  1. "one of the few things that could meaningfully change the course of the campaign in my favor I'm just not going to do" what a fucking brain genius
  2. Is not about the legality it's about the threat of suit against the little guy that they're to be used for. Trump is a litigious prick and this is just another avenue for the wealthy to stifle the rights of non wealthy
  3. 1-3% of 70+ billion is an extremely big number still. But suck does have a vested interest in Trump winning there's no doubt about that
  4. here's the messaging. Stonewall as best you can, refuse to meet her, make a fucking stink in the press, insist that there be covid relief before you talk to her. Do something even if you lose
  5. Why, you ask, am I so pessimistic about congressional Dems? Their only redeeming feature is that they are not the Republican party which is so, so, so much worse and actively hurtful We're going to have a 6-3, 9 member court (and best case) until thomas dies and then we're merely going back to 5-4. Congrats everyone.
  6. Republicans want this, and so do Dems. There's also an obligation to state and local governments and the millions of jobs there that need to be protected, and also the millions more who need enhanced unemployment, both of these items Republicans don't want. So yeah the loss of tens of thousands of jobs is at risk, but so are millions of government jobs and the help for millions of unemployed. You can't keep giving Republicans what they think they want and getting nothing in return! At this point there are two things to remember: democrats didn't get enough in negotiations for the first CARES act (Republicans _strongly needed_ corporate bailouts) and secondly Republicans don't want to help millions of people, so we can't give up the leverage needed in order to help these people. Does it suck that the lives of these people are bargaining chips? Yes, but there's a bigger picture that Republicans have no problem ignoring if leverage is given up.
