    They would be exposing the hypocrites. They already look look like fucking morons for losing to trump, again, so not much to salvage there. Tell me any American could not miss the message when democrats stop the confirmation, roll out their own fake electors, and confirm kamala herself. Hell, have biden make it an official act because why not? Any person to object to it could not be totally lost on them this is exactly what Trump attempted to do and will not be punished for it.

    Now, anyone knows this plan will fall flat. That’s not how these things work. It would just stir the pot so brilliantly it might actually get the little brain cell they are guarding to light up.

      Exposing hypocrites never brings any real gain, only an opportunity to get upset.

      Now please don’t get me wrong: getting upset might be worth it for many, many people. Getting upset is one of the highest valued things in our time.

      Lol, no.

      The world doesn’t work like this.

      Who would get fired up who wasn’t already on side? Independents or those on the fence would just note that the Democrats were pulling the same nonsense they just spent four years crying fascism about. Right wingers would just see confirmation that the rules don’t matter. On the Left, the adults among us would see this as a stupid, hypocritical temper tantrum with no possibility of success and a further erosion of democratic norms.

      This would be super unhelpful.

        I disagree entirely. I would see the GOP get a taste of their own medicine and the DNC not be pussy bitches too afraid to serve it. Like it or not, your measured, “adult in the room” shit isn’t working and most people just feel condescended too. It’s of little consequence because what you have yet to accept is the door is shut already and the hissy fit would be honestly the last opportunity for the left to do something.

        They won’t.

        They’re punk ass bitches.

        Just like you.

          To do what? This would accomplish exactly as much as when a toddler has a tantrum in the grocery store.

          “Oh no, the Dems tried some nonsense that doesn’t in any way inconvenience us, whatever will we do?!? Anyway.”

          If you think highlighting the hypocrisy would jolt people, I again remind you of the Supreme Court fun with Garland and RBG.

          All this does is make it harder for people to take the Dems seriously next time.

                The people you should be taking seriously is the right. They’ve crushed the dems at every impasse. Every power struggle since Regan the right has won out completely. They are playing for keeps and for you now to condescend to me at the height of their power, it’s a fucking joke. You lost. You’ll continue to lose. You’re playing checkers they are stocking ammo.

                Fucking joke.

                It doesn’t have to be that way, you know.

                The morals you espose, come from a place they don’t have. It’s a weight, it’s hard. Lift the weight and toss it aside, it’s holding you back. You don’t have anything left to fear. The worse has happened. There’s no reversing climate change. There is no American democracy to even go back to, it was a rigged game from the start. Unburden yourself. Use that wasted energy for a limp dick party like the democrats and join the rest of us in the new world.

                  And the thing you are espousing is a stupid plan that doesn’t help change anything.

                  If republicans are that dangerous, don’t help them by throwing a pointless temper tantrum that erodes support.

                  This isn’t complicated kid.

        Yeah, and they fucked our country so fuck them. If you were “on the fence” about this election then you simply dont desrve voting rights. Your opinion does not matter anymore.

        Right wingers would just see it as confirmation that the rules dont matter

        Cool, nothing changes.

        On the left, the adults would see this as stupid, hypocritical temper tantrum

        Ah yes, the adults who have gotten so much done with the erosion of our democracy since 2016. Bruh fuck “the adults” too, you guys failed us. Get out of the way and let actual progress happen instead of considering maybe possibly giving ukraine a little bit of funding but definitely giving isreal nukes to use on civs.

        You people who want to work within the law while republicans consistently evade it are at best a waste of space. As worst, you are actively convincing people to simply pretend the issues are going to solve themselves, cause god knows you and your party wont.

          Ironically, this is how a large swathe of the country feels about those who voted for Harris.

          Kid, we couldn’t even get a majority of Americans to vote with us this time. Hystrionics and temper tantrums are not going to make things better.

              Ahhh good “people won’t listen to the things I want so violence is the answer.”

              When you’re espousing the same political philosophy as Al Qaeda, you should reassess.

              That being said, I said some stupid shit when I was a kid too, hopefully you grow out of it and help us actually make things better.

                K, so im not going to engage with the age related trolling, as i am very likely opder than you, and your attempts to belittle me very much strike me as a childish response to the the fact that you cant argue against the complete ineffectiveness of your policies.

                But, since you have conceeded actually arguing your point in favor of being childish, I guess theres not much more here to discuss. I hope you enjoy wasting your and everyone elses time with your virtue signalling as the world goes to shit, really hope it helps you sleep at night knowing you are acheiving nothing but making yourself feel righteous.

                  If you’re an adult saying that violence is the only solution because people don’t agree with you, that’s fucking terrifying.

                  Honestly, no trolling, if that’s what you sincerely believe to your core, there are all sorts of therapists. If you are an adult, odds are you have some sort of coverage that will help fund that. Otherwise, there are at least free resources.

                  That’s the kind of shit most folks grow out of by their 20s except for a dangerous few who go on to do horrific things (none of which have ever helped their cause outside of the basic goal of terrorism which is to make things worse for everyone.)

                    He’s just a moron that plays video games all day, so his frame of reference is a fictional world. He seems to think being obtuse online makes him appear strong and therefore smart. He’s basically a Trump voter that missed a memo along the way.
