Regarding the centrist nightmare... The democrats could have easily stalled the confirmation of Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court last week (Republicans stalled in similar circumstances for an entire year). Instead they used it as a campaign driver and will (going forward) have a convenient reason/excuse not to implement minimum wage policies etc. They can’t, it’ll be blocked. This says loads!
AOC and Omar are allowed to call for expansion of the Supreme Court now ... but had their mouths shut when it mattered.
I’m mega cynical but I can see Biden/Harris being massively unpopular (for all sorts of good and bad reasons) but they’re career politicians, difficult to unseat.
How could the Democrats 'easily' have stalled Coney Barrett exactly? Reps controlled the Senate, which is how they stalled Obama's nomination for nearly a year.
