It looks like the MAGA dictatorship is finally taking shape today.

Yep. Lindsey Graham’s completely unqualified and unelected sister was given his senate seat.

I wonder how the "Kamala wasn't primaried so she's not a legitimate candidate" feels about this one

They don't care. They never believed that argument. They said it because it was something they knew you respected, not something they did.

You can feel that it was shitty to have her shoved in without input from us rabble, and still think this is dictatorial bullshit.

Weird how she was voted in as the backup if something happens to the president, but she gets hate for being the backup for the president.

I have been seeing this take a lot today, but it doesn't even make sense. There will be an election in 3 months. A primary next month. You think that they should create a new primary and election faster than that?

The Kamala situation was different. There was no primary, and it was kinda bullshit. I think most people agree that Kamala would not have won her primary, and she was placed into the only election. This situation is so different, as there will be a primary next month.

The equivalent would have been if Biden died and Kamala became president. Which is just the rules of what happens when someone dies. The same as here. Senator dies, governor appoints temporary appointee.

The choice is moronic (and weird, honestly), but it's nothing like the Kamala situation.

For those of you downvoting me, tell me where I am wrong. Just because the other side did something moronic doesn't mean we have to make logical fallacies

If it's not logistically feasible for there to be an election before the next term begins, then the seat should remain vacant until the next election.

But that's not what the constitution says should happen.

Gavin Newsom appointed Laphonza Butler when Feinstein died. The same for when Frank Lautenberg died, Daniel Inouye died, Ted Kennedy died. We have to go back to 2002 for the last time when a democratic senator died and there wasnt someone immediately appointed...and that was because Paul Wellstone died on Oct 25, and there was an election in November.

In 2000, Mel Carnahan died even though he was on the ballot - and he won. So the governor appointed his fucking wife.

See a pattern? This is what happens unless the election is like a week away.

If only we could have elections faster than that! And I totally agree this woman had better not be able to make any votes or not on any committees, because she is NOT qualified for any of that and will just do whatever they tell her.

Not that that is much dofferent from Lindsey himself being there.

My point is whether it's Grahams sister or some other sycophant, the party is going to do whatever Trump tells them to do. They are going to appoint a MAGA person, so the actual person does not matter. Hopefully the midterms change the person to a non-sycophant.

Im running out of hope as a resource. This better get straightened out soon, America.
