Silverseren,

I find myself today unable to upvote or boost anything without immediately being sent to that maintenance page.

Edit: Oh, also, I just realized that I myself can't see upvotes on any thread and every thread also lists as having "0 comments". I have to click into the comment section to find that there are indeed comments.

That also applies to my own posted threads, which I am not receiving any notifications about for comments posted. So I probably won't even see your or anyone else's reply to this comment.

Where do you fall politically?

I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...

Silverseren,

Rather far left both economically and socially, but I actually understand that progress takes step by step effort and screaming that you want everything done now doesn't get you anywhere. Also, purity tests of "follow every one of my beliefs or you're evil" are dumb and unhelpful when you're discussing where people are on the left.

Oh, and I think tankies are morons.

Silverseren,

I'm sure he would have tried, but we're dealing with massive hypotheticals at this point. Under your argument, we should not have a justice at any point ever step down because McConnell would try to block a nomination. Yes, he would try. Doesn't change the fact that the best move was for her to step down at the beginning of the term.

We should honestly be pushing for justices getting on in years and having health issues to step down at the beginning of presidential terms regardless.
