    This why we all have to vote. Get a super majority, and add seats to the Supreme Court, hopefully end lifetime appointments while we’re at it.

      It feels like the will of the majority of US citizens is getting lost. The supreme court should be following legal precedent and if an issue can’t be solved that way or would be better suited for a vote then, a popular vote should decide major issues facing us, the citizens.

        We’re at the precipice of an electoral landslide victory against Republicans if the trends from the midterms and special elections earlier this year hold. I’m hopeful about it and that’s what’s keeping me going.

          The republicans are going to fight it in the most unethical and illegal ways possible and they’re probably going to get away with it. Until the democrats act with some spines, we’re going to keep barrelling toward the destruction of democracy.

            They’ve already been doing that for a long time. There’s a limit to how far that’ll get you.

              The fact that institutional guardrails have slowed this so far does not indicate that there’s a limit to how far this can go.
