Let me preface this by saying that I personally would love to clean house at the Supreme Court and prosecutions are long overdue.
With that out of the way, comments like yours make me wonder if it’s bots posting them or if you really do spend that much time on leftist social media. The notion that the progressive left has enough support where anything remotely like a Supreme Court impeachment would happen is delusional. Even if Dems held the majority in the House and 2/3 of the Senate needed to make that happen, the idea that they would be progressive enough to make that happen is crazy.
Not only is it obvious that this country is just as centrist and right leaning as it ever was if you actually go outside, but it’s never been done. There has been one Supreme Court impeachment ever, over 200 years ago, and the Senate failed to convict.
These kinds of comments always increase in frequency around elections. So I’m led to wonder…how much of it is strategic interference to suppress left vote by pushing the narrative that the “blue wave” is big enough without them? How much of it is real people who live in echo chambers? And are those the same people who sat around because there was no way Trump would win in 2016 and 2024?
This. Politics delivers what is expedient, not what is difficult. Meaningful change starts with our culture.
Oh, you must not have read much of my comment history, LOL. I fully realize it's a longshot, especially with so many pussies in Democratic seats who unwilling to fight. Or jagoffs like Fetterman...
But when you see the egregious corruption here, especially with the likes of Clarence Thomas, I do wonder if those within the court are not doing this to ensure that something like this does not happen.
Since they know full well they are corrupt as hell and they are pissing off Americans that are paying attention.
It feels like the ones paying attention and care enough to do something are a major minority. I understand we’re up against a machine but it feels like everyone’s given up already.
