            I don’t presume to know. I am only saying we can’t assume anyone is actually acting in their own rational self interest since we know people so often do not. Anita Hill is no exception.

              I’m sure I don’t need to point out the irony here, right?

              I do want to point out that if no one can be trusted to act in their own self-interest, who then should act on their behalf?

          So the sore-loser wannabe dictator is the answer? We are between a rock and a fascist place. I vote rock.

              So young and naive. Unfortunately your opportunity to influence the process was in the primary.

                you do t know anything about my identity, and I’m not naive at all: I know what fascism is. its capitulating to the military industrial complex and jailing or killing anyone who threatens the states power.

      Oh, I didn’t know Joe Biden packed the court with fashy theocrats. I thought it was Trump, and these fashy theocrats just waited until Trump lost to make Joe Biden look bad by undermining his governance.

        tell any story you like. the story I know has Biden in DC for 50 years, even serving on the judiciary committee. I hold him at least partly responsible for Trump’s election in 2016, and will blame him for in 2024, too. he laid the groundwork for fascism to flourish.

          You’re blaming Biden in particular for Thomas and Trump? He’s not blameless for confirming Clarence. Though, of course, he is one of many responsible there and a conservative judge like Clarence was a forgone conclusion under the Bush 1 administration. And I can’t imagine how you justify blaming Biden for Trump’s first presidency. Because he didn’t run for president in 2016? Because he was a part of the Obama administration that led to the Trump administration? Either way, his responsibility is so marginal as to be confusing to even consider him culpable.

          There’s plenty to be dissatisfied or angry about with Biden that are directly and primarily or solely his fault. So why are you singling him out for those two things that are barely his responsibility at all, if at all?

            he spent 50 years shaping the political landscape. the rise of fascism didn’t happen because donald trump ran for president. his run was made possible by the rising fascism.
