  • I voted for Harris.

    But can you explain exactly how things would have gone differently in Gaza other than the rhetoric if Harris had won? She was all in on the genocide just like Biden, Pelosi, Schiff, etc.

    Just because Harris was clearly the better choice overall doesn't mean she (and Biden) wasn't and isn't dead wrong about their fealty to Netanyahu.

  • I was trying to shout out that your username is Madison, it came out a lot bitchier than I wanted it to, sorry.

    But I do think it's a valid argument. The assumption from the Federalist Papers that the different branches would not cede power to one another because of their desire to hold it themselves has proven to be untrue. Factional loyalty to GWB, then to Trump, has driven Congress to ever-greater depths of obesiance.

    There's no argument, imo, that SCOTUS is not at least as loyal to an external faction (ironically, to people calling themselves Federalists) as Congress, and actually even more corrupted by money.

    Therefore, I think a morals/behavioral based argument that SCOTUS will want to preserve their power in the face of a tyrant from their faction isn't convincing.

  • I appreciate you cosplaying as a coauthor of the Federalist Papers, but I think the "institutional jealousy" theory of the balance of power has been comprehensively shredded by the behavior of Congress since about November 2000.

  • I told one of my friends that I'm being looked at differently in crowds now, and he just said "no you're imagining it".

    Many people just do not believe what trans people tell them. At all.
