Not perish.
To look virtuous without contributing anything substantive towards your cause.
At this point, the one substantive thing Sotomayor can do is resign and make way for an ideologically aligned replacement. And this, she doesn’t do.
If she’s so concerned, she should resign. Let Biden nominate her replacement.
By staying on, she’s basically signalling she doesn’t care about the court going 7-2 after she drops dead during Trump’s second term. No lessons learned from the RBG fiasco. What’s the point of writing these long eloquent dissents that never end up swaying anything?
US presidents acting in their official capacity were always immune to prosecution for murder. Johnson and Nixon wiped out entire villages in Vietnam, never held accountable.
Polling of hypotheticals is notoriously flaky. If a fresh D comes in as nominee, all the “have to beat Trump” talking points will still be there, and all the “this guy has dementia” talking points will be wiped away. It’s hard to imagine any other nominee having negatives that could be worse than credible accusations of dementia.
Edit: except for Harris.
According to Biden,
Great logic.
Oh by the way, there are no signs that Sotomayor is planning to retire either…
Oh good, I guess Biden has absolutely nothing to worry about then…
Okay, so he’s still able to read off a teleprompter and seem “forceful”. Now put him in front of the editorial board of any major newspaper for an hour long interview.
From the individual consumer’s point of view, it totally makes sense to keep guzzling gasoline. US gas prices are far cheaper than elsewhere in the developed world, even after inflation. US carmakers have priced EVs at premium price points, and the charging infrastructure is mediocre. Add to this Biden’s lock-out of EV imports and efforts to keep gas prices down ahead of the elections.
Anyway, it’s a difficult set of problems, but I would not characterize Biden administration’s climate record as being “full of wins”. They’re like a startup that brags about receiving lots of VC funding (big wins!), but flailing about when it comes to delivering an actual product.
The Biden admin’s main selling point on climate is bragging about how much funding they’ve gotten from Congress. That’s a legislative achievement, but the execution part – which is the point of their branch of government – has been incredibly rocky. You got $7.5B in funding for EV charging yielding 8 EV chargers nationwide. And Biden has slapped big tariffs on Chinese solar panels and EVs, so that renewables will get more expensive and American carmakers who are skeptical about the EV transition will get to drag their feet even more.
Obviously, there’s a more disturbing background at play here, but churches shouldn’t be untaxed in the first instance. The dude literally said to render unto Caesar, etc. etc.

TLDR: Unskew those polls! Media biased against Democrats! No one could possibly vote for a convicted felon! Biden is fine!
Sheesh.
Just Google for Mihoyo and Energy Singularity. They invested $65M back in 2022.
This is the one that’s partly funded by Mihoyo, using the absurd amounts of money they made with Genshin Impact.
The power of the anime waifu, in the palm of your hand…
Saul Goodman probably would…
It’s nothing to do with stopping pedos. The people pushing this year-in and year-out don’t care THAT much about pedos. It’s not a cause that’s motivating enough for them to be putting in so much effort, trying to sneak in legislation after being repeatedly rebuffed.
Did the car get successfully recharged though?
Yes, the best time for her to step down would have been earlier (same issue with Biden dropping out). But the second best time is now.
