Yes and most democrats would prefer her to be president rather than Biden. So make our day Republicans!

When she finished her effort in the primaries she had about 2 or 3% support. Do you have any real evidence and proof that "most democrats would prefer her to be president rather than biden"? It sure does read like a false and misleading statement.

After Trump moves on and the loonies that follow him waving guns disappear, there might be a chance for a more caring, more responsible, more peaceful nation to arise. We need a government that does the right thing for people, not corporations or the people who have everything already 3-100x over. How about all people just getting a fair deal, a chance to feel security in life. How about that being the message America projects to leaders around the globe. How about being a leader and example for other nations to do better for their average people. We can do better and everyone should around the globe.

Don't be too happy. The resistance begins January 21.

 

It's a pity the SCOTUS didn't allow it as if the election was won fair and square Biden would still be POTUS come Jan 20, but the matter would be settled. Just refusing to take the case means that the accusation of fraud will not be going away any time soon. 70 million angry Americans is not a good way to start a term.

However, IMO there are around 70 million Americans that will feel aggrieved, and do everything they can to bring Biden down.

 

And you honestly think the SCOTUS actually hearing this BS case would have placated some of those "70 million angry Americans"? Seriously??

As usual, you should find a better source for your news.  She's got a better rating than Trump.  Who would have guessed? LOL

According to the NBC News Exit Poll of those voting early and on Election Day, just over half of voters nationwide — 51 percent — see Harris in a favorable light, while 43 percent have an unfavorable view.

IMO most democrats would have preferred Bernie Sanders, they were just too worried Trump would beat the socialism drum. Bernie seems to be very quiet lately.

Had Bernie been the candidate IMO it would have been a landslide victory and we could have avoided all the BS. Had I been able I'd have voted for him. I like that he wanted to stick it to Wall Street, but that's probably why he wasn't on the ticket- IMO too much of a threat to big business.

 

Bernie will probably be thinking of what might have been. No way he'll be given another shot IMO.

Don't you mean BERNIE? Trump is no socialist.

It's 222 to 211. The GOP only has to take 7 extra seats in 2022 to win. You may indeed win lotto.

Like you, I would have been celebrating the  consequent appointment of progressive judges. The kind who would protect workers and curb corporate overreach. The opposite of Trump''s selections.

I was a worker and dislike corporations. No quarrel with you on that.

They don't have to be progressive to do that though.

Agreed.  Bernie would have been crushed.  Too many Americans are brainwashed as to his policies. 

 

Even now, the Dems in the GA senate race are facing accusations of them defunding the police.  It's a dog whistle for Trump and his supporters.  But not true.

 

Radical liberals!

I'm just wondering what BS Trump is going to tweet after effectively being told to get lost.

Most activist democrats yes.

But most democrats aren't activists.

Again between Biden and Harris most of all democrats would prefer Harris.

Bernie's presidential ambitions are finished.

He will try to push Biden to the left if the democrats manage to win both Georgia senate seats. Otherwise why bother? Nothing very lefty would have any chance anyway!

2 of them did mention it in the decision.

 

Alito and Thomas said they would have allowed the application to be filed but....that they then would have denied any remedy.

 

In english that means they think it was ok to have a hearing but would have dismissed it.

If this guy Trump would have invest half of the tensity and determination he spent to save his forgone concluded presidency in trying to beat this Covid business, he would have been remembered fondly as the president who at least tried and not just the one who tried to save his backside... 

If 45 had put a half vast effort into the virus instead of lying about it, he most likely would have been re-elected.

What kind of weird alternative reality are you living in? Trump and his acolytes are definitively and comprehensively "licked" after this decision. This is the end of the line for them.

 

What possible further recourse do they now have? Please do tell.

 

Even the two justices who said they would have allowed the lawsuit to proceed, immediately followed that by saying that:

 

Quote

they would not have granted Texas any other relief and expressed no view on any of the issues raised in the lawsuit.

 

So the ruling was essentially a unanimous rejection of the Texas claims.

And what's wrong with that? You've accepted countless "false and misleading" statements from trump during the last 4 years so you'd be a hypocrite if you didn't accept it from someone else.

He should be investigated for his lackadaisical coronavirus management. Lives are lost because of his mishandling and leadership deficit. That’s not even inclusive of his lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Oh wow - I've just seen in that same article I quoted earlier, what the next step is. According to the Texas GOP leader, it's secession from the Union!

 

The crazy is strong in this one.

 

Quote

In response to the ruling, Texas GOP chairman Allen West issued a statement that continued to suggest widespread voter fraud in the election, for which he offered no evidence, but criticized the court and suggested that Texas and other states secede.

 

“Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution," West said.

1 and 56. The Supreme Court is the highest legal authority in the land. No lower court can consider the seditious nonsense again.

 

In the end, democracy won, sedition lost.

 

The lollipop is down to the stick, 100% licked.

You've misunderstood my meaning, Trump would have labelled Bernie a socialist or communist.

In Australian politics, Bernie would probably be centre-right in the political spectrum.

I ROFL when Americans start talking about socialism, they haven't a clue what it means and have never tried it. They are also blissfully unaware there are democracies around the globe where elected socialist governments have introduced lasting reforms. Which the USA could well do with, their health system is shambolic.
