who cares about Congress? the SCOTUS just ruled the president is immune to prosecution for crimes. Biden could have every justice hauled off to Guantanamo right now

Biden has specifically and publicly stated he's against packing the court. lets not make up things he might be thinking, lets take him at his word

liberals appetite for action begins and ends at voting. it wont be liberals that get pushed to anything, because they are by and large comfortable whatever happens. it will be labor movements and the black bloc

i never said why bother or dont vote. you offered voting as a response to the current SCOTUS situation and i asked how thats related, given that Biden is not at all interested in addressing that situation.

again, we dont do anything. voting isnt doing anything either, its selecting someone else to do something. im not saying dont vote. go ahead if it makes you feel better.

"we" dont do anything. we've put our hopes in a political party that has zero interest in actually challenging fascism, and in fact enjoys participating in it.

pack the court, impeach every current member, dissolve it entirely. hell, Biden is apparently immune to criminal conviction now, he could have them abducted or killed.
