The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.
The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.
You do know that third party is not the reason anyone lost right?
Like the rights third party vote is like 4x the size of the lefts, most leftists do vote Dem. Y’all just love to foam out the mouth at leftists cuz you can’t not eat DNC bullshit trying to keep the party right of center. You treat the DNC like an infallible god and get mad when people criticize them for bad policy. But yeah, clearly it’s the .4% of the population who voted PSL’s fault that the DNC lost, definitely not the DNC who won big with Obama’s message of “change” and then decide to run with “nothing will fundamentally change.” Boy what a way to energize the voter base. Don’t worry, Dick Cheney will help!
You don’t even have the right fucking Cheney.
I’m so tired of this shit, y’all are not invested in this at all, you just want to stir shit up.
Some of us have to live this shit every day.
I know it wasn’t the right Cheney sorry for sarcasm, but like, dude the DNC fucked itself, and has been since after Obama won. (At least they decided to change their stance on gay marriage so he could win re-election, last time we got any concessions from them.)
The point is people need to stop praising the DNC like they’re infallible. They are the ones to blame. It is their job to make people want to vote and they’ve absolutely killed voter enthusiasm since Obama. Do you know how many normie ass people I’ve heard talk about how they haven’t voted since Obama because what’s the point?
Who here is praising the DNC like that? That’s a straw man.
People who are blaming third party instead of blaming the DNC are? They attack people who criticize it, even though those criticizing it are doing so cuz they want them to run someone they could actually vote for.
That doesn’t include the number that abstained entirely.
Also you didn’t include any other 3rd party numbers
Yeah cuz I am too lazy to go look this shit up again because yall don’t care anyways and are gonna continue to try and fight the people who are trying to help.
From studies I’ve seen before the election, progressive left literally votes for Dem more than any other ideological block for dems by % total (which includes non-voters).
And sorry it’s been years but iirc it was like .4% for PSL and 1.1% for green? And then I think .5% constitution and like 4% for libertarian. You can go look up the numbers from like, even the 2016 election which was the largest 3rd party vote I think? Idr anymore. I just remember it being about 3-4x total for the right vs left 3rd parties put together showing the left really doesn’t have a 3rd party problem but that doesn’t stop the DNC from attacking it to stop people from wanting progressive policy since they refuse to run any. They’ve sued to get 3rd party taken off the ballot in a lot of states, while trying to say republicans are anti-democratic. (Which like duh they are too, but like… if that’s gonna be y’all’s message maybe don’t do anti-democratic shit like refuse to have primaries, give a “victory fund” to a candidate before primaries, and sue to remove 3rd parties from elections.)
