American Politics: Fiscal Cliffhanger

[Elwher]

That is what the entire concept of legal standing boils down to, so yes.

Groups have been filing lawsuits on behalf of others for a long time.

And, as in the abortion pills lawsuit, been criticized for it and argued that the suits should be dismissed.

And those people are just as wrong. The wealthy class and corporations would LOVE to have lawsuits only by those affected as they would win most. Nothing wrong with groups filing on behalf of…..

NAACP files lawsuit after Mississippi governor signs legislation expanding state control over Jackson’s judicial system and policing

To ask the same question often asked about the abortion pill lawsuits, where doe the NAACP find standing to legitimately file such a suit?

Most likely they are filling on behalf of a resident who has asked them to do so. Hence they are acting as the legal team of resident/multiple residents.

I think there was a dril tweet about this.

Excuse an old fart's ignorance, but WTF is a dril tweet?

No. An organization has representational standing if at least one of its members has standing and the interests involved are related to the organization's purpose.

Williamson has only posted 65 videos on TikTok, yet has drawn more than 11 million views, according to a TikTok data counter. But there are also endless Marianne stan (Maristanne?) accounts — @marianne2024winner and @marianne4prez among them — that post her speeches and rack up massive numbers. A scroll through the popular account @realdemocrat20 turns up multiple Williamson videos, all generating eye-popping numbers for her treatises on universal health care, corruption, gun rights, or abortion, including nearly a million views for whatever this is.

A recent poll found Williamson hovering above 20 percent with voters under 30 — far higher than she reached in the crowded 2020 field — suggesting the buzz on TikTok is translating into real support or that real support is producing the buzz on TikTok. “I am obsessed with it,” said Jessica Burbank, a leftist political TikTok star who posts as @kaburbank, of the Marianne mania.

This is but a trickle; a first wave of the massive flood of support coming for Williamson that will launch her in the White House in the first 50 state electoral sweep.

Tik tok isn’t representative. This is like saying online comments or subreddit can predict election outcomes.

Why is killing children by banning life saving healthcare acceptable?

It is not.

It is not? But it was done entirely legally. The correct procedures were followed. Surely you can't be telling me that it is unacceptable for a state to regulate medical procedures.

This wouldn't be the Bush years. This would be something else entirely.

You never know... The American public has gotten more interventionist since the Ukraine war so it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that Neocons might get a hold of the GOP again.

They will not. They aren’t even conservatives to some people.

TikTok may not necessarily be representative, but the article does clearly demonstrate that TikTok is either affecting or affected by actual popularity of candidates; the excerpt quoted by Pangurstan cites a poll, for instance.

I’d be shocked if Williamson got a single delegate.

Yeah, with her at 20% support for people under 30. But ask Ron Paul or even Bernie Sanders how easy it is to translate 'internet hype' into 'showing the fuck up.'

But even if they do, 20% of voters under 30 isn't enough to do jack shit unless you have a primary field that can also fill all the positions in a baseball team. If she became a third party candidate she might be able to translate that into that golden 5% they need for guaranteed ballot access and federal funds.
