The Supreme Court has numerous issues. For starters, they aren’t elected so they aren’t beholden to the people. They have minimal ethics guidelines so they can accept bribes from billionaires. They don’t have term limits, so they are effectively 9 kings and queens. The electoral college allowing two presidents to win their first term without the popular vote and the Senate giving conservative states over representation has allowed conservatives to capture the court. edit: typo
These compounding issues are destroying our democracy. If we don’t fix these issues we will not have democracy. The Supreme Court is already stripping rights from people, it’s only a matter of time before Republicans win back the Congress and the Presidency. If the Republicans are still controlled by fascists then and we haven’t fixed these problems we are going to be trouble.
ideally should is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence- They don’t. Local governments are often dominated by landlord interests, as well as homeowners- that’s often accomplished by systematically disenfranchising renters.
Yeah, rent is way too expensive. Another reason for socialism to the pile. edit: spacing
