      Because obviously they agree with them. People should get a clue after all this times they could take action against the court and its rulings, but they didn’t. Also, to more practical extent, SC being full of rabid reps give them really excellent excuse to do what dems are meant to do: ratchet effect. Also it’s great propaganda material for getting more donations.

        Yeah, there is no other way to see it for what it is. Democrats know if they actually do stuff then they would anger their donors and people wouldn’t vote for them after they did whatever it is they promised to do.

        So instead of actually becoming a party that works to improve american’s lives and protect people, they become the party that relies on vague threats of shit getting worse if they’re not in power.

        Democrats never cared about people’s rights. If they did, they’d do everything in their power to prevent their rights from being removed. They like the courts the way they are and aren’t going to change them.

      Gives them an excuse to do what they (or their donors) wanted to do while being able to say, “Aww shucks folks, we really wanted to give you single payer healthcare, cancel federal student loan debit, legal access to abortion services but that rascally Supreme Court done outwitted us again.”

      Fundraising, fundraising, fundraising!

      Fetishizing (fuck you spell check, this is absolutely a word) process and procedure to the point that its what most of the effort of politicking is put towards instead of making the country/world a better place.
