If the Dems get a workable majority in both houses and the presidency you'll at least have fighting chance that they'll push back on some of this stuff.
The Supreme Court can undo any legislation in a few years, if not sooner. And the current Court is the culmination of a decades-long right-wing project to exercise exactly that sort of control -- that's the whole reason the Federalist Society was formed, and it's the reason Republicans blocked Obama from appointing anyone to replace Ginsburg Scalia. They are actually trying to wield power, Democrats are not.
Don't get me wrong, it's a lousy system and a poor set of choices
The Supreme Court is such a bad system that the bare minimum position from Democrats should be "we are going to pack the court with 10 justices to the left of William O. Douglas." There's a whole set of ideas like this that at least match the scale of the problem (an unelected body acting as a super-legislator), but Democrats aren't interested in any serious solutions. Just like they aren't interested in serious solutions for climate change, healthcare, education, foreign policy, or practically anything else.
The quote for those wondering:
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
the big problem with COVID wasn't the deaths or the actual real failures. The problem was that it interrupted the Treat Drip
This isn't quite right -- you could still have all your food treats (just the takeout versions), besides some delays you still had a wealth of media available, you could absolutely have Thanksgiving or Christmas meals (many people did this with family the same as they always have), sports resumed after a few months, you even had more time to enjoy a lot of these things if you could work from home.
It was more the long-term state of genuine crisis and uncertainty. Everything was up in the air in a way that (like last night's debate) was blatant enough that most people couldn't ignore it.
If Biden drops out I'm going to tell libs I'm voting for him and regurgitate all the excuses they've made thus far
May also throw in a "we have to protect democracy, the people voted for Biden in the primary and now they're trying to overturn that??"
I don't think anyone has anything in defense of Biden here.
To @Dolores@hexbear.net's point, though, CNN embarrassed itself, too. They are both deserving of criticism.
