Muslim Travel Ban Thread (6/26: SCOTUS voted 5-4 to uphold the administration’s ban)

The Bernie primary voters who made the shift were mainly independents and the big push behind Bernie being able to beat Trump has always been that he could steal those votes from Trump while the Dems voted for him...but looking at how disloyal the Hillary wing was back when she lost to Obama, yall are probably right that Bernie woulda lost to Trump after all.

Bernie and Trump's platform couldn't be further from each other. The economic anxiety myth has already been disproven.

You think maybe they just didn't want to vote for a white woman?

People I thought I knew well basically became activated sleeper agents once Obama won the second time. Talking about “he’s coming for your guns and is planning operation jade helm” type nonsense. Insisted he’d stage a Reichstag fire and suspend elections. One of them went on record saying explicitly they just want an old white guy in office again in those exact words. Some people can’t be helped. They wanted an old, corrupt, warmongering white guy in office no matter what the consequences.

If you could point out where I said anything about economic anxiety, that'd be cool...

I hate how partisan the courts have become. It's really just a sub branch of the Executive Branch at this point. Everything is a 5-4 predictable ruling. Hell Mueller could supenoa Trump and the Supreme Court would rule 5-4 in Trump's favor.

You talked about independent voters going from Bernie to Trump. So my question was, what reason do you think people jumped from a far left candidate to a far right candidate.

Feel free to answer.

Not sure there. They'd be stuck with that precedent if a democrat went off the rails.

I was joking about the Mueller thing. But if you look at the recent rulings, most of them went 5-4.

"That Roberts failed to qualify his deferential language can only be accounted—and will, I am confident, be so accounted in the White House—a failure of nerve, courage, and judicial independence."

Don't vote, brehs...

 

[El Bombi]

Bullshyt, thanks bernie, thanks our revolution, thanks demonic glenn greenwald, TYT and intercept. Anyone who did not vote against trump is to blame and no one else. These morons were warned that the supreme court seat is a lifetime appointment and can sway the country left/right significantly and they still did not vote because lord bernie did not win. Them alone are to blame.
I personally will never support bernie sanders or anyone associated with that toxic our revolution bs. You said voting for the lesser of two evil is still evil right? so don't complain, you got what you want

Yeap, The empty Supreme Court seat was my number one issue heading into the 2016 election.
