People are losing rights, but Biden and the Dems can't do anything because any act would be political
: "Look on the bright side, no one accused me of being unattractive and having the blue hair!"What could they do, though? like, yeah libs fucking suck and electoralism only goes so far, but in this instance, what course of action do they have exactly?
Coulda packed the court. Coulda been proactive about passing bills when they still had that slim majority. Coulda had any plan beyond "get elected".
Even by their own standard of centre-right politics, Democrats are a failure.
This. And while there are still things they can do, as have been mentioned on some replies, they could have done so much more before it got to this point.
Now they'll campaign on protecting people's right, much like the did this past election on abortion while doing nothing to protect people in deep red states who will be negatively affected by these decisions.
Provide free abortions and hormones w/ informed consent on federal land. Marriage should be a federal institution and not a state one but I'm not sure what that would require. Do what Republicans do and fund people to shop around districts for judges that agree with them in order to set good precedent. Dig up dirt on your political enemies and use any of the gazillion laws we have to arrest them. The President could also simply do what Russia does and throw some enemies out of windows, but you'd only want to do that sparingly. For any bad judgment that pertains just to executive stuff, simply ignore that.
Edit: As for affirmative action, universities could just do what they did with the ADA - pretend to be working on it for decades with little progress and simply eat the cost of lawsuits
some of the language i have seen coming out of the schools is that they can follow the law by not attributing any weight to an applicant's race, but they are legally allowed to attribute weight to an entrance essay where an applicant discusses their experience of race. so good faith institutions can signal to applicants to mention their experiences as a minority in their application and the university can use that communicated experience and prefer their application over Brace "Moneyshot" Worthington-Fauntleroy III's application to major in Phys Ed. and minor in Pharmaceutically Enhanced Mixology even though they have the same GPA.
but of course, schools are mostly interested in donors and new construction. so if brace's dad owns a car dealership...
Biden could try to literally order states to ignore it, there's precedent for telling SCOTUS to fuck off funnily enough.
The trail of tears happened against prior Supreme Court rulings trying to prevent such a thing iirc, but Andrew Jackson sent in the military to remove Native Americans.
But you're forgetting that you can only violate norms to do horrific things. Good things aren't allowed
Amerikkka's political institutions have a billion ratchets and clanks designed specifically to stop any progress, but they also have an equal number of turbo buttons for trespasses against life and nature.
It's kind of impressive that 9 un-elected people can single-handedly dismantle and destroy so many good things.
I'm sure this won't lead to anything else, like discrimination based on age, race, gender...
Turn away some suburbanite soccer mom saying you don’t serve people with Karen hair or people with cross necklaces and watch the melt down tho, this is such a fucking waste of time. Many submarine rides to every elected official in the USA
Our "turn" in this hellhole is the Democratic party. I want to be unalive.
by turn i mean the 2024 election and by terror i mean dropping my ballot in the mailbox
-liberals who are posting "burn it all down" today (not calling anyone on this site a liberal this is more directed at people i know irl and on social media today)
This is the Federalist Society's work. All these
discrimination good rulings are all Federalist Society bastsrds.Everything the WASP acccuses the Jews of, is a confession on their part. Look at every antisemitic trope they slander us with, when they do it its celebrated.
Okay, everyone is upset about this, but it totally would be appropriate for someone to retaliate in any way against the plaintiff. Like, if someone were to go to the Colorado Secretary of State site and look up the address for the business that is, for some reason, absent from their website, and mailed criticisms there, that would be bad. If they were to disseminate that information in the Boulder/Denver area, organized protests, pressured the landlord to kick them out, that would be double extra bad, really hope no one does that.
I need to get out of this country. Fuck the GOP for being literally invincible, and fuck the masses for being too stupid to control their hedonistic sadism. Fuck me too for latching onto my morals despite the social ostracization I received for not being some dark triad abomination.
Karma exists but it works in reverse.
ask your lib friends, "Do you really believe the constitutional union is a salvageable institution?"
Hey lib friend, you know how Iran is really undemocratic? Yeah. Did you know they actually have an entire electoral system and a president and representatives really similar to here, and their vote is actually fairly counted and everything? But see the trick they do is, the president and legislature the people vote for can be overruled by an unelected council of old men in robes. That's how they subvert any semblance of democ
And this was over a lady who wanted to make a marriage photography website or something. She hadn't even made it yet. Her desire to be a reactionary small business dipshit has overthrown part of the civil rights act.
I want to give up, I really do.
I wish I can just be brainwashed into being a fash like normal people, and just live every day in eternal bliss. Might as well join the winning team.
(Not that I sincerely believe this, but there is no beating a CHUD. It's the Can't Argue with elves trope, in real life)
Edit: Below is a monument to my hubris.
Buddy, chap, pal.
It’s not a 5-4 SCOTUS…
It’s 6-3.
The Supreme Court just gave a big ol' green light for Americans to really crank up their anti-LGBT++ violence. It's really REALLY bad normie Americans think that the Supreme Court is somehow a moral authority.
This says denying service to protected classes is free speech. It’s not just LGBT folks
BRO! FOR REAL I HEARD THAT EXACT PHRASE IN BREAK-ROOM I SHIT YOU NOT!
: "Buh....buh......bigotry FUNNY!"
