Yeah when it comes to moral responsibility everything is the fault of Donald Trump and the people who voted for him Fine You're supposed to be leaders, you're supposed to play defense and strategize in the face of hostile political forces, it's your entire fucking job

She also literally thought she was the only one who should be in the damn chair, though. She refused to retire out of ego.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/18/rbg-fires-back-against-critics-who-say-she-should-have-retired-under-obama.html …

...Yes, because you need a majority to change procedural rules like the filibuster, and in 2016 the Democrats were in the minority They could've nuked the filibuster *in 2013, when they were in the majority* It's not actually complicated

Brett Kavanagh is a Justice now, as is Amy Coney Barrett, because McConnell DID nuke the filibuster in 2017, FOR EXACTLY THIS REASON Do you think that only Republicans get to change the rules, like it's their special superpower and we just have to accept that
