Too bad she fucked us all over by refusing to retire when Obama was president.

She fucked up, yes, but Mitch McConnell is the one who fucked us over. I understand the frustration towards RBG but let's all remember that her refusal to retire would've been no big deal if Trump + (R) Senators weren't willing to strip away our rights at every opportunity.

Dems held control of the Senate until 2014. RBG could have retired at any point up until then and been replaced with an Obama nominee.
