Nonsense. Everyone knew the SCOTUS was corrupt. Yet another thing Biden with both houses should have fixed and never even addressed. When the View asked Harris what she would do differently she might have mentioned the corrupt system that concerns her so now.

Biden never had a true majority in the Senate, with two defectors - Manchin & Sinema - who couldn't be counted on. To impeach a Justice, you need ⅔ of the Senate to convict. Was the system only broken in January? Absolutely. By voting in unprecedented corruption. Compare cabinets before & after.

Blah, blah, procedural excuse, meany Manchin, I’m so very tired of the Democrats flailing because they don’t actually want to do what voters have elected them to do. If they ever win again they could try fulfilling campaign promises as ruthlessly as Trump has. Maybe they’d hold onto power for awhile

Yes. That’s correct. I am angry at lesser fascists for consistently losing to worse fascists because neither of them is exactly the kind of fascist I love best. With that kind of genius political acumen you could be a Dem consultant.

IMO, the Dems can't fix this on their own. They need sane Republicans to join in, which so far they've failed to do. Fox News propaganda is pervasive. If their audience had any clue what was going on, at least half of them would reject Trump in a heartbeat. Fox is at the core of sustaining the cult.

If Republicans are required to fix this America’s prospects are pretty dim. In fact if Democrats are required to fix this America’s prospects are pretty dim. We need ranked choice voting and more independent candidates to shake these parties to their existential core.

The biggest factor by far is the right wing propaganda of Fox and its ilk. I know several people who voted for Trump who know nothing but the talking points they regurgitate from watching Fox. Parties don't matter. Corrupted worldviews rule the day. That's what needs fixing. How, I don't know...

I agree. There is plenty of good alternative media available but people like their confirmation bias. And too many people just tune out because neither party fixes anything.

I don't buy that. Democrats worked to fix several things, against heavy Republican opposition. They rarely have had enough of a majority to do more. Just two defectors in the Senate was enough to limit what could be achieved. I don't blame Dems. It's the GOP that's screwed us. Unilaterally.

I mean, okay. If you want to defend the Democrats who refused to dismantle the filibuster in order to pass a single thing they campaigned on, do that. But you can’t claim that voting for them will help with school shootings, or medical bankruptcy or stagnant wages or education costs or housing…
