I think there should be a presumption that this is retaliatory

The humor is definitely appreciated 😂

The political realities unfortunately are that a lot of our systems are not designed as lassiez-faire capitalist ideological manifestations but socialist for a white anglo-saxon colonizer nation (one might say, national-socialist) which often implies delegating the discrimination through proxies like corporate employment or residence in neighborhoods of a certain character.

That might help black folks, so it won't work.

Not right, not left, but a secret third position

Given that Republicans are primarily behind these results I imagine they want a party more dedicated to the ideology of national socialism.

This. I grew up in single-party Republican Texas. It's only now that people outside the South are really paying attention to what they have been doing to us.

What a clown show

You don't have to believe that to believe that the parties are not the same. "Inherent good" is a philosophical construct that isn't present in the real world- adopting a fatal nihilism in the face of that is the true idiocy.

Congress cannot impose SCOTUS term limits by statute. For one, Congress lacks enumerated authority to regulate SCOTUS. For another, even if they did, SCOTUS interprets the constitution to mean life terms, which means any simple statute Congress passes is reviewed... by SCOTUS... as facially unconstitutional.

So instead they're loyal to their party's billionaire donors

Reddit-tier commentary here

yep

Technically 2/3 of states could amend by statute

Not a power that belongs to any branch except through a constitutional amendment. The Constitution says life during good behavior.

And yet instead of doing this, you replied? Seems like a questionable course of action

OP smacks of the criticism of the transwoman advertisement. "Are they really trying to tell us that commodification and fetishization of trans bodies is acceptable?"

No!!! The point is that the entire world is a cautionary tale about what happens when you allow corporations unlimited power!!!

IT'S A DYSTOPIA DUMMY
