    More like of rbg hadn’t been so stubborn and had actually stepped down when Obama was in office, we wouldn’t have a republican majority on the supreme Court.

        Because neoliberalism and republicanism are both terrible, and because the DNC is crooked as fuck

      Yeah, she totally should’ve stepped down so Obama could appoint… checks notes… Merrick Garland. Oh fuck, never mind I see her point

      Did anyone ever pay attention to most of the people Obama appointed to his cabinet? They were like hand-picked by Wall Street lobbyists.

          Obviously not. Wtf? You think someone who criticizes Obama for being a weak politician would support Clinton, a much tougher politician even more committed to neoliberalism? I see no reason to think she wouldn’t have wanted to appoint someone like Garland as well.

      Didn’t the Republicans stonewall approving a supreme Court justice for 18 months so that their guy, Trump, could appoint one. Then when rgb died they just ignored everything they did and said because they were in charge.
