Yes, you do. People didn’t take Trump seriously, and he put these clowns into lifetime appointments. Likewise, there’s lots of judges around the country he appointed, like Aileen Canon.
If we can take back the majority in the House, keep the majority in the Senate, and get Harris and Walz elected, there’s a lot we will be able to do to restore SCOTUS and the rest of the judiciary to working order.
So yes. Vote harder. Stop doing the dirty work of the Republicans by tacitly implying that voting doesn’t matter.

A lot they can do, assuming they don’t find an excuse to not do it.
But Dems will never be better situated than they were in 2009. And look what they did with their spoils then. They comprised with Republicans until they got Mitt Romney’s health care plan and nothing else - no carbon caps or path to citizenship or abortion rights or public collegiate education or court reform or even DC statehood.
Do you really think Harris, a woman who has fallen upwards her whole career and never really shown a passion for any kind of progressive policy will outperform a party that actually ran on Hope and Change?
She and Biden have always just been a placeholder to keep Trump out. They were never really expected to do anything popular.

Yes, I do, and while I appreciate your cynical position, I respectfully hope I’m proven right and you’re proven wrong.
She and Biden have always just been a placeholder to keep Trump out. They were never really expected to do anything popular.
And you’re entitled to your opinion, but from my perspective, that’s been Biden’s deal. He’s the “not Trump” placeholder candidate, and Kamala has simply been along for the ride. I have hope for what she can do when she’s the one actually calling the shots.
I respectfully hope I’m proven right and you’re proven wrong.
You and me, both. But I’ve been living through this bait-and-switch pattern since Carter.
Biden was absolutely the worst of the lot, but hey maybe his VP will be different.
He’s the “not Trump” placeholder candidate, and Kamala has simply been along for the ride.
The entire pitch for Biden since January has been “if you don’t zealously support him with all of your heart, you’re going to let Trump do a fascism and destroy the entire American democratic system”.
He is explicitly and unequivocally running as a block to Trump. And the only reason he got ousted was due to his failure in this role.
The Dems know this, they know their base will vote for a ham sandwich to keep Trump out of office, and so they’re free to sell out to corporate interest at every opportunity on the grounds that voters don’t have another choice.
I’m so fucking sick of these guys
Impeach, impeach, impeach
You just need to vote harder
