The illegitimate Supreme Court brought it back. Don’t forget that Republicans stalled for a year to get one of their Justices, and we have two known perjurers, two that have openly accepted bribes, and an insurrectionist flying fascist flags outside his home.
There’s no court with authority over the Supreme Court. There’s no systemic means to operationally define their means as illegitimate.
So, if the system is to be preserved, the rules must be respected, and We the People must tolerate corrupt Justices until they choose to resign or die. But, such is intolerable! The system must yield. But, if it ignores its core rules then it deserves no respect!
It’s important that we recognize that various systems are scams and learn how they work. But, often, just like this example, what we find is that the system allows no means of recovery that We the People would find adequate.
They’ll always tell us to be patient, to wait for a more convenient time for change, praying that enough of us don’t reason our way into enough systemic impasses to do more than cast a meaningless ballot. Most of us have very little and trust each other even less. But, sacrificing for our neighbor is the only way forward.
You guys need to write a new constitution yesterday. The US constitution is an old relic and it’s hardly surprising it’s so disfunctional.
Thank you for the compliment. But, lucky for us, humanity has much better choices.
The government is allowed to impeach them. Legally speaking.
The right will block such an action though because they too are corrupt.

Yes.

I encourage ignoring the present day situation for a moment. Instead, think along the lines of systemic design.
If our system exists as a two party system, if one party takes a strong position using whatever legal means, they know the other party will soon also use the tactic in greater magnitude. If they impeach Justices, the vote certainly along party lines, then the composition of Congress changes, and their Justices will surely face impeachment. If one party wisely expands the court leaving room for future expansion, the other party will in the future certainly expand the court to the limit.
Neither party actually needs to fulfill promises to anyone but those that donate money for the propaganda. The propaganda keeps the vast majority from killing all the would-be kings, money lenders, and politicians.
The initial designers of our system predicted that the greatest weakness is the possibility of devolution into a two party system. They thought it’d take much longer than “immediately”.
Coming back to the modern day, and he last several years, I think some protesters said it best:
Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Biden, too! Neither of them give a fuck about you!
America’s combination of First-past-the-post and presidential democracy makes a two-party system all but inevitable.
please do not elect Donald Trump for fuck sakes
Trump is just the current iteration. This is a long term problem.
And plan. He’s merely a puppet to regain power.
Republicans like this right now because it benefits Donald. It’s going to come back and bite them in the ass when it helps their opponents.
But they are the disenfranchised and the poor. They have the right to vote for someone who will gut regulations for corporations that will happily increase to looting and pillaging in the quest for profit.
The fact these people reason that it would be better for them with less regulations and oversight is beyond comprehension.
Republicans have learned that there are millions of votes on one particular issue that will allow them to do whatever on all other issues. Abortion.
Y’all won’t do anything.
What in your opinion should we be doing? Besides voting and shitposting.
What it takes to stop it.
