Speaks for itself. We've been beyond satire for a long time but this one still got me.

If Trump is reelected, there's about to be a whole lot of people within official act range.

The Supreme Court members who made this decision are in official act range right now at this moment. Donald Trump is in official act range at this moment as well. Not to draw conclusions but I'm not sure how serious the Democrats are about staying in power.

The should just be honest:

“Yes this is bad, but we might want to use this power ourselves so we won’t do anything to reverse it. You just need to vote so only WE have the power to use it.”

99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.

Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?
