We'll be ok in 2 years my ass

They wouldn't be doing this if they had any intention of allowing elections 2 years from now.

The unpopularity of the funding freeze almost guarantees Republicans being swept from office en masse.

Who is going to force them? And who is going to force them to abide by the results?

I'm saying they will TRY to stop elections.

And I believe it's my duty as an American and Democrat to do everything I can't to make sure they are stopped.

People said the same thing about Bush, Obama, Trump the first term, and Biden. Somehow the fact that all those people were wrong hasn't yet demonstrated that it's not a thing.

There's no more evidence of this than there is elections will be cancelled because martians invaded.

If the court must be expanded to reverse Citizens United , then it must be done.
