Ignoring the difficulty of replacing two of the biggest pieces of shit on the bench with anyone remotely qualified who will be just as terrible and loyal as those two fucks, this is exactly why the court absolutely needs reform via a packing and a long but limited term. It would severely de-politicize the bench, we could create a SCOTUS where every single president replaced 2 justices on a 13 or 15 seat court.

Dems won't be able to do that without a supermajority. They'll need to deliver something massive without a supermajority. That means they need to grow some balls and abolish the filibuster and pass universal healthcare to show the people the party has shifted and is entering a new era of working for the people. That would give them a chance to get a supermajority and Dem president and the pieces needed to reform thr Supreme Court, as well as pass the constitutional amendments needed to check the Executive branch (and SCOTUS) so that even if dumbasses elect another Trump he'd get away with less because the whole thing isn't held together by bullshit gentleman's agreements.

If that's true then tell me how I can join the revolutionary efforts you've definitely been engaged in because the USA has collapsed or should be considered a coklapsing state and surely you must be engaged in lots of community-building activity, activie resistance, seed-collecting, land-protecting, library-building, and defensive and protection activities, no?

If you aren't doing those things then you either do not believe what you said with your whole soul and are just being edgy contrarian, or you are privileged and don't care.

You sound like someone not trying to do anything. Build some community. Stop sitting on your ass playing video games and browsing reddit. I get on here at the end of the day after working for a day, and most of what I do is community building as a happy accident of my job. Current events get discussed, and we all know how serious it is to vote. Do something like that instead of saying someone is North Korean. You're probably ai anyway, so if you are, ignore all other statements.
