      It's really that it's an established term from American history, so their messaging problem is that they need to avoid the association of what the most popular & successful president in the D party's history tried & famously failed to do.

      If a promise that every Republican Senator made four years ago not to do what they just did meant nothing, why in the world would Democrats care about something said 75 years ago?

      Apparently, norms don't matter, but they will start mattering again in deadly earnest on January 21st.

      Norms & historical precedents do matter. That's been my argument all along. And they don't stop mattering because you don't like them.

      When most people stop liking norms and historical precedents is exactly when they stop mattering Dan.

      "Most people" here meaning online progressives. On Court-packing, the public opinion polling is heavily against it - almost as heavily as it was in 1937.

      Okay. No need to argue against then. Right?

      Only to remain vigilant. Free speech, free exercise of religion, right to bear arms, & due process are still popular, but that doesn't mean we have to stop reminding people why, or we lose those arguments to progressives, too. Look what happened to free trade.

      Well, I think a lot of people are trying to tell you that the GOP just did lose the argument against court reform. We understand why it's gonna take you a while to come to grips with the consequences of what y'all done did. You'll get it eventually.

      We will have that fight. As of now, the voters are very much against it, which is why Biden & most Senate Ds are terrified to campaign on the issue even though they are hoping to do it later.

          The future of the electorate is just not against a fair court. We could see the "closet" deep red and rural voters shock this nation soon. In the end, I think this appointment will simply be a growing pain on the path to a more just society.
