Gerrymandering, structural advantages, etc. the same as it’s always been.

Because unfortunately the pro-Israel, pro- cop Democratic candidates are much closer to the average voter than the nutbag religious extremists are.
Even if the system isn’t corrupt, it’s run by humans who make mistakes. It’s only a matter of time before one of those mistakes gets an innocent person executed. The only way to execute zero innocent people is to execute zero people.
Because Trump would be so much better on the issue, right?
Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.
He’s a high profile corporate whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide. Any coroner who isn’t already triple checking everything is way too corrupt or lazy to bother with another look.
The year is 2065. E. Jean Carroll is the richest human alive. She rules a business empire that stretches across the globe and even to Mars. This empire does not charge for services, sell products or even take investor funding.
Its only source of revenue is suing the immortal cyborg that is Donald Trump, who even after 40 years of taking Ls is still pathologically unable to keep his fucking mouth shut.
Only the Senate gets to block appointments like that, and Democrats control the Senate.
I would rather have an actual orange baboon as president than Donald Trump.
But you need states to agree to that, which runs into the same issue as an amendment does.
The good news is that Biden isn’t even a forgetful old man. The media just takes every normal slip up he makes and runs it non-stop.
Hello, airplanes? It’s blimps, you win!
How is executing someone keeping us safer from them than just throwing them in prison? Prison escapes, especially of dangerous, death row level offenders are exceedingly rare, at least in the US. People will point to deterrence, but no scientific studies have been able to demonstrate any significant deterrence effect of capital punishment. You’re just killing people out of anger.
I get it, many of these offenders are abhorrent. I won’t lose any sleep over the supermarket shooter getting his. But the death penalty should be abolished.
Is Japan uncivilized?
Speeding up executions means more innocent people will be wrongfully executed. How many innocent people are you willing to kill to make sure this this asshole fries?
SCOTUS, or at least Scalia, has also decided that innocence isn’t a compelling reason to be spared execution.
We should never let these vermin get away with calling themselves “pro-life.”
Do you think that the Chinese even bothered with the high tech spy gadgets? You could learn basically anything from him if you booked a dinner at his stupid golf club and told him his hands were bigly. Maybe throw in a badly shopped nude of his daughter if you want the real heavy stuff.
My platform will be one high enough to push Vicki fascists off to their deaths.
Maybe with some spikes at the bottom for good measure. You can’t be too careful.
Well part of the problem is that there isn’t total agreement on what a republic is. By some definitions it’s basically anything that isn’t a monarchy. Some medieval republics didn’t have elections and instead chose their officials by sortition, which is essentially a lottery. China and North Korea do have elections, but they’re total shams (and North Korea is basically a monarchy is a thin coat of republican paint, since by law they can’t have any leader that isn’t descended from Kim Il Sung).
Technically, no. The Constitution says “the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” but “republican” has historically been very loosely interpreted. Technically, China and North Korea are both republics.
They’re against anything that the Democrats want. If the Democrats decided to fix the pothole out front, Republicans would rally in favor of potholes’ right to damage your car.
