(1,789 posts)To not fight is to allow this shit to keep happening. If the Democrats would stop allowing the Republicans to get away with shit, maybe they wouldn't be in charge now.
Maybe if RBG had retired and let Obama appoint her replacement, the thugs wouldn't control the Supreme Court. Maybe if Dems stood up, bought a big media company so the actual news can be heard, on regular TV (and the first person who says "MSNBC" needs to shut up now and save their breath). We need free and fair media to show the people how this works.
We need to have changed laws to get rid of Citizens United, to improve the educational system, to make voting even easier, to have informed voters. To not let a convicted criminal, or anyone facing such crimes, to run for any office, down to dog catcher. To expand the Supreme Court, to set ethical stands for every part of the judiciary, to enact term limits for every office. To make it impossible to serve in Congress or any other office and become part of the uber rich class. To tax millionaires and billionaires back to the middle class. To end corporate welfare.
But, well, it's too hard. People won't like us. The Republicans would be mad. Oh, woe is us, we are just here to fundraise and make empty promises, not actually do anything to help the people. What was Joe Biden thinking, to want to make their lives better? He was supposed to kiss elephant ass like the rest of us!
