This ruling gives him the power to do basically anything as long as it’s through the office of the president.

And hey, if he “clears” the bench and replaced them with better Justices then the new Court can just decide to not hear challenges to his actions clearing the bench. Or, if they heard it, make a special ruling i.e. it was legal this one time but actually unconstitutional every time going forward. Or even rule that he broke the law and force him to resign, but still not reinstate the previous Justices. Lots of options for solving this problem.

With this ruling Biden can “clear” the Judicial bench and nominate new Justices, who would then reverse this ruling. One and done.

Now if you’re worried about civil war, yeah, that’s a legitimate concern. I’m pretty sure this ruling already puts us on the path towards civil war, though? As soon as we have another Republican president they’re just going to start killing people!

Is your answer to just never elect another Republican president? I hope you can see why that’s not going to work in the long run!

Yeah, and we defeated Medicare.

People aren’t going to vote for this. The country is fucked if they don’t replace him at the Convention.

He was literally four years younger in 2020.

We all saw the debate. 🙄

it will become evil.

So nothing will fundamentally change?

And instead of gracefully resigning due to his obvious mental decline and nominating someone else at the convention, Biden has decided he’ll take us all down with him.

Well, no, that doesn’t sound official.

He could drone strike Trump though.

He could drone strike all his enemies and their families to the third generation. He can do anything in an official capacity and there’s literally nothing stopping him.

he can do literally anything now wtf

Not seeing a condemnation of Israel anywhere in there.

C’mon

Well think about it from the Flatlander’s perspective! They can’t even perceive the cylindrical shape of their space. They wouldn’t be able to go behind the cylinder from their perspective, all they could do is go forward far enough that the shape of space hides them.

It’s not just semantics imo, cuz it would apply to us as well. If you’re ever confronted with a 4th dimensional being then the only way you can hide is to get far enough away. You can’t see the curvature of spacetime so that’s useless for you.

Sure, but Flatlanders still can’t hide behind anything in their environment. They’d be hidden by the very curvature of space, which is really the same as being too “far away” to be seen.

If Biden is the nominee the Democrats are going to lose.

There’s still time before the Convention! We can still fix this!

And you won’t even try because you’re a cynic and have given up.

Yup, as far as they’re concerned white girls need to become breeding slaves to save the so-called white race.

It reeks of sexual pathology.

Well, yeah. Once you add another dimension the one below it becomes “flat.”

I’m not “giving up”, I simply recognize the situation for what it is. I’m a realist, not a delusionist. Our situation is fucked either way, and the only choice we have is laid out plainly in front of us. We have the option of bad, or worse. I know what I’m choosing.

You are giving up, regardless of your reasoning. You think good things are impossible and we should just settle for less bad things.

This only guarantees that the worst outcome becomes inevitable. You create a shield for Democrats to hide behind that allows them to ignore calls from their base, which in turn obliterates voter enthusiasm and participation. When no one shows up to vote for your cynical candidates you have no one but yourself to blame.

You need to join us in forrcing the Democratic Party to listen to constituents or Republicans are going to win.

Distance still works! Think about Flatland - they can’t hide “behind” anything, but we still couldn’t see the people 20 miles away.

Deeply unserious. 😔

The act of campaigning only drags candidates down when they suck 😉

The very act of campaigning effects poll numbers. Figures like Newsom are pretty obscure outside their states.

Also there’s quite a difference between running against Trump as a Republican and a Democrat. DeSantis had to contend with his own Party being divided. A hypothetical Biden replacement would have the Party’s unified support.
