Thank you Radical Left and what's left of the American checks and balances system for helping us resist the oppression of the Right for at least a little bit longer.

It's barely holding, but it's not entirely gone yet. Things are dire, but not yet lost.

You don’t think SCOTUS is lost yet? The shadow docket alone should show it is.

then, actually seperate from the other branches. a supreme court where the seats are chosen by the president and confirmed by a senate was never not going to be a political shit show.

expand scrotus by a couple seats, hard age-cap or set number years (20-30?) then have em do their own internal elections for replacement. with congress nominating (some) choices to choose from, there should also be a very strict exam to even be considered eligible for nomination (expand that out to all state/federal judges...why the fuck are any of them elected freely again? for fucks sake in like half the country you dont need any legal experience to be a judge...).

while we're at it, scrap this common law bullshit entirely for civil law. common law is literally just a english perversion of civil law, so some inbred english aristocrat's could hang onto power

I mean, we've got proof you can ignore the Constitution without consequences. I'd say it needs scrapped and reworked from scratch.

it's fucking wild to me how people are still thinking this shit isnt going tits up as soon as trump croaks.

everyone is coping on a "return to normal" (read...unsustainable ratfucking") when he dies, but that is not coming...

...motherfuckers... they literally put out a statement saying they wouldnt leave power peacefully, when someone tells you who they are... believe them

Things weren't better under the "normal" they want to return to, they we just less aware and less effected by the atrocities that have been ongoing.

are talking about when walz resisted progress by teaming up with trump for oil pipelines?

or when Harris resisted discourse by inviting republicans to their democrat gala and gatekeeping the protestors outside?

was the resisting done when the democrats fought tooth and nail to keep Roe v. Wade from falling?

is the resisting you are referring to when obama resisted to help insurance companies from going under by mandating we all must get for profit insurance?

what resisting are you referring to?

Anyone who ever ever done anything I dislike as much as coming closer to me in public than one meter, is exactly as bad as Donald Trump, and I can see no difference between them.

/s, obviously, although clearly where a sane line lies is not globally known.

while i understand where that comes from...hard not agree accelerationism is working.

the american people as a whole are...kind of dumb as shit (this being by design, our public education system meant specifically to make compliant factory workers), many will only learn through direct personal pain.

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but wasnt it not till the great depression that the US has its first major surge in left-wing activism. maybe we just need a economic collapse so severe and widespread that it scars a generstion into thinking "maybe we do need to work together to survive", regardless of how some talking head on a screen tells them to feel about their neighbors

I mean there's a few purity tests that are alright, like trans rights are human rights.

Why does president Trump care more about his ball room than about ending the government shutdown?

I genuinely cant understand this shit. If I was the president I would be bending over backwards to help my countrymen and women get fed. Id be cooking for them myself. They dont even care about their own MAGATs going without.

America under Trump is third world.

Part of the problem is that you'd never become president with that attitude.
