Another judge who fails to see the Post-Constitutional moment we’re in.

Shedeur Sanders is really about to be the most hated man in the NFL. In addition to anybody who doesn’t like his attitude, he’s now getting both the anti-woke crowd due to pundits questioning if his race is a factor *and* the anti-Trump crowd.

If only Trump spent more time firing off NFL takes and less time on the economy, we might get this thing turned in the right direction.

So Trump approval rating is in the gutter. Republicans gonna win house in 26?

Will they beat AOC in 28?

AOC in 28 with a brand new playbook is a terrifying thought.

AOC in 28 with a brand new playbook is a terrifying thought.

But she’s called out this playbook for being unconstitutional. Surely sure wouldn’t change her mind on that if the policies were ones she liked.

I believe she was one of the leading voices calling for Biden to ignore and defy the courts. Unsurprisingly i do not recall your objections then

I never supported those calls and it diminished my opinion of her. I think she’s got the right vision for how the Dems should be speaking to voters and where the party’s priorities should be, but her hyper-partisanship and justifications for the same behaviors she attacks on the right are a major issue.

I suspect you'll vote for her despite those concerns

Sure China is an existential threat to America’s golden age and all, but have you stopped to consider that TikTok is very popular amongst a surprisingly competitive voting bloc and they didn’t realize that when they started all this ban TikTok stuff?

Not in a primary, but it’ll depend on the opposition in a general. You have to admit the current Republican Party isn’t giving me very principled alternatives.

What incentive are you giving her to change?

I’m not in the business of giving people those incentives. I’m not going to vote for the party allowing Donald Trump to do all this just to stop AOC from maybe doing the same.

what tells you she would round up people based on skin color or shut down funding for cancer research ?

This is the trap we can easily fall down if we allow ourselves. A hypothetical President AOC would surely not govern with the same policy priorities as Trump, but if we would accept her governing in the same manner: ignoring court orders and bypassing Congress through EOs for speed and/or convenience, the complaints about Trump’s actions feels unprincipled.

Nah, he was referring to my preferences. Sturg surely wouldn’t enjoy an AOC presidency and isn’t asking how I think she’d change her policy proposals to be less progressive.
