"Play with loaded dice" = Được hưởng lợi qua việc thao túng/biết hết các quy định và luật chơi (nghĩa hơi tiêu cực như kiểu ăn gian, ví dụ như đã biết trước mặt súc sắc ra cái gì trước khi đặt xuống bàn).

Ví dụ
The Taggart Oregon offense is predicated on this very principle. Football is a numbers game at its core, and modern offenses are designed to play with loaded dice.

Morris tries to turn the similar approach of the Institute of Public Affairs on its head; she wants us to play with loaded dice. So does her assertion that “we must also heed how indigenous (bản xứ) people want to be recognised”. That is the way of division and, if taken far enough, constitutional separatism (chính sách phân lập, chính sách ly khai).

The fact that liberals had to rely on Jeff Flake—who will leave the Senate soon to take a private sector job where you will need a special security pass if you want to accost him outside an elevator—to make ANY headway against Kavanaugh tells you everything you need to know about how our current system is set up. You do not live in a two-party system. You live in a one-party system, and that’s true whether or not the Democrats happen to eke out a future Presidential win or score a temporary majority of the House next month. Thanks to gerrymandering (sự sắp xếp gian lận khu vực bầu cử để giành phần thắng trong cuộc tuyển cử), voter suppression, conservative Supreme Court rulings, the electoral college, and a bicameral (có cả thượng nghị viện lẫn hạ nghị viện, Lưỡng viện) legislature that gives California the exact same number of Senators as fucking WYOMING, Republicans get to play with loaded dice every time they go against Democrats.
