    Ok, let’s point out how poorly timed this meme is.

    The election isn’t until November. It’s July.

    We did vote, and we can’t vote for any state or district that we are not in. Democrats won 2020, and avoided total disaster in 2022.

    Americans cannot and never have had the ability to vote in SCOTUS.

    The last chance the Democrats had at preventing this shit show was under Obamas first term when he could have briefly stacked the courts.

      So put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye, because this is what voting blue no matter who gets you.

      We are fucked, and the DNC doesn’t care.

      Prove me wrong.

        We didn’t “vote blue no matter who” in 2016 and trump got 3 supreme court picks. If we did Hillary would have gotten them instead and we wouldn’t be here. So you’re literally wrong.

    Between “Democrats say ‘Vote’” and “Democrats do nothing to fight back,” they didn’t vote in 2016.

    This Supreme Court is a result of that inaction.

    Congratulations on demonstrating how voter abstention hands the government to Republicans.

    Let’s not do that any more.

      This Supreme Court is a direct result of Ruth Bader Ginsberg refusing to retire because ???.

      Thanks again DNC. Couldn’t have done a worse job.

    “It’s soooo exhausting to vote one day every two years, so might as well allow as many republicans as possible to become firmly entrenched in every level of government, able to sabotage any attempt to push the inertia in any other direction.”

    Here’s a novel idea: you are not just electing one charismatic godking messiah with a magic political wand to the executive office every four years, but an entire system of appointees and employees.

    Then there’s Congress, and the Supreme Court, and state governors and state congresses, city mayors and city council, school board, etc.

    One side strives for reason and science, the other is scorched earth anti-science anti-reason ignorant hysteria. And you keep giving them enough power to thwart everything.

    Tune out and stop watching the infotainment bullshit designed to keep us outraged and polarized every minute of the goddamned day, just show up at the polls each first Tuesday in November and vote Democrat. Once every two years is enough.

    At this point, you have enough information to do this with great confidence that it is the correct and sane choice.
    Let’s get our collective heads out of the Middle Ages peasant mindset.

      And yet, somehow the DNC is completely powerless while we are watching all of our human rights get washed down the drain and simultaneously watching it become legal to bribe judges.

      This is horseshit and the DNC is complicit.
