look, I have no particular beef with joe biden, but why the fuck do we let anyone serve in the senate for 36 years? Why the fuck we do let anyone hold any office for that long?

Honestly, it doesn’t really seem like he meant it. He’s just shooting the shit. He’s not gonna do it.

I’m down, and if he and Colin Powell want to spend the interim 4 years doing a reality show where they race cars all across the USA, meeting constituents and solving the occasional crime, I’m down with that, too.

Love ya, Uncle Joe, but you’re 74, and will be 78 in 2020. Time for the torch to pass to a new generation. Find a good candidate and put your moral weight behind him or her.

“Without the EC, cities would dominate our government.”

This is one of those moments that makes me wonder about democrats...are we stupid? I feel like we might be.

If anything these faithless electors will create such a crisis as to abolish the electoral college. And these fuckhead conservatives who keep saying that the electoral college evens the playing field are fucking racist. That the most densely populated areas shouldn’t control the government. Why the fuck not? Why is a…

How long have you been carrying that chip on your shoulder? It seems heavy.

*Raises hand* Hey! I know this one... I just finished a mandatory sexual harrassment training class for my new job.

if these actually do overturn anything, wouldn’t that prove that the entire system has run its course? better to protect the illusion of the institution than start over?

“You don’t get to change the rules because you lost according to the rules you previously agreed to.”

“We have a Senate that has refused to act on a Supreme Court vacancy”

pretty much. We’re trying so hard to protect the peaceful transition of power and the legitimacy of fair and free elections despite all of the voter suppression that’s gone on... what’s the point?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re already having a Constitutional crisis.
