    SCOTUS is why we can’t have nice things. Well, them and congress. And often the executive branch.

    Basically we can’t have nice things.

        I’d say 70% if I had to guess (not a real stat) as someone watching outside of the US.

        Dems, although not being neonazi bigots still have a lot of scum inside. For example undermining recent Right to Repair. Getting bought out by tech companies, especially ISPs locally. And let’s not forget about them siding with railroad companies during strike.

          He said “conservatives,” not “Republicans.” The trick is that most Democrats are conservatives, too.

            It’s all relative. Y’all need to understand that. Compared to YOUR worldview, sure, moderate democrats are conservatives. Compared to centrists? No, they’re not.

            Your political views are abnormal. Compared to most.

          Every House Democrat and all Senate Democrats except Joe Manchin voted to give the striking railroad unions the sick days they were striking for.

          Not sure what you mean by undermining right to repair, the Biden administration issued an executive order directing the FTC to punish companies that restrict the ability of independent shops to repair electronics.
