Speaks for itself. We've been beyond satire for a long time but this one still got me.

The should just be honest:

β€œYes this is bad, but we might want to use this power ourselves so we won’t do anything to reverse it. You just need to vote so only WE have the power to use it.”

Honest question: What should democrats do to reverse the Supreme Court?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 months ago

Kill or forcibly resign everyone on the Supreme court who voted in favor of the decision, appoint new justices, and have it overturned.

More realistically? Add more members to the Court so they're the majority and then overturn it.

99% of democracies give up right before hitting it big and concentrating supreme power in the hands of a benevolent dictator.

Examine this change of logic. The democrats want a mandate from the people before they act antidemocratically? So that they can maintain the highground when they do an inherently lowdown thing? And they could do it now but they want a blue election first? Are you a snake eating its own tail?
