RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Repeal of Glass-Stegall of 1933.

Discuss.

I remember that. The school I went to was shocked and laughing because they called it.

Wow hyperbole much?

You have GOT to be kidding…

Let me toss out some 2016 polls just to illustrate. These are the latest polls from swing states taken right before the election:

Florida - Quinnipiac University - taken Nov. 3 - 6: Clinton 46% / Trump 45%

North Carolina - Sienna College - taken Nov. 4 - 6: Clinton 44% / Trump 44%

Nevada - Gravis marketing - taken Nov. 3 - 6: Clinton 45% / Trump 43%

Pennsylvania - Remington - taken Nov. 1 -2: Clinton 46% / Trump 45%

New Hampshire - Emerson College - taken Nov. 4 - 5: Clinton 45% / Trump 44%

The polls in 2016 showed very clearly it was a toss-up election.

Anybody who tells you “the polls said Clinton would win in 2016” has never looked at the 2016 polls.

“The polls”

First provide some background to which ones.

There were a few (even a more left leaning polling research group) that had Hillary losing.

It helps to not make your arguments without emotional reasoning.

Well, if you look at the Biden campaign ads and the Lincoln Project ads, it’s pretty clear Republicans do attack and smear ads way better than the Democrats - the Dems try, they just suck at it.

Plus, the Dems aren’t good at standing their ground on policies. They tend to, “compromise” by making concessions for Republicans. It’s pretty pathetic honestly.

I put as much faith in the polls as I do in politicians.

So wonder who trump is going to pick to replace her :clown_face:

Well, you should put more, because the polls are usually quite accurate.

199% this. Hypocrites everywhere man. Getting real tired of it.

We’re pretty much done now. The rightie majority on the Court will give the election to Trump if it’s challenged at all, and it will be. And then that’s basically all she wrote for democracy in the US. Y’all are going to get the god-king theocracy you so clearly want, even when you’re going on about “Ma freedoms!” when asked to wear a mask in a pandemic.

As are my predictions on how useful politicians tend to be.

It’s kind of sad when the heavily conservative/right wing Court votes in favour of a more left-leaning or liberal way. They still do on occasion push politics out of it, sometimes…

Gag.
The goal of socialism is communism. Lenin said it himself. A lot of people died under his fascist regime.
Disgusting that people actually buy into this horrendous way of life.
Begone.

That’s because Roberts knows that if he goes too far, the court’s legitimacy will be gone forever.

Your post would of been fine without the political nonsense thrown in.

They keep losing because their policies are trash. They would lose every election by a landslide if they didn’t have overwhelming minority support due to institutional welfare.

I find it sad that people like you think Democrat politicians are any better than Republican. They are all politicians, they are all parasites. The difference is Republicans don’t pretend to be morally superior.

Social democracy wants to make sure everyone is able to stand on their own two feet. One of the things it wants to get rid of is medical debt, as people having to choose between diabetic medication and heart medication should not be allowed.

A lot of people are dying right now in the US from medical debt, among other things.

It is due to our public education. Hopefully we will see huge reforms in that area. Our children need to know how evil socialism and communism are.

Some health care is better than no health care, and getting rid of for-profit prisons is also a good policy.

I’m sure there are some on the right that have very similar policies, but most of them seem to prefer a worse health care system than the ACA.
