The Supreme Court has no popular mandate and essentially rules in spite of the will of the people.

I am mortified of their eagerness to give the Republican Party absolute power to implement their totalitarian agenda of mass deportation and domestic repression of dissidents and marginalized people.

Even if Kamala wins, the Trump-installed Supreme Court is still in power. The Republican Party is still on their march towards turning America into a quasi-theocratic neo-fascist dictatorship.

Many liberals are so obsessed with this election that they don't see the bigger picture.

The future is grim, even if Kamala wins.

The only way to stop the GOP is to play Calvinball, something liberals are essentially incapable of doing. I am increasingly convinced that the Democratic Party is incapable of genuinely stopping fascism. They can't even stop giving money to a fascist government overseas! How will they fight fascism here?!

Playing by the rules is what got us Donald Trump. Playing by the rules is why American institutions are so deeply racist towards black Americans. Playing by the rules is why the billionaires have near total control of our political system.

You cannot win chess against a pigeon. The pigeon just shits on the board, knocks down all the pieces, and does whatever it wants anyways.
