I'm starting to see self-important little pricks listing their demands which must be met to get them to vote Democratic in 2018 and beyond.
As if trying to save the idea of democracy isn't enough.

One deeply troublesome meme is, "If Democrats don't block Trump's next SCOTUS nomination, I'm not voting for them!"
A hard fact:
DEMOCRATS CAN NOT BLOCK TRUMP'S UPCOMING SCOTUS NOMINATION.
Tattoo that on the inside of your eyelids.

The only way it can be blocked is if all Democratic Senators hold together, and two Republicans defect (or just one, if McCain can't vote).
Newsflash:
NO REPUBLICAN SENATORS ARE GOING TO DEFECT.
Add that tattoo under the first one.

When no Republicans defect, and it's clear Trump's nominee will be approved, two or three Democratic Senators in red states who are up for reelection will vote for Trump's nominee.
Those votes will make no difference to the outcome, but might help Dems take back the Senate.

PS when we take back the Senate, and then the Presidency in 2020, we can add two more seats to the Supreme Court--or impeach Trump's appointees--and undo this travesty.
But we have to win to do that.
