that it will become incredibly difficult for Dems/progressives to ever win back significant power. At least by packing it now they can get favorable rulings while it is packed that help set precedent.
And also, again as I said in my original post, this is all contingent upon adding DC and PR as states imo. If you pack the court and don't add both of them you run a high risk of either losing the Senate or Presidency or House or all 3 in the next 2-4 years, which could be very problematic for the effectiveness of the court packing. With them, I think the Dems could hold onto some veto power long enough to prevent the GOP from flipping the court around themselves for a good amount of time.
Btw, if Dems want to do things like pack the court and add DC & PR, they are likely going to need to flip 5 (or maybe even 6) Senate seats (unless Doug Jones somehow managed to hold on).
That's going to be extremely difficult, especially with this year's Senate map.
Jesus this really could be a bloodbath
damn a whopping 9 electoral votes together
will the debate and Sudan+Israel agreement push Trump over the top? let's see...11 days boys.

Another awful poll for trump. He won Montana by 20 in 2016
I mean is it really awful if he’s still winning?
