During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

      What can your party do to appeal to them next time?

      Hint: it’s not “jettison marginalized groups” or “move to the right.” That got us here.

        You mean saying “I would do nothing different from Joe Biden” wasn’t enough to sway voters to vote? Wow what else could she possibly have done?

        I would have thought eating the same gruel every day would have prevailed over eating saute shit a la fascism. As it turns out, Americans aren’t good at binary decision making and some like to be imaginary revolutionaries.

          same gruel every day

          Enabling, protecting and funding blatant genocide?

              enabled more than one genocide, thanks to the non-voter.

              If Harris had ditched the genocide funders in the last weeks of the election she’d be president right now.

          You have the electorate you have. Appeal to them for the first fucking time or keep losing.

                I grow apathetic of the purity politics and blind gluttony of the left, yet as a progressive I am obliged to play their game? Fuck that. The price of ignorant bliss is suffering, and I refuse to pander to privileged electorates that think they can afford to play with peoples lives. This isn’t centrism, it’s giving up.

                  As opposed to a party that is taking advantage of a situation that lets them move as far to the right as they want without accountability.

                  This isn’t centrism, it’s giving up.

                  six of one, half dozen of the other.
