    His end is similar to Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

    Held on too long to power and totally fucked their legacy.

      This is as wrong as two left shoes. Retroactive alt-history with the benefit of hindsight can solve anything, congratulations.

      I’ll point out that identical “logic” can condemn Bernie Sanders for the Trump Presidency.

        but it’s not retroactive. people called for rbg’s resignation at the time. a lot of the establishment pushed back, including herself. they pretended it would be bad for the court to do such things for political reasons.

        democrats love to lose. they live to lose. they talk civility and pretend they’re above politics. the whole entire fucking thing is political I’m so sick of these people. politicians pretending they’re above politics is like a plumber who pretends they’re above plumbing. they’re useless.

          And yet they’re so good at beating progressives in the primaries and the caucuses. They literally dump unlimited amounts of cash in defeating progressives everywhere they go. The only ones that get in are those like AOC whom nobody thought had a chance so they didn’t bother to slap her down. So they just put her in a corner in the Congress instead.
