The institutions of US democracy are hanging by a thread, and the Supreme Court just frayed it. I cannot emphasize this enough: the 2024 election is effectively an up-or-down vote on Constitutional democracy. All else is secondary, because democracy and rule of law are how we address other issues.

Imagine thinking that a party that consistently demonstrates it has no interest in doing anything whatsoever to disrupt the status quo, is in fact in existence to maintain it, is going to intervene in a meaningful way I mean how do you get yourself in that headspace?

If the Court is willing to go this far with a judicial coup, they won't let a Democratic election win stand. They will find a pretext to overturn it. Voting is necessary, but it's not enough. Call for Biden to flex his newfound "immunity" powers by (at a minimum) packing the Court immediately.

And I cannot emphasize enough what a joke is a liberal academic's weak attempt at political bullying. The US has arguably *never* been a democracy, and that's before the neoliberalism that swept away any remaining notion.
