Helios was the one saying 2016 was not an election year, or Helios just doesn't know when Garland was nominated (despite my link of Obama being dated for 2016). 
Or, after doing a closer look at what you and Helios were saying, he meant that he didn't say it in 2016. It was, in fact, dated May 19, 2005. 2005 wasn't an election year.

You and I both know the GOP doesn't give a shit about whether anything they do is legitimate.

If raising the number of SCOTUS judges is legitimate, it is legitimate for either party. You think RBG was wrong about the number of justices so you must think it's legitimate to raise the number. If you want to say it's legit for the Dems but not the GOP, just say so.

Perhaps, not that 2005 not being an election year is material.
This quote should explain what I think:

Your side changes the rules (the Dems regarding regular justices not requiring filibuster, adding SCOTUS justices, and not holding confirmation votes) which you're okay with and your opponents follow suit and it's bad when they do. It's even worse when they beat you so you have to change the rules to win.
IDK, it doesn't seem to me like the issue boils down to pure party politics or tribalism. I recognize filth when I see it. The gop is anti democratic, and anti american. It's a shame, because that does leave people who might agree with some broad set of conservative policies but who are still enamored with democracy and the us without actual or effective representation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What specifically is meant by "anti democratic" and "anti american"? |
