Fun fact I just learned. Do you guys know why there are 9 Supreme Court justices? They picked that number because at the time there were 9 judicial circuits. There are now 12. Do if the dems do expand the court they could aim for 12 seats saying that they’re staying true to the vision of the founders when they decided on 9 seats.At least that’s a better argument to the public than “the republicans made us do this terrible thing you all hate. Blame them”.
I mean, if they had a time machine and could go back before they ever tried to blame republicans for why they wanna pack the court this would be a great reason to put forth.
It's a shame they didn't have you advising them. Now they're just stuck with "but republicans" and crying about norms being shattered while they...seek to shatter norms lol.

Yep and while we are noting how I feel, I feel I have to point out if the Republicans wanted to do something shady(but not against the rules) and were using something democrats did centuries ago to justify it you'd react the same way.
Correct. I'd feel the same because I am consistent. Any other feelings you'd like to get off your chest?

However you need to spin it. I wasn't trying to distract, but if I was you fell for it. Instead of just going "yeah we should use a different term" you doubled down for several pages before ultimately achieving nothing.

Dems have always been terrible at messaging and branding, honestly.

No, you're also wrong. That sentence while incorrect, is not gibberish, you understand what the person is saying. Care to try again?
I understand the words, but it makes about as much sense as gibberish. I understood all the words SM used, just when you put them together they do not make sense.
Same goes with "men have uteruses". I know what all those words mean, but when you put them together we enter a magical realm of crazy

I still remember the DCCC putting out stickers for 2018 that legit said "I mean, have you seen the other guys?"

"She persisted, we resisted" ohohoho! Did you see what they did there? Clever.

So if you understood and wasn't trying to distract you basically just admitted you knew what the attention was and just got hung up on the fact we weren't using the terminology you wanted in this instance?
Which means you're either a terrible grammar nazi or just trying to distract.
