I’m lucky enough to live in California, a historically Blue state. Now more than ever, it’s important to vote. Throughout her life she worked tirelessly to fight for equality. It’s awful and unfortunate that RGB died so close to the election. What about all the Republicans who may not support Trump, but want a Republican majority on the Supreme Court? The ones who may not like him, but would be willing to deal with him for four more years if it means controlling the Supreme Court for the next 40? You think you don’t want to vote for Biden because he’s not exactly who you want? Because he’s not progressive enough or liberal enough? This is a once in a life time opportunity for the Republicans. THAT is what everyone needs to understand. The concept of a separation of church and state is already a joke in this country, but it will get so much worse.īut more than that? Even if a nominee isn’t pushed through… The vacancy RGB left behind will motivate Republicans to come out to vote in droves. And you can bet your life, literally, that they will work to roll back every progressive law they can. If a conservative nominee is pushed through before the election, and I’m hoping it won’t but if it does, that will lead to a Republican majority in the Supreme Court. The problem, is that this is EXACTLY the opportunity Republicans have been looking for for decades. It’s not just a vacancy on the supreme court that could be potentially filled by a conservative Justice - that’s an awful thought, but that’s not the main problem. People need to fully understand what RGB’s death means. is he the ideal candidate? no, but he is willing to work towards making the USA a more progressive place and that is the first step we need to take. This man fully acknowledges the science behind climate change (unlike trump), wants to work to fix certain racist elements in american society (unlike trump), supports the lower and middle classes (unlike trump), is willing to put his money where his mouth is (unlike trump), and isn’t a full on fascist that ignores the global pandemic and takes the side of neo-nazis and white supremacists (unlike trump). support a government mandated 12 weeks of paid family leave for workers.end the cocaine sentencing disparity (as it is deeply racist).
