What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

What word did I say that made you think I'm happy with the Democrats?

I never said you were. I was addressing the claim that they're a lesser evil, which I'm not convinced by.

It's all fucked.

Agreed!

And the Supreme Court was stacked by the last administration

Largely irrelevant. Biden could stack the court, or just tell them to fuck off since they have no real power, or codified Roe into law when the dems controlled congress. There are excuses for why they couldn't do any of those things, sure (not least of which that Biden opposes abortion rights himself because he's a fucking monster). But all of them show that they're fundamentally unserious in fighting back against the fascists. I'm not going to vote for von Hindenburg 2.
