How do you imagine that is going to happen? Honestly curious, because organizing isn't lowering their pay and most of the senators and congresspeople are bought by the lobbyists

There are multitudes of good people out there, many that don't abandon marginalized peoples when politically expedient. That the democratic party apparatus chooses, continually, to support garbage, but connected candidates over others, tells me all about their values and likely actions

Mmm, right, surrending any kind of moral expectation in the pursuit of raw power will certainly result in the type of leadership that governs justly.

Based on the actions of the regime, I think you're being pretty optimistic that the composition of the court could change. Between rolling out the military to cities, the jerrymandering, etc, weather the score or institution is irrelevant if no further elections are held

Haven't been seeing a whole lot of upholding the Constitution from the SC these days. In fact, they don't seem to give a damn about much of anything beyond caving to Trump over and over. What value has a institution that sold it's integrity to a dictator?
