Great video depicting the hypocrisy between the Democrats stance on the 2016 Supreme Court vacancy under Obama, versus their position in 2020 with a Trump vacancy.
2020 Democrats should listen to 2016 Democrats
This video should go viral!

In 2016, the GOP held the Senate. They had the constitutional authority to confirm or not. They chose not. That is their prerogative. President Obama, the DNC, and the media tried to cajole them into taking up the nomination because “it was a threat to our democracy” not to.Now... the President and Senate agree. There is no need to wait. Constitutional authority is set. Obama, the DNC, and the media now say the GOP must wait. What about the threat to our democracy?
There is hypocrisy in this debate. It’s on the side of those who in both cases are arguing outside of their constitutional authority not those who are exercising it.
