I feel similarly. The both sidesers won't care though. They'll just mumble something about genocide so they can pretend there's no difference in the parties
The genocide argument goes away in 2 days, so we have that to look forward to.
Harris came out hard against Israel's genocide today. Argument already moot.
No she didn’t. She’s just saying the same thing since the convention. It would be nice if she would commit to following US law and state there will be a halt to the weapon shipments
Then you want to be upset with the Republican held House of Representatives who drafted a bill to prevent this when Biden tried to do it the first time, explicitly going against established US law and also illegally withholding salary from any government official who tries to challenge it.
Here's the bill which has already passed in the House, voted Yea by 208 Republicans (3 nay, 6 abstaining) and voted Nay by 184 Democrats (16 Yea, 13 abstain).
Here's the vote tally if you'd like to write some letters about it to your local representatives.
A really overthought “solution” that could’ve only come from a room of politicians. I mean, your made-up “equity election” didn’t work, so you have another set of elected officials further remove selection of this powerful, even then, position from the people instead of just failing back to the popular count. Fucking lawyers.
Absolutely horrifying. And very, very plausible.
The new House isn’t sworn in until January 3... By the time we get to January 6, the electors are supposed to have voted. December 11 is the deadline for appointing electors, December 25 the deadline for voting. Mike Johnson will still be in charge on both of those days.
Since we're not playing by the rules anymore, could the new house speaker (assuming Democratic majority) just extend/accept things on Jan 3rd?
Since we'll know that sooner they would just need to signal that they intend to accept late appointments and voting.
I suppose that too would go to the Supreme Court, but it seems worth trying.
