US Midterm Election Megathread II: The Stretch Run Begins

[Washington Resistance Army]

Sure it is. Plessy would still be the law of the land if that was the case.

False.

[Post War America]

Then why are you in support of stacking the court with Evangelical theocrats?

I don't. I support stacking it with originalists and textualists.

I have seen a number of "textualist" arguments. Conservative appointments seem rather worryingly willing to overlook Republican antiprotest laws.

[The Black Forrest]

Sure it is. Plessy would still be the law of the land if that was the case.

False.

And you would be wrong. Unless of course you have a source for your argument.

[San Lumen]

Yes, I'm sure Gavin Newsom dedicated his entire political career to pissing off and gathering salt off of some anonymous poster on the internet. Planning on beating Jesus's record hanging on the crucifix? :^]

It's almost like demographic groups are a thing.

And California is a majority non white state at this point. Meaning your man Cox has virtually no chance of winning.

That's such a stereotype and borderline racist.

[Washington Resistance Army]

False.

My source is that literally the entire legal field considers it to be one of the worst decisions in history because of how nonsensical it was lol, right on the same level as Korematsu and whatnot.

How is it in anyway racist?

[Trajkov]

The idea of a balanced court is overrated. Living document types have no place on the court.

Times change. Textualists have no place on the court.

No such thing anyway. Judicial philosophy is a farce, it's all just motivated reasoning. It would be better for the country if we could get passed the mythology of the neutral arbiter, and recognize that the conflict in the courts is at its heart a political and moral conflict.

[Freezic Vast]

That's such a stereotype and borderline racist.

How is it in anyway racist?

How is it not?

[San Lumen]

How is it in anyway racist?

How is it not?

Your the one who made the claim so tell me how its racist because I don't see it.

[Great Franconia and Verana]

I am assuming he feels that treating non-white voters as monolithic supporters of Democratic candidates and policies as being racist.
This ignores the fact that large majorities of non-white voters do support Democratic candidates and policies however.

Err Newsom is white.

Cox won't make it for many reasons. Anti-abortion. Hard core Christian. Club for Growth. Anti-LGBT. Anti-Enviro. Pro Gun. Pro wall. Anti social security. Indecency rule., etc. etc.

Being white is not why he won't be elected.

Err Newsom is white.

Cox won't make it for mean reasons. Anti-abortion. Hard core Christian. Club for Growth. Anti-LGBT. Anti-Enviro. Pro Gun. Pro wall. Anti social security. Indecency rule., etc. etc.

Being white is not why he won't be elected.

I am well aware that Newsom is white. Cox won't be elected for those reasons as well. His positions alone make him unelectable.

Except he's not that extreme as You all say he is.

"all"

Plz stop conflating Lumen with the whole of all left-wingdom, I know it's a novel concept but whats true for one isn't true for all.

[Telconi]

Except he's not that extreme as You all say he is.

Facts don't lie

Cox is not factually extreme ...

[San Lumen]

Facts don't lie

Cox is not factually extreme ...

His positions are not in line with a majority of California. He has no chance of winning. Hes not going to make inroads into the parts of the state nessacaery for victory.

[Freezic Vast]

Facts don't lie

Opinions change, and those comments that were said go as far back as the early 2000s.

Kind of like how the Democrats have no way of winning the Senate.

Here is a question for you.

In previous conversations, you have said that elected politicians should do what the people want, based on polling.
Should that not follow then that Cox should be promoting availability for abortion since 57% of Californian's support the abortion in most or all circumstances?

[Valrifell]

Now you're just gunning for things to get under his skin.

[Myrensis]

Bah, we can just expand the court or recall Kav and Gorsuch if we really wanna toss everything out the window.

The Republicans aren't leaving us much choice. Expanding the court or recalling them to tilt the balance our way would be 100% as legal, Constitutional, and ethical as Republicans declaring that they will simply no longer entertain SCOTUS nominations from Democratic Presidents in order to tilt it theirs.

There is a higher chance of them winning the Senate then John Cox has of becoming Governor of California
