Like you, I’m watching in horror and astonishment as the Supreme Court gets set to hand our democracy to their Führer. They are out of control, but I don’t think they are so entirely stupid as to simply say “Presidents can do anything they like, including murder, period.” I think it’s more likely they’ll send the case back to the lower courts, effectively kicking the can down the road, and avoiding bringing Weehands McNodick (thanks to Showercap for that moniker) to trial before the election.
Remember, everything Hitler did was “legal,” because he and his cohorts had packed the courts with their sycophants, just the same way Moscow Mitch and T*ump have done. Since we’re stuck with these lunatics, what can we do?
Easy to say but difficult to accomplish: GET DEMOCRATS ELECTED UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT.
I don’t think Biden’s going to have the tough race the “experts” predict. I suspect he’ll win by at least eight million votes, maybe more.
What we have to do is make sure he gets a Democratic Congress—enough of this “Freedom Caucus” aka the “State Duma” BS. If MTG and her ilk love Russia so much they should move there. We need to take both houses of the U.S. Congress, AND start taking back some of the statehouses that have gone rogue.
With a Democratic Congress, Biden can appoint more justices and get rid of this kangaroo court.
Once again, I implore you to pay less attention to the top of the ticket and more to the down ballot contests and give money to those organizations that are reaching out to voters at a local level. As a reminder, here are four that need help now:
Run for Something – recruits candidates 40 and younger across the country to run in local contests. They are endorsing about 850 people this year, and recruit many women, POC, and LGBTQ folks. Their candidates are beating Moms for Liberty 72% to 32%.
Movement Voter Project (MVP) - they raise money and then fund the most effective grassroots groups in vital swing states.
The States Project – focuses on winning statehouses.
Field Team 6 – all they do is register Democratic voters.
Give now, not in October, and thank you for your time.
