Seriously.
We are losing our rights because they think there will be no consequences.
But there can be consequences at the ballot box.
People died to protect our right to vote.
Let's not discard it so easily.

VOTE WHILE WE CAN!
Remember: state & local races are as important as President/VP -- VOTE YOUR ENTIRE BALLOT!
• Register/check registration at vote.gov
• Confirm your state's requirements & voting dates/times -- early voting is often easier than waiting for Election Day
• Decide now on when you'll go vote (or mail your ballot) & put it in your calendar so you're committed -- get others to commit too
• Learn what's on your ballot at ballotpedia.org -- take your notes with you to vote!

There are systems in place to fix this. However those systems require congress to work together. That means a dem controlled house and senate. Guess what we dont have right now? want the SCOTUS expanded? has to go through congress. Want to impeach Judges? has to go through congress. Want ethic reforms for the SCOTUS? that has to go through congress too. It feels like nothing is going on because congress has been stalled since Jan 2023.

"systems require congress to work together".. "That means a dem controlled house and senate". See the problem with that?
kingbudo101
almost like the solution is to have dem controlled house and senate

Almost like the solution is to vote.

kingbudo101
yup

You are still skipping saying it, eh? GOP stonewall. They wont compromise and work together. MAGA want to tear down congress and go to State govt rule. You want that ?The solution isn't to have Dems force through unpopular policy so GOP can justifiably call us authoritarian, it to get reps willing to work together and fight for their voters even when they aren't the party in power.

That ship has sailed. You would need to rebuild the republican party from the ground up. which will easily take a decade plus to do. As for "force through unpopular policy" the SCOTUS is at 60% unfavorable according to polls. Reforming the court or ethic reforms for the court are not unpopular policies
NewtGinGrinch
You identified that the system is designed to have congress work together. The bipartisanship is how shit works. Correct ? MAGA reject this idea entirely. GOP that signed onto BBB got death threats from Far Right because Trump split the Right. They have yet to acknowledge it to their voters. SCOTUS is unfavorable and judges don't last forever. We'll get it back without getting baited into sabotaging it.
