    What backdoor? They literally erased the voting power of black Americans living in the slaveholding States. It couldn’t be more obvious and overt if the ruling used the N word.

    Unless the “slamming” involves a head in a car door, or equivalent situation, can we please stop using this verb in mass media when it comes to simple criticism.

    On the same note, claiming that someone “blasts” someone else should include the use of actual explosives.

      They just want to keep Kamala’s name in the media…

      The wealthy are panicking that they don’t control the dnc, so we’re going to see the media keep acting like this shit does anything.

        Counter propaganda for that recent poll where Harris got “slammed” into 3rd place among prospective Democrats.

        Harris should have run for governor in CA to re-enforce her ability to win a statewide election. Should have been a layup for her. But you don’t come off an L like she delivered in '24 and expect to be a starter. That’d just be silly.

          The wealthy

          It’s not often used even in our hemisphere, but using “they” and clarifying in the next sentence has been around for a while, before Shakespeare and shipping criminals to your continent at least.

          It’s definitely archaic tho, and if I had realized I was doing it at the time, I probably would have changed the phrasing.

        She’s not allowed opinions of her own? Are you secretly a supreme Court justice with that nullification?

      I’ve always gone with “slammed” should be followed by “through the announcer’s table”.

    Shut up, loser. You and your former boss share blame for why we’re here. Get out of the way and support the people who want to fix it.

      I could respect her if she had tried to do something after the election, but she went radio silence when her voters needed her most. She could’ve been leading protests, reminding everyone of their rights, been arrested with her people, but no. She fucked off after losing, leaving people with no leader.

    God damn she’s pathetic. Even now she can’t actually say what it actually is, full blown, open racism from the Republican members of the court.

      Typical Corporate Establishment Democrat, gross. They have no idea that their party is leaving them behind.

      It seems like Jeffries is finally waking up. I’ve been calling for his head from the moment he was chosen, and I’m still a hater, but I have to admit that he’s been sounding different lately. I think the SCOTUS decision and the gerrymandering stuff has finally broken him.

      He was actually bitching about Democrats “unilaterally disarming,” and how it is time to stop doing that, along with a few other statements that indicate he might be finally seeing the light - MAGAs aren’t going to do the right thing just because you are polite to them.

      Now the rest of them have to get the message, and a good freewheeling primary is exactly the right arena. Bring in some righteously pissed off Progressives, and let them savage the Manchurian MAGA DINOs over their weak conservative policies that have handed our nation over to the worst psychopaths on the planet.
